TH_02 — The Metabolic Consciousness Threshold

Here's a question that sounds purely philosophical but might actually have a number for an answer: how much energy does it take to be conscious? This theory says there's a floor — a minimum amount of power a system must

TH_01 — The Single-Path Hypothesis

Most people who've heard of cosmic "fine-tuning" know the gist: nudge a few of physics' built-in numbers and life becomes impossible. This theory pushes harder and says those numbers don't merely allow life — they force
