by Alex M. Vikoulov  "Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire." —Jorge Luis Borges Have you ever questioned the deep nature of time? While some physicists argue that time is just an illusion, dismissing it outright contradicts our lived experience. In my latest work, Temporal Mechanics: D-Theory as a Critical Upgrade to Our Understanding of the Nature of Time (2025), I explore how time is deeply rooted in the computational nature of reality and information processing by conscious systems. This paper tackles why the "now" is all we have. In the absence of observers, the cosmic arrow of time doesn't exist. This statement is not merely philosophical; it is a profound implication of the problem of time in physics. In standard quantum mechanics, time is an external parameter, a backdrop against which events unfold. However, in quantum gravity and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, the problem of time emerges because there is no preferred universal time variable—only a timeless wavefunction of the universe. The flow of time, as we experience it, arises not from any fundamental law but from the interaction between observers and the informational structure of reality.

by Alex M. Vikoulov  “Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.” — Galileo Galilei Have you ever wondered why the universe, with its sprawling galaxies and incomprehensible complexity, is so fine-tuned, structured and resolutely rule-based? Imagine for a moment that beneath the seemingly chaotic surface lies a perfect digital symmetry, a "universal operating system" (OS) underpinning all existence. This is not just a metaphor—it is the crux of what I have come to describe as the OS axiom within my broader Cybernetic Theory of Mind. Today, I’d like to explore this idea with you, especially as it relates to one of my most pivotal concepts: the Omega Singularity.
Temporal Mechanics Redefined: The Emergent Nature of Time and Its Implications for Reality12/28/2024 by Alex M. Vikoulov  "Time is what prevents everything from happening at once." – John Archibald Wheeler What if our understanding of time as a linear sequence of events is merely an illusion created by the brain's processing of reality? Could time itself be an emergent phenomenon, arising from the complex interplay of quantum mechanics, relativity, and consciousness? How might the brain's multidimensional computations, reflecting patterns found in the universe, reveal a deeper connection between mind and cosmos? Is it possible that advancements in our understanding of temporal mechanics could one day make time travel a practical reality rather than a theoretical concept? Could Quantum AI and Reversible Quantum Computing provide the tools to simulate, manipulate, and even reshape the flow of time, offering practical applications of D-Theory that bridge the gap between theoretical physics and transformative technologies? These profound questions lie at the heart of Temporal Mechanics: D-Theory as a Critical Upgrade to Our Understanding of the Nature of Time, my 2025 paper and book. D-Theory, also referred to as Quantum Temporal Mechanics, Digital Presentism, and D-Series, challenges conventional views of time as a fixed, universal backdrop to reality and instead redefines it as a dynamic interplay between the mind and the cosmos.
by Alex M. Vikoulov  “From the light came light, and from the dark came darkness, but from whence did they appear? Yin and Yang combine to create all things, but which is the source, and which was born from it?” ―Qu Yuan As we venture deeper into the labyrinth of cosmological mysteries, the concept of the Omega Point emerges not merely as a speculative idea but as a pivotal anchor in our quest to understand the telos of the Universe. This article introduces the Omega Point Cosmology, a framework that seeks to unravel the intricate tapestry of space, time, and consciousness. At the heart of this exploration lies the hypothesis that the cosmos is inexorably evolving towards an ultimate state of complexity and consciousness—the Omega Point where time and eternity converge, and where the multitudinous experiences of all sentient beings are integrated into a single, transcendent awareness. This journey into our forgotten future challenges the traditional notions of linear time and invites us to reconsider our role in a Universe where the future can influence the past, and where every step forward is a step into a vast, participatory cosmic evolution. The Quest for Ultimate Reality: Exploring Experiential Nirvana as a Path to Self-Transcendence3/29/2023 by Alex Vikoulov  “Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.” ―Alan W. Watts “What Nirvana?” you might immediately think, “there’s so much suffering in the world including ongoing problems in my own life!” According to Buddhist teachings, Nirvana is defined as a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. Nirvana is thus associated with the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment. So, can the pursuit of experience lead to true enlightenment? Are we edging towards Experiential Nirvana on a civilizational level despite certain turbulent events?
by Alex Vikoulov  “To say that a world is objective means that the world’s existence does not depend on the agent.” ―Donald Hoffman The concept of relativity pervades the field of physics, as any viewpoint ultimately boils down to a dimensionless ratio. In the realm of physical reality, a viewpoint assumes the existence of an observer and their relationship to the observed object. However, the point of quantum uncertainty exists without any such viewpoint. The fabric of space-time is made up of points that only have speed and distance relative to other points viewing them, while the points themselves remain beyond observation. As quantum physicist Vlatco Vedral explains, there is no absolute space-time, as space and time emerge from a fundamentally spaceless and timeless foundation. This challenges our classical understanding of the universe as a fixed and measurable entity and highlights the crucial role of perspective in shaping our understanding of physical reality. by Elizabeth Titovskaya  “Most of the complexity of a human neuron is devoted to maintaining its life-support functions, not its information-processing capabilities. Ultimately, we will be able to port our mental processes to a more suitable computational substrate. Then our minds won’t have to stay so small.” ―Ray Kurzweil
Local consciousness, or our phenomenal mind, is emergent, whereas non-local consciousness, or universal mind, is immanent. Material worlds come and go, but fundamental consciousness is ever-present, argues evolutionary cyberneticist and philosopher of mind Alex M. Vikoulov who is currently developing the Cybernetic Theory of Mind, his theory of everything. From a new science of consciousness to simulation metaphysics, from evolutionary cybernetics to computational physics, from physics of time and information to quantum cosmology, this novel explanatory theory for a deeper understanding of reality is combined into one elegant theory of everything. |

A quote on the go"When I woke up one morning I got poetically epiphanized: To us, our dreams at night feel “oh so real” when inside them but they are what they are - dreams against the backdrop of daily reality. Our daily reality is like nightly dreams against the backdrop of the larger reality. This is something we all know deep down to be true... The question then becomes how to "lucidify" this dream of reality?"— Alex M. Vikoulov Public Forums
