To Do Proper Science, You Have to Be a Realist
What is reality, and why must a scientist be a "realist" about it? Reality can be defined as the sum total of all that truly exists – “the aggregate of all that is real or existent… known and unknown”.

If you want to immortalize your consciousness, record and digitize
A philosophical exploration, tracing the path of AI from multimodal large language models to the creation of an eternal cognitive partner, a 'Second Brain' beyond time.
Unveiling the IceBerg Mind: Consciousness, Unconscious, and the Quantum Brain Hypothesis
Mental multiplicity, unconscious processing, and cognitive chaos aligns with, challenges, or extends scientific paradigms, such as global workspace theory, dual-process models and quantum cognition. [o3Pro]
What Is Time? Why It Ticks Uniformly for All Observers?
Time is one of the most mysterious aspects of reality. We explore the nature of time from classical physics through relativity, quantum mechanics, and modern cosmology, aiming to illuminate what time is, where it might have “come from,” and why it appears to tick uniformly for all observers.
Functional information is inherently "Contextual"
Functional information constitutes a universal principle akin to mass or energy, how it operates across both biological and non-biological domains, its potential testability, its metaphysical implications, and its role in guiding the emergence of complexity and consciousness.
Safety or Freedom? Time or Eternity?
Time enters physics as a parameter to order events and quantify change

What's empty space? the question sharpened by the "Dark Energy" mystery.
Let's dive deep into the nature of dark energy, perhaps the most profound mystery in modern cosmology, and its relationship with "Nothingness", or empty Space.
Free Will and the Architecture of Choice
Deep in quantum theory, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics, while daring to speculate beyond the known into the frontiers of the unknown and the unknowable.
"Nobel" Prize in Physics: Merit Only Historical Analysis - And tribute to Emmy Noether
This analysis reimagines the Nobel Prize in Physics based purely on scientific merit, removing the constraints of mortality and political considerations that have historically shaped the awards. And why Emmy Noether (1882-1935) deserves a posthumous award.
Information Immortality: DNA, AI, and the Future of Life’s Legacy
Have we reached a turning point where biology’s continuity is no longer solely dependent on reproduction, but can instead be offloaded onto informational substrates?
El Jardín de los Senderos Imposibles. Al "Aire" de Alejandro Dolina (más o menos)
Hay actos tan difíciles de realizar que uno no puede ejecutarlos si no se convence, primero, de que ya están hechos.
Peer Review: Free Will and the Architecture of Choice
We evaluate Free Will and the Architecture of Choice: A Philosophical Investigation, a thesis that ventures to locate human free will within the fundamental workings of the cosmos. The author proposes that quantum indeterminacy furnishes a physical substrate for genuine choice, thereby reconciling the existence of free agency with an
Free will - Does quantum indeterminacy provides the substrate for genuine choice?
Free will is the universe's method of transcending its own deterministic nature—creating conscious beings who serve as portals through which genuine novelty enters existence, making us both the experiment and the experimenters in reality's ongoing self-creation.
How Borges "Time" Labyrinths can make the "Impossible" becomes "Possible"
The impossible becomes possible when we collapse time within consciousness, transforming future into memory and thereby transcending the labyrinth of choice through an act of paradoxical commitment.
Wheeler "it from bit" - Reality, Consciousness, and the Nature of existence
The universe doesn't contain consciousness - consciousness is how the universe experiences itself into existence. The physical universe ("it") arises from information or bits ("bit"), encoded in yes or no answers. It suggests that our experience of reality is fundamentally information-based.
