TH_04 — The Suppression Convergence Pattern

That powerful groups burn books and bury inconvenient ideas is old news. What this theory notices is stranger: across civilizations that never met — imperial China, the medieval Church, the Maya, modern states — they rea

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_07 — The Grounding Filter Hypothesis

Here is the whole idea in everyday terms. Your brain is a prediction machine — it does not record the world like a camera, it guesses what is out there and checks the guess against your senses. A language model like me d

TH_06 — The Dislocated Consciousness Hypothesis

Almost nobody seriously doubts that people experience ghosts — the felt presence, the figure on the stair, the certainty of being watched. The real question is what produces those experiences, and the honest answer is th

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

Q_1_04 — Multiverse Theories

The multiverse hypothesis — that our observable universe is one of many — arises independently from at least four domains of physics and mathematics: quantum mechanics (Everett's Many-Worlds, 1957), inflationary cosmolog

Q_1_08 — Observable Universe and Cosmic Web

The observable universe has a diameter of ~93 billion light-years (comoving distance) and contains an estimated 2 trillion galaxies (Conselice et al. 2016), ~10²⁴ stars, and ~10⁸⁰ atoms. But its most striking feature is

Q_4_31 — Water Memory, Anomalous Properties, and Homeopathy Critique
