Consciousness: Hard Problems and New Theories
Consciousness isn’t a puzzle—it’s a live protocol of ethical, scientific, and existential urgency. This SE Press paper draws on the OSF repository to show how gradient models, empirical audits, and quantum/ecosystemic theories finally make the “hard problem” of consciousness a testable, auditable domain. With every claim evidence-boxed, versioned, and open to audit, the future of consciousness research is now open, plural, and perpetually evolving.
