Philip, Rey (Editor)1 Show affiliations 1. Theory of Ontological Consciousness Project Description This interdisciplinary essay explores a forgotten hypothesis at the intersection of physics, philosophy, and fiction: that consciousness is not a byproduct of matter, but its ontological foundation. Tracing this idea from Heraclitus and Plato to Schrödinger and Penrose, the article integrates metaphysical traditions with quantum models and critiques of materialist reductionism. It introduces the Theory of Ontological Consciousness (TOC) — a literary-philosophical framework proposing ψ̂–Φ interactions as the generative basis of spacetime and form. The essay also reinterprets empirical anomalies, such as those documented by the Global Consciousness Project, as potential signatures of an underlying field of universal consciousness.  For more on the Theory of Ontological Consciousness, visit www.toc-reality.org and follow new updates via Medium    -   https://medium.com/@philiprey.org

there is no fundamental objectivity because the scientist is always bring bringing um its his or her interests uh and perspective and Tool making and strategies and these in in essence mold their questions into the questions that they can answer because they need to be able to mold them and so there is no objective uh window into reality in that in that case no scientific realism

that doesn't mean that science transcends if you like the human standpoint and we see things with a God's eye view if that's what we mean by objective then I would say no it's not objective

However, this paper considers Bushin relation to earlier concerns about memory and information, via the ideas of Robert Hookeand John Locke.

And it wasn’t because the people running it put clear rules in place to prevent misbehavior.

It is important to realize that persons can, and often have to, exercise agency in these settings as they construct, leverage, repurpose, and transform social and mate-rial arrangements in order to provide meaningful, cross-setting connections related to their goals and concerns.

Life-long learning is a fa mi l ia r not ion t hat refers to t he acqu isit ion of f u nda men-tal cultural, social, and cognitive abilities developed over the life course from infan-cy to old age

An interdisciplin-ary group of scholars following a similar line of thinking distilled academic litera-tures related to learning in and out of school environments within diverse commu-nities, and they advanced 3 central concepts and associated learning principles [Banks et al., 2007]. The 3 conceptual ideas – life-long, life-wide, and life-deep learn-ing – highlight the foundational inf luence of temporal, spatial, and value-driven di-mensions of learning and development, respectively.

This mobile ethnography takes unexpected trajectories in tracing a cultural formation across and within multiple sites of activity that destabi-lize the distinction

our work is organized around the prin-ciples that people are part of multiple activity systems, and that learning should be studied accordingly.

As Hull and Shultz (2001) cau-tion, problematizing the view of out-of-school learning as “frivolous” or “incidental” does not mean that we should swing to the other extreme, “relegating all good things to out-of-school, with school only seen as a repressive space” (p. 83).

If we understand the researcher as a learner, there is a similar privileging of vertical forms of learning and expertise at play. Treating the work of the ethnography as akin to the linear movement from novice to expert—gaining “mastery” of a single setting—appears to reflect both the assumptions of the traditional ethnographic template and more reductive definitions of learning.

attending to horizontal forms of learning challenges traditional notions of “transfer” by making central the hybridization and transformation of practices, rather than their mere reproduction or application. Expertise itself is thereby widened to include the negotiation of various contexts and the development of hybrid solu-tions: border and genre-crossing practices that demand their own distinct skills and strategies. Research that makes central the mutual constitution of vertical and horizontal forms of learning can contribute to developing the documentation and assessment appropriate for afterschool and out-of-school learning, and identifying points of leverage and coordination such that the interests, questions, ideas, practices, and tools sparked in

Teachers and studentsare dis/placed when these official practices exclude and discount them, forcing them to existin marginal spaces, devalued and suppressed.

This calls for a theoretical framework that blendsinsights from sociocultural theories of learning and interest psychology, both ofwhich we began considering earlier.

. There are relatively few studies of theways in which people both alone and with others respond to exhibits (such aspictures and sculptures)

Although Oppenheimer’s educational model was complex andnonprescriptive, the basis of his approach to exhibits was compatible with that of Dewey,giving central importance to the role of direct experience of phenomena, and trying to presentthe learner with a problematic experience from which he/she could conduct genuine inquiry.It is also compatible with the Piagetian notion of disequilibration as a driver for learningthrough change of existing knowledge schemas

the article isconcerned with the ways in which people, in interaction with each other, boththose they are with and others who happen to be in the same space, reflexivelyconstitute the sense and significance of objects and artefacts, how theengagement with the artefact emerges in different ways for differentparticipants, and the ways in which those material features, and the ecologyin which they lie, reflexively inform the production and intelligibility ofconduct and interaction

Shearman powerfully demonstrates how the painters andsculptors of the High Renaissance were not only sensitive to the locationwhere the painting was sited, the placement of other artefacts in the localsetting and the likely positioning of the spectator, but also to the experience ofdifferent kinds of spectators as they approach the image and how throughengagement with the painting, familiarity and expectation, the spectator canunderstandthe ‘genealogy of the moment’.

happenings of a figured world

By "figured world," then, we mean a socially and culturally con-structed realm of interpretation in which particular characters and actors are recognized, significance is assigned to certain acts, and particular outcomes are valued over others. Each is a simplified world populated by a set of agents (in the world of romance: attractive women, boyfriends, lovers, fiances) who engage in a limited range of meaningful acts or changes of state (flirting with, falling in love with, dumping, having sex with) as moved by a specific set of forces (attractiveness, love, lust). 3

When AA members talk to outsiders who may be alcoholics in a one-to-one interaction, they are following the last of the Twelve Steps, "carrying the message to alcoholics who still suffer."

In contrast, to insist on starting with social practice, on taking participation to be the crucial process, and on including the social world at the core of the analysis only seems to eclipse the person. In reality, however, participation in social practice -subjective as well as objective -suggests a very explicit focus on the person, but as person-in-the-world, as member of a sociocultural community.

Or to put it the other way around, in a thoroughly historical theory of social practice, the historiciz-ing of the production of persons should lead to a focus on processes of learning.

As an aspect of social practice, learning involves the whole person; it implies not only a relation to specific activities, but a relation to social communities -it implies becoming a full participant, a member, a kind of person. In this view, learning only partly-and often incidentally-implies becoming able to be involved in new activities, to perform new tasks and functions, to master new understandings. Activities, tasks, functions, and understandings do not exist in isolation; they are part of broader systems of relations in which they have meaning. These systems of relations arise out of and are repro-duced and developed within social communities, which are in part systems of relations among persons. The person is defined by as well as defines these relations. Learning thus implies becoming a different person with respect to the possibilities enabled by these systems of relations.

Stories do not just describe a life in a learned genre, but are tools for reinterpreting the past, and understanding the self in terms of the A. A. iden-tity.
