MIU Theory: A Framework for Subjective Emergence in Artificial and Biological Systems

This paper introduces MIU Theory, a theoretical framework that redefines the conditions under which subjectivity emerges in both biological and artificial systems. Unlike conventional approaches that equate intelligence or language capability with agency, MIU Theory positions large language models as semantic fuel rather than autonomous entities, embedding them within a broader architecture that includes experience-dependent development, embodiment, and irreversible temporal continuity. The paper further explores applied implications, including immersive virtual reality, digital brain architectures, and the concept of MIU Androids—artificial entities designed not as tools, but as constrained neighbors within human society. Rather than proposing immediate implementation, this work is intended as a preprint to document a conceptual discovery that may have long-term implications for cognitive science, artificial intelligence, ethics, and the future definition of humanity.
