Conscious Agents and the Simulation of Space-Time
What if reality isn’t the goal of perception, but a side effect of information filtering? Donald Hoffman’s The Case Against Reality suggests our senses evolved to see what helps us survive, not what’s true. I take that one step further. Maybe consciousness itself runs on two levels; a…

Does Structure Matter in Quantum Decoherence?
Physicist Vlatko Vedral has argued that we are not solid objects but informational patterns inside the universal quantum wave. Felix Finster’s Causal Fermion Systems go further, showing how spacetime itself may emerge from the relations among these patterns. If that’s true, then consciousness might simply be what it…

Experiment 2: Stacked Deck
Resonance with Randomness The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab famously asked whether human intention could bias the outputs of random machines. Their studies collected millions of trials and reported tiny but statistically significant deviations. But follow-up replications by other labs—sometimes using PEAR’s own equipment and protocols—found no…

Experiment 1: Sealed Envelopes
Revisiting Zener Cards In Sealed Envelopes The Zener card test is famous mostly for its flaws. Five symbols, shuffled and guessed, were meant to probe psychic perception. But critics never ran out of ways to explain away results: the cards were bent, the experimenter smirked, the shuffles weren’t…

CIR²S: Discover Where Conscious Awareness Might Nudge Reality
In my last post, I argued that something is missing in how we describe reality. Physics gives us a machine without experience; psychology gives us experience without matter. To bridge the two, I introduced a scaffold I call CIR²S. Today I want to go into more detail as to why…

Is Consciousness Shaping Reality? Exploring the Hidden Role of Awareness in a Deterministic Universe
Awareness as an informational feedback loop built on quantum foundations. The way we describe reality feels incomplete. Through mainstream physics we’ve been taught to focus purely on physical processes and to see the universe as a fixed (deterministic), impersonal, mechanical system. Psychology gives us thoughts and feelings but…
