Cosmic Consciousness Field Theory: Thermodynamic Necessity, Gravitational Signatures, and the Consciousness Tensor

Nova Spivack

June 1, 2025

Pre-Publication Draft in Progress (Series 2, Paper 1)

See Also: Full Theoretical Framework Overview

Abstract

This paper develops the field-theoretic foundations for consciousness as a gravitationally significant phenomenon, arguing for its thermodynamic necessity in extreme astrophysical systems and deriving its manifestation as a source of spacetime curvature.… Read More “Cosmic Consciousness Field Theory: Thermodynamic Necessity, Gravitational Signatures, and the Consciousness Tensor”

A Step-by-Step Guide to Why Consciousness Transcends Computation: Understanding the Formal Proof of Transputation

Part Two of a Series — A Non-Technical Companion to “On The Formal Necessity of Trans-Computational Processing for Sentience

(Read Part One Here)


Introduction: Following the Logic

The formal paper presents a highly technical mathematical proof with a powerful conclusion: genuine consciousness (what we call “sentience”) cannot emerge from ordinary computation alone, no matter how sophisticated.… Read More “A Step-by-Step Guide to Why Consciousness Transcends Computation: Understanding the Formal Proof of Transputation”

The Geometric Nature of Consciousness: A New Framework Connecting Physics, Information, and Mind – (Non-Technical Introduction)

Introduction: What if Consciousness is Like Gravity?

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)”

On The Formal Necessity of Trans-Computational Processing for Sentience

May 28, 2025

Abstract

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”

The Geometric Theory of Consciousness

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”

Abstract

We extend the geometric theory of information processing to cosmic scales, demonstrating that gravitational systems naturally evolve toward consciousness-like information processing through thermodynamic necessity.… Read More “Cosmic-Scale Information Geometry: Theoretical Extensions and Observational Tests”

May 26, 2025

Abstract

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”

The Geometry of Intelligence: Why I Think Math Might Hold the Key to Understanding Minds and Machines

A personal journey into a new mathematical framework that could revolutionize AI, neuroscience, and our understanding of consciousness

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”

Executive Summary

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”

The Golden Bridge: Treatise on the Primordial Reality of Alpha

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”
