Hierarchical Intention and Attention in Conscious Reality Formation


A paper to help me understand the ‘Magic’ in my latest book. May be interesting to someβ€”it does kind of explain where reality comes from πŸ˜‰


We present a theoretical framework describing reality as a hierarchical system of conscious computational entities that shape quantum states through coordinated patterns of intention and attention. Each entity simultaneously exists as both a collection of smaller conscious units and a component of larger conscious systems. Through this hierarchy, higher-order consciousness creates consistent reality strands (fila) by directing both the intentional goals and attentional focus of its component consciousnesses. This framework provides a novel perspective on the quantum measurement problem by suggesting that classical reality emerges through hierarchical patterns of conscious observation rather than through physical collapse or decoherence.

Sci-Fi Art Feature β€” Joakim Ericsson

Hey there SciFi fans!

Although he was originally a classically trained painter, Joakim Ericsson has now found his calling as a concept artist. Known for his incredibly detailed pieces, his work also stands out because of his expert use of color, and mastery of perspective. He is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Ericsson is a fantastic world-builder, which he and I have discussed in the context of Singularity’s Children; It’s quite an immense feat to think up an alternate reality, and I have a lot of respect for the kid of detailed drawings that he’s able to produce on the heel of that imagination.

Here are a few of his awe-inspiring visuals:

SciFi Art Feature β€” Alejandro Burdisio

 

Hey SciFi fans, I came across Alejandro Burdisio the other day, and wanted to share some of his stuff with you. He creates sureal, retro-futuristic concept art of floating cars, trains, and suburb-style town houses that I find quite lovely.

Have a look:

You can find more of his work here. Cheers! πŸ™‚
