Imagine you’re looking in a mirror.… Read More “The Conscious Universe: Why True Awareness Requires More Than Computation”
Here’s a thought that might reshape how we think about consciousness: what if awareness isn’t something that emerges from complex computation, but is instead as fundamental to reality as gravity itself? This is the intriguing proposition I explore across four interconnected papers that attempt to bridge physics, information theory, and the mystery of consciousness.… Read More “The Geometric Nature of Consciousness: A New Framework Connecting Physics, Information, and Mind – (Non-Technical Introduction)”

This paper constructs a formal deductive argument for the necessity of a processing modality that transcends standard Turing-equivalent computation—termed herein “Transputation”—for any system capable of achieving “perfect self-awareness,” which we rigorously define as the foundational characteristic of sentience.… Read More “On The Formal Necessity of Trans-Computational Processing for Sentience”
After years of percolation, a web of ideas achieved practical fusion, yielding the next major iteration of my thinking on consciousness and how it emerges from geometry and topology in the universe. This is not the end of the story – I have a lot more to say about this topic – but it’s a milestone and waypoint on this journey.… Read More “The Geometric Theory of Consciousness”

Building on the geometric theory of information processing established in “Toward a Geometric Theory of Information Processing” (Spivack, 2025), we explore comprehensive frameworks for potentially creating artificial intelligence systems that might exhibit consciousness-like properties.… Read More “Quantum Geometric Artificial Consciousness: Architecture, Implementation, and Ethical Frameworks”
I’ve spent the last several years developing what I believe could be a fundamental breakthrough in how we understand intelligence—both biological and artificial.… Read More “The Geometry of Intelligence: Why I Think Math Might Hold the Key to Understanding Minds and Machines”

We establish Geometric Information Theory (GIT) (which we might refer to as “GIT from bit”) as a new mathematical framework that applies differential geometry to analyze information processing systems across biological and artificial domains.… Read More “Toward a Geometric Theory of Information Processing: Mathematical Foundations, Computational Applications, and Empirical Predictions”
For many decades I have been working on Alpha Theory – a new Theory of Everything (TOE) – and in particular a theory of consciousness – which unifies mathematics, the physical sciences, cognitive science, computer science, metaphysics, and spirituality.
Alpha theory derives the nature of space, time and consciousness from first principles, using a rigorous formal logical proof approach.… Read More “The Golden Bridge: Treatise on the Primordial Reality of Alpha”
