Analytic Idealism
From the public record
Proposed by: Bernardo Kastrup
Reality is mental at its foundation and brains are what dissociated mental processes look like from outside. Altered states thin the boundary.
Bernardo Kastrup argues that consciousness is the one thing we cannot coherently doubt, and that physics describes the behavior of mind at large rather than a world of standalone matter. Applied here, shared symbols would be structures of the wider mental field briefly seen from inside when the dissociative boundary loosens. The reading predicts overlap between deep states of different people, which is exactly the kind of claim a convergence registry can put under pressure.
