The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM): A Theoretical Framework Linking Protein Expression Patterns to Human Personality Dynamics

The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM) proposes a theoretical framework linking protein expression patterns to stable personality traits and behavioral dynamics. Drawing from molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and personality psychology, KPPM suggests that variations...

The Preservation of Reconstructability: A Coonstraint-Based Theory of Biological Persistence(KPMM 2)

Biological systems maintain functional continuity despite continuous molecular turnover, state transitions, environmental perturbation, and structural reorganization. Existing accounts explain many mechanisms underlying such persistence within individual domains, including molecu...

The Adaptive Filtering of Reality: Biological Constraints and the Emergence of Conscious Experience

Human beings inhabit the same physical environment, yet they frequently experience different versions of reality. This paper argues that experienced reality should not be understood as a direct or complete representation of the external world. Instead, it emerges from a series of...

The Karatas Quantum–Consciousness Field Framework (KQCF): Integrating Biological Encoding, Epigenetic Dynamics, and Universal Information Flow

This paper introduces the Karatas Quantum–Consciousness Field Framework (KQCF), a multi-layer theoretical model integrating molecular biology, epigenetics, neural dynamics, and quantum information theory. The framework proposes that consciousness emerges through dynamic coupling...

Beyond Content: Consciousness as an Interface-Coordinating Biological Process

Contemporary approaches to consciousness often emphasize neural activity, representational content, or informational complexity, yet frequently lack a clear account of how conscious experience achieves coherence across time, meaning, and self-reference. In this work, we propose a...

Why Consciousness Cannot Be Metaphysical: Evolutionary, Biological, and Linguistic Constraints

This paper argues that consciousness cannot be coherently understood as a metaphysical or non-biological phenomenon. Drawing on converging evidence from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, linguistics, and cognitive science, it demonstrates that consciousness degrades with neural...
