RIFT: A Fractal-Holographic Theory of Consciousness and Autopoietic Control

2026-03-27

Abstract excerpt

Consciousness remains poorly understood as a causative force: existing theories treat it as an epiphenomenal correlate of neural activity rather than explaining how inner experience controls its substrate. I present Recurrent Integration Fractal Theory (RIFT), proposing that consciousness arises when fractal compression of sensory information generates a holographic endospace: the spatiotemporal dimension in which...
