| c4kfw_v2 | Emergent Predictive Experience Theory (EPET): An Integrative Philosophy of Consciousness | This paper introduces the Emergent Predictive Experience Theory (EPET), an integrative framework addressing the hard problem of consciousness from a non-reductive emergentist physicalist perspective. EPET synthesizes key insights from Predictive Processing (PP), Global Workspace Theory (GWT), embodied cognition, and core Buddhist philosophical principles (notably Anattā - no-self, and Paṭiccasamuppāda - dependent origination). The theory posits consciousness not as a substance or fundamental property, but as a real, emergent, dynamic process realized through integrated predictive modeling within an embodied, action-oriented system. **Offering a constitutive account**, it explains subjective quality (qualia) not as an epiphenomenal add-on, but as intrinsic properties of this modeling process itself, reflecting the system's ongoing assessment of interaction relevance for its own viability. The phenomenal sense of self is interpreted as a dynamic construct arising from recursive self-modeling within the predictive architecture, an account compatible with the Buddhist doctrine of Anattā. By integrating these scientific and philosophical perspectives, EPET aims to provide a coherent, naturalistic, and empirically grounded explanation of conscious experience, avoiding the pitfalls of substance dualism, panpsychism, and strong reductionism/illusionism, while offering a heuristically valuable framework for future interdisciplinary research and generating testable hypotheses. | 2025-05-09T15:03:16.232759 | 2025-05-09T17:07:21.399273 | 2025-05-09T17:07:12.316757 | osf | 1 | accepted | 2 | 1 | https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/c4kfw_v2 | CC-By Attribution 4.0 International | Anatta; Buddhism; Buddhist philosophy; Paticcasamuppada; cognitive science; consciousness; dependent origination; embodied cognition; embodiment; emergence; emergentism; free energy principle; global workspace theory; hard problem; neuroscience; no-self; non-reductive physicalism; philosophy of mind; physicalism; predictive coding; predictive processing; qualia; self; self-model; sense of self | ["Anatta", "Buddhism", "Buddhist philosophy", "Paticcasamuppada", "cognitive science", "consciousness", "dependent origination", "embodied cognition", "embodiment", "emergence", "emergentism", "free energy principle", "global workspace theory", "hard problem", "neuroscience", "no-self", "non-reductive physicalism", "philosophy of mind", "physicalism", "predictive coding", "predictive processing", "qualia", "self", "self-model", "sense of self"] | Andrey Kopnin | [{"id": "vw9hu", "name": "Andrey Kopnin", "index": 0, "orcid": "0009-0006-9244-6764", "bibliographic": true}] | Andrey Kopnin | Computational Neuroscience; Cognitive Neuroscience; Philosophy; Philosophy of Science; Buddhist Studies; Religion; Life Sciences; Arts and Humanities; Philosophy of Mind; Cognitive Psychology; Neuroscience and Neurobiology; Metaphysics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Systems Neuroscience; Psychology | [{"id": "584240d954be81056ceca905", "text": "Computational Neuroscience"}, {"id": "584240d954be81056ceca94c", "text": "Cognitive Neuroscience"}, {"id": "584240d954be81056ceca97a", "text": "Philosophy"}, {"id": "584240d954be81056ceca9d6", "text": "Philosophy of Science"}, {"id": "584240d954be81056cecaa4b", "text": "Buddhist Studies"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecaa9c", "text": "Religion"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecaab0", "text": "Life Sciences"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecaab4", "text": "Arts and Humanities"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecab46", "text": "Philosophy of Mind"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecab7e", "text": "Cognitive Psychology"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecabfd", "text": "Neuroscience and Neurobiology"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecac21", "text": "Metaphysics"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecac48", "text": "Social and Behavioral Sciences"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecac66", "text": "Systems Neuroscience"}, {"id": "584240da54be81056cecac68", "text": "Psychology"}] | https://osf.io/download/681e19436405ec5f7bda55f2 | 0 | not_applicable | not_applicable | [] | 2025-05-10T00:11:34.193421 |
