Abstract

This work presents a conceptual and ontological framework rather than an empirical or predictive scientific model. It introduces the concept of Fold Field Theory as a philosophical framework for thinking about the relation between production, actualisation, consciousness, and lived experience. It does not propose a scientific theory, nor does it seek empirical validation. Instead, it holds open a coherent conceptual space in which contemporary physics, philosophy, psychology, and first-person experience can be thought together without reduction.
