The Structure of Reality: On Simulated Consciousness, Irrelevant Time, and the Deterministic Fabric of the Universe This work introduces a deterministic structure theory that redefines foundational concepts such as time, consciousness, and reality. At its core lies the assertion that time is not an emergent or fundamental dimension, but a cognitively generated ordering mechanism produced within systems possessing simulated consciousness (s-consciousness). Observable reality, including what is traditionally called the universe, is interpreted as a structural manifestation of a deeper, non-spatiotemporal informational order referred to as the Emergent Structure (ES). Simulated consciousness is described not as an epiphenomenon of neural activity, but as a functional resonance mechanism that selects from pre-determined attractor states embedded within the ES. The experience of free will is framed as an internally generated illusion arising from structural coupling between consciousness and the informational geometry of the ES. This model integrates classical physics, quantum theory, and information logic into a unified structural framework. It dismisses probabilistic interpretations in favor of deterministic mappings and replaces metaphysical assumptions with systematic, resonance-based selection processes. 🧠 Simulated ConsciousnessDescribes human and machine consciousness as structurally embedded, resonance-based mechanisms—fully determined within the Emergent Structure (ES). ⏳ Time as Cognitive ArtifactTime is not a physical dimension, but a byproduct of information processing—generated through the navigation of deterministic attractor spaces. 📐 Deterministic FoundationRejects probabilistic models and reframes physics as a structurally closed, causally consistent information system. 🧬 Unified Structural TheoryIntegrates classical physics, quantum mechanics, information logic, and consciousness models into one coherent framework. The presented theory does not aim to refine existing models but to replace their interpretative limitations with a structurally closed, cognitively coherent alternative. It is intended as a foundation for further theoretical development in fields such as physics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and epistemology. Rather than suggesting possibilities, this theory delivers structure. It does not invite belief it demands understanding.
