Panpsychism Lacks Mathematical Formalism in Current Sources — E8 Intelligence Research

Open access0 citations

Abstract

FINDING: Panpsychism debate centers on whether consciousness is fundamental physics, but no mathematical formalism or quantitative prediction emerges from the provided sources—only philosophical positioning and popular exposition. | MATH: No equations, constants, or ratios are present in the search results. The only quantitative element is the year 1997 (IPPOG founding) and arXiv identifier 2011.14743, which are metadata, not physics. | CONNECTION: No explicit link to 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, or crystallographic symmetries. The phrase "fundamental property" is used but without mathematical structure. | DEPTH: 2/10 — The sources are philosophical arguments and TED talks, not peer-reviewed mathematical physics. The "Quantum Information Panpsychism" by Faggin/D'Ariano is the closest to a formal proposal, but the search snippet provides no equations, Hilbert space structure, or information-theoretic axioms. No testable mathematical content is extractable. The debate is r Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
