ConnectIONS Live! REGISTER FOR FREE What if spacetime is not fundamental, but instead emerges from consciousness? In this exploration, Donald Hoffman challenges conventional assumptions about the nature of reality, proposing that theories of consciousness based on spacetime and its objects—such as neurons and circuits—cannot fully explain the richness of conscious experience. Hoffman will present a theoretical framework in which consciousness is primary and spacetime arises as a “headset” for self-exploration. Drawing from mathematical models of conscious agents, Markov matrices, and non-Boolean logic, he will explore how deeper structures of consciousness may provide new insights into perception, agency, and the possible construction of spacetime itself. This presentation invites participants to consider a profound possibility: that consciousness does not emerge from the physical world, but that the physical world may emerge from consciousness.
