Abstract

Foundational Consciousness Theory (FCT) is a non-materialist framework that posits consciousness as the primary, universal substrate from which matter, space, and time emerge as a biological ‘user interface’. FCT reconciles the universal experience of ‘the numinous’ with empirical evidence from evolutionary psychology, interspecies communication, and contemporary post-materialist physics.
