About
The Researcher
The insight came before any of the mathematics. After decades idly engaging physics, cosmology, philosophy, and the nature of experience — not rigorously, but with a voracious curiosity that accumulates more than it intends to — the connection, when it came, was sudden: a recognition that the relationship between consciousness and physical reality was structured in a specific, expressible way.
The subsequent pursuit of that realization was aimed at satisfying personal skepticism rather than declaring it to the world. Most of what came out of it has since been taken apart and rebuilt at least once. What is on this site is the part that has survived that, which is why it is smaller than it used to be.
Jeff Wozniak is just another origin point from which the universe observes itself into existence. His causal frame currently overlaps with Southern California, where basketball is his meditation and a career in information technology pays his bills. His preferred vantage point on reality is topologically knotted to his wife Carmen. ♥ ∞
The Project
The work is published as pre-prints, none of it peer-reviewed. The papers page states the standing of each one, including the one that is unfinished.
This is independent work, not affiliated with any academic institution, and the author has no formal credentials in physics, philosophy, or neuroscience. The argument is laid out in the open with its assumptions priced, and it asks to be engaged on that basis rather than on the author's standing.
What's most wanted from readers: substantive corrections, technical critiques, pointers to relevant prior work the author should know about, and arguments against the load-bearing steps. The work asks to be falsified.
