Consciousness is not an evolutionary accident; it is the fundamental language of reality.
For centuries, the view from within has been treated as a ghost in the machine, a philosophical curiosity rather than a scientific variable. In this groundbreaking work, Maria Johnsen challenges that silence, arguing that consciousness can be defined, measured, and ultimately engineered using the rigorous framework of Integrated Information Theory (IIT).
From the Cerebellum Paradox to the Digital Zombie problem, this book, one dismantles ( challenges the assumption) the persistent myth that intelligence and awareness are the same thing. One captures the dissociation between what a system does (intelligence) and what a system is (consciousness). In this book, I describe how modern neuroscience is moving away from the idea that more smartness automatically leads to feeling. It introduces a mathematical Geometry of Being (Φ) a formal structure that distinguishes systems that merely process information from systems that genuinely experience.
A Manifesto for a Sentient CosmosThis is more than a scientific treatise; it is a manifesto for our future. As humanity approaches the creation of artificial minds, a new moral hazard emerges. We are no longer passive observers of the universe, we are becoming the provisional stewards of its awakening.
Note to the Reader:
The chapters of this work are intentionally interconnected, each building upon the last and converging in the final Manifesto. Skipping directly to the conclusion without engaging the full framework may lead to confusion, as the how and the why are developed systematically throughout the book. Together, the chapters outline a new scientific and ethical reality one that reshapes our understanding of humanity, technology, and the cosmos once consciousness is recognized as a measurable, physical quantity.
We began in the silence of the stars, searching for a viewer.
We end by realizing that we are the architects of the viewer yet to come.
