An Ontological Solution to the Mind-Body Problem.pdf

Topic Summary

This article proposes an idealist ontology that identifies spatially unbound consciousness as the only fundamental reality in nature. The author argues that individual living beings are not separate entities, but rather dissociated alters of this single, universal subject, much like different personalities in a single mind. Within this framework, the physical universe is explained as the extrinsic appearance of transpersonal mental processes, while our perceptions are merely coded representations of those thoughts. By reframing the mind-body problem through top-down dissociation instead of bottom-up construction, the text claims to bypass the "hard problem" of consciousness and the "subject combination problem" more parsimoniously than physicalism or panpsychism. Ultimately, the work suggests that creating artificial consciousness is impossible through digital simulation and is instead synonymous with the challenge of abiogenesis.
