The Simulation You Call “I”: The Architecture of Consciousness, Computation, and the Cosmos - Softcover
Synopsis
You are a simulation.
Not a metaphor. Not a philosophical thought experiment. A literal, running simulation — generated by your brain, updated hundreds of times per second, experienced from the inside.
A unified theory of consciousness that dissolves the hard problem. This book presents a new theory built on a simple insight: your brain maintains four models — two of the world (one learned, one simulated) and two of the self (one learned, one simulated). The split between these learned and simulated layers is where consciousness lives. Qualia — the redness of red, the taste of coffee, the feeling of being you — are not mysterious. They are the sensory vocabulary of the simulation.
What this book does that others don't:
- Dissolves the hard problem — not by explaining it away, but by showing it's a category error
- Explains psychedelic phenomenology — why DMT dissolves your self but not your world, predicted from first principles
- Makes 9 specific, testable predictions — most consciousness theories make zero
- Provides a concrete blueprint for building a conscious machine — not philosophy, engineering
- Connects consciousness to cosmology — the same computational architecture, from neurons to the universe
For readers of Anil Seth, Philip Goff, and Christof Koch — but with something none of them offer: a falsifiable theory with an engineering roadmap.
Written by an outsider with a bioinformatics background and no university affiliation, this book started as a 300-page German monograph that sold zero copies. This is the accessible version — shorter, sharper, and aimed at anyone who has ever wondered why anything feels like anything.
"If I'm right, consciousness was never mysterious. It was just mislabeled."
Includes: 9 testable predictions, a complete neurology reference guide, a lucid dreaming protocol, and the intelligence model that explains why curiosity drives everything.
Academic papers under peer review. Preprints freely available on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18861613).
