Overview

Reveals how multiple individuated subjects arise in a unified experiential framework, suggesting a structural explanation for perspective formation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explain how individuated perspectives emerge within a consciousness-first ontology.
  • Analyzes existing theories like panpsychism and cosmopsychism
  • Utilizes dynamical systems theory and cognitive science to develop a framework
  • Formulates an Integration Dominance Criterion for subject formation
  • Identifies stable regimes of integration as individuated subjects
  • Establishes that internal integration governs subject unity
  • Proposes that boundaries arise from structural segregation in the experiential field
