An Experiential Vocabulary

Work in Progress. Revision of https://zenodo.org/records/17244759: A Unifying Framework for the Conscious Experience and a Ground-Up Neuroethics. Abstract Part I An experiential vocabulary serves two goals. The first goal is the facilitation of the transfer of insights between the experiential and physical domain. This requires an experiential vocabulary that is rigorous enough to capture the psychophysical bridging laws, yet flexible enough to describe the experiential events of interest for the insight transfer. The second goal is to provide experiential semantics a vocabulary that can carry the full semantic burden of concepts via its formulated experiential events. This is key to increasing the range and rigor of experiential communication and insight, be it for conceptual investigation or practice, see part II. It is claimed that Formology satisfies both requirements: it is rigid enough to systematically capture the bridging laws while remaining flexible enough to describe all relevant experiential events. Therefore, Formology is claimed a good candidate for both the transfer of insights and for experiential semantics. Abstract Part II How can an experiential vocabulary aid morality, be it on individual or societal level? This work answers this question by describing a felt stance and by equating the moral motive with narrative beauty. It proceeds in five stages—pragmatic, analytic, neurotheological, metaphysical, existential, and an application to queerness—each grounded in the same experiential interpretation of morality.
