Subjective reality and brain topology: Inversion transformations on non-orientable atomic surfaces of membrane...

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience and Physics
• Computational Neuroscience
• Biophysics

Background:

• Subject-object relations bridge phenomenology and physics, a central challenge in brain research.
• The dichotomy between subjective experience and physical reality remains unresolved.
• Causal modeling offers a framework to explore this complex relationship.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel topology for subject-object relations.
• To identify a physical realization of this transform in living organisms.
• To explore the role of electron transfer in ion channels.

Main Methods:

• Causal modeling to define subject-object relations.
• Geometrical and topological analysis of a proposed transform.
• Investigation of electronic organization in ion-conducting membrane proteins.

Main Results:

• A continuous transform between subjective and objective domains is proposed, with properties of a one-sided surface.
• This transform is physically realized in the atomic linings of ion channel filter regions.
• Chiral induced spin changes from electron transfer serve as a signature for subject-object relations.

Conclusions:

• A physical dualism between subject and object is realized through inversion on one-sided surfaces.
• The transition between subjective and objective aspects is non-physical, hosting subjective phenomenology.
• This model provides a new perspective on the mind-body problem and consciousness.
