Communicative & integrative biology January 1, 2016 Neil D Theise, Menas C Kafatos 23 citations
The universe is fundamentally non-material, grounded in non-dual Awareness that is not reducible to anything else. Awareness and existence are identical, making the universe a self-organizing holarchy of complementary, process-driven, recursive interactions. This framework treats information as primary over materiality, action over agency, and qualia as foundational elements rather than a hard problem. It integrates perspectives from science, philosophy, and metaphysics, reflecting Western philosophical traditions, diverse contemplative and mystical insights, and current scientific thinking expressible mathematically.
