The Self-Field Theory: A Unifying Physics Theory of Consciousness

By T M Nguyen

The subject was never inside the brain.

That single shift dissolves the deepest paradoxes in consciousness research - why experience exists at all, why it feels unified, why it persists, and why the act of observation changes the physical world.

The Self-Field Theory proposes a radical reorientation of consciousness research, philosophy of mind, and theoretical physics. Not an incremental improvement on existing frameworks - a structural correction to the assumption underlying all of them. Three physical primitives. A candidate Lagrangian. Forty-two falsifiable hypotheses spanning neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.

SFT introduces no new physics. It is a novel configuration of established physics, constrained by empirical phenomena.
The only new assumption is the existence of a Self-Field, which is no more speculative than the inflaton, axion, or spacetime metric field. Everything else follows from standard quantum mechanics, field theory, and information theory.

For readers drawn to the hard problem of consciousness, the measurement problem in quantum physics, the nature of personal identity, free will, near death experiences, and the ultimate fate of the universe - the implications are wider than you might expect.

This book was not written to be right. It was written to make you look at the world differently.
Whether it succeeds is up to you.
