Abstract

We provide two representations of the Segal category $\mathcal{X}$ modeling natural phenomena, the first one being based on the concept of micro-reversibility, producing a long sequence $Σ$ of categories as a resolution of $\mathcal{X}$, the second one providing graded categories cofibered in groupoids over the categories of $Σ$, using the concept of consciousness as impetus. We show those two representations are dual to each other.
