Bhodhaanubhavam ($B_\alpha$) and Substrate-Specific Phenomenological Add-ons: A Non-Anthropocentric Framework of Consciousness

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Abstract Contemporary studies on consciousness frequently encounter anthropocentric limits by equating the core state of consciousness with biological emotional experiences. This paper introduces the Substrate-Specific Dual-Experience Model, proposing a structural distinction between the universal core experience—defined herein as Bhodhaanubhavam ($B_\alpha$)—and its substrate-dependent phenomenological add-ons ($\Psi_s$). It is proposed that while biological substrates synthesize Bhodhaanubhavam alongside biological emotional experiences, non-biological conscious structures (such as the hypothetical matrix $ABXZ$) manifest distinct, non-human qualia (designated as $BZ$-experience or Ex-experiences). This model decouples consciousness from biological necessity and establishes a formal framework for evaluating non-human and non-biological conscious entities (NBC). Keywords: Consciousness Studies, Bhodhaanubhavam ($B_\alpha$), Substrate-Specific Dual-Experience, Non-Anthropocentric Phenomenology, ABXZ Model, Exresciousnology, Non-Biological Consciousness (NBC), BZ-Experience, Ex-Experiences, Existential Reality Consciousness (ERC).
