A Testable Hypothesis on Consciousness as a Fundamental Property of the Universe

This project contains a series of interconnected papers developing a unified framework for understanding consciousness. The preprint “Towards a Unified Framework for Consciousness” (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18138091) introduces the conceptual model. Two companion papers expand the framework: • Mathematical Distinction Between Consciousness and Conscious Awareness C/A (Technical Note) • The Moral Implications of a Shared Consciousness (Companion Report) Together, these documents outline a philosophical, mathematical, and ethical foundation for viewing consciousness as a universal and unifying property of reality.
