The feelings of knowing - fundamental interoceptive patterns (FoK-FIP) system: connecting consciousness to physics

The feelings of knowing - fundamental interoceptive patterns (FoK-FIP) theory is both a theory of the mind and a unification theory. It includes cosmological and cellular frameworks. The cellular frameworks occur through the cosmological frameworks. This framework within a framework approach allows the connection between physics and consciousness to be envisioned in new ways, expanding current understanding and definitions. The cosmological frameworks refer to the astrophysics and theoretical physics constructs (e.g., string theory) that, without the use of mathematical language, conceptually expand the theory. In contrast, the cellular frameworks are the constructs represented by living organism models with DNA. In this way, the FoK-FIP theory represents an efficient framework for understanding consciousness and its phenomena. The transdisciplinary modeling of the FoK-FIP theory creates contextual bridging between classical theory and quantum theory as well as a broad range of empirical research so that biology and information connect, creating new avenues for disease diagnosis, intervention, and prevention. This article intends to render the FoK-FIP theory more robust and accessible for practical application by introducing the FoK-FIP system, which includes figures to promote clarity. Further, the theory aims to stimulate reasoning that challenges current notions about 'life' and the concept of 'self.' Through this process, the theory might contribute to the transdisciplinary collaboration needed to address some of the world's complex issues. It is suggested that a significant contributor to the current complex matters in the world is the lack of understanding of how things are and how they appear.
