TL;DR
This paper proposes a structured theory of qualia based on relative reality, using mathematical models to connect consciousness, physics, and quantum mechanics, offering new insights into the hard problem of consciousness.
Contribution
It introduces a novel theory linking qualia to non-physical entities and develops a mathematical model grounded in Hilbert space to explain perception and quantum phenomena.
Findings
Qualia are non-physical and thoughts are qualia.
The model derives the Schrödinger equation from consciousness principles.
Eigenstates exist for classical energy-conserving systems.
Abstract
The ``Hard Problem" of consciousness refers to a long-standing enigma about how qualia emerge from physical processes in the brain. Building on insights from the development of non-Euclidean geometry, this paper seeks to present a structured and logically coherent theory of qualia to address this problem. The proposed theory starts with a definition on what it means for an entity to be non-physical. A postulate about awareness is posed and utilized to rigorously prove that qualia are non-physical and thoughts are qualia. Then the paper introduces a key concept: relative reality, meaning that perceptions of reality are relative to the observer and time. The concept is analyzed through a mathematical model grounded in Hilbert space theory. The model also sheds new light on cognitive science and physics. In particular, the Schr\"{o}dinger equation can be derived easily through this model.…
