CIA Framework: A Solution to the Hard Problem of Consciousness
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) July 4, 2026 Satya P. Dubey
The Consciousness Intelligence Awareness (CIA) Framework offers a theoretical solution to the hard problem of consciousness, which concerns how and why physical processes give rise to subjective experience. The framework proposes a conceptual model that integrates consciousness, intelligence, and awareness as interrelated components, aiming to explain the relationship between brain activity and conscious experience. The argument suggests that these three elements form a unified system that can account for the qualitative aspects of consciousness without reducing them to mere physical processes.
