Information-Cognitive Model of Reality Reduction and Subjective Time Dynamics.

This paper presents a theoretical model in which perceived reality is understood as the result of informational reduction performed by the cognitive system. It is based on the assumption that human consciousness does not operate on the full data structure of the environment, but on an optimized approximation whose aim is to minimize prediction error and energy expenditure. The model integrates principles of Bayesian information processing, the free-energy theory formulated by Karl Friston, and current neuroscientific knowledge concerning the limited capacity of conscious attention. On this basis, it introduces the concept of temporal asynchrony of perception, according to which the subjective flow of time corresponds to the dynamics of updating the internal model of the world. It further formulates extended hypotheses concerning the continuity of consciousness within Hugh Everett’s many-worlds interpretation and a model of informational resonance between cognitive systems. The aim of the work is not to redefine physical laws, but to offer a unifying information-cognitive framework that connects perception, subjective time, and anomalous experiences within a single model.
