by Alex M. Vikoulov  "Time is not a thing that exists and passes, but an act that we perform and a force that we exert." — Thomas Mann Time, as one of the most enigmatic aspects of human experience, has long been a subject of fascination and study across disciplines. From physicists grappling with the intricacies of spacetime to philosophers pondering its subjective nature, time continues to challenge our understanding. Yet, recent developments in neuroscience, quantum physics, and consciousness studies invite us to reconsider the very foundations of temporal mechanics. Instead of treating time as an immutable backdrop to reality, these insights suggest a far more dynamic and interconnected role for time, consciousness, and the fabric of the universe itself. This exploration of temporal mechanics through the lens of the D-Theory of Time seeks to unravel these connections and place consciousness at the heart of temporal reality.

by Alex M. Vikoulov  “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” ―Bill Keane The enigmatic nature of time has perplexed philosophers and physicists alike for centuries, presenting what is known as the "problem of time." This fundamental issue challenges our intuitions about time's true nature and its role in the fabric of reality. The problem of time arises from the apparent conflict between the static, unchanging equations of general relativity and the dynamic, evolving nature of quantum mechanics. Enter the D-Theory of Time, a revolutionary framework that seeks to reconcile these disparities by positing that time is an emergent phenomenon, arising from the computational processes that underlie our reality. By viewing time through the lens of digital presentism and qualia computing, the D-Theory of Time offers a novel perspective on the flow of temporal experience, suggesting that what we perceive as time is the result of conscious computation, transforming quantum potentialities into the digital actuality of the present instant.
by Alex M. Vikoulov  “In a sense, Nature has been continually computing the ‘next state’ of the Universe for billions of years; all we have to do — and actually all we can do — is ‘hitch a ride’ on this huge ongoing [quantum] computation.” —Tommaso Toffoli In the fascinating intersection of quantum computing and the human experience of time, lies a groundbreaking theory that challenges our conventional narratives: the D-Theory of Time. This theory proposes a revolutionary perspective on time not as fundamental but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the quantum mechanical fabric of the universe.
In my upcoming book with a working title Cybernetic Theory, the entire section is dedicated to the physics of time, where we discuss the D-Theory of Time, predicated or reversible quantum computing at large, which represents a novel framework that challenges our conventional understanding of time and computing. Here, we explore the foundational principles of the D-Theory of Time, its implications for reversible quantum computing, and how it could potentially revolutionize our approach to computing, information processing, and our understanding of the universe. by Alex Vikoulov  “Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes.” –Marianne Williamson Listen to this article ↴ In the intricate landscape of consciousness studies, an interdisciplinary confluence of scientific inquiry, philosophical speculation, and elements of techno-mysticism emerges. This exploration aims to challenge conventional paradigms and proffer a multifaceted examination of the nature of the conscious mind. Among the humongous spectrum of available first-person experiences, the act of selecting a singular manifest phenomenon for awareness yields what I call a Conscious Instant (CI). A sequence of these perceptual frames constitutes what is generally known as the "stream of consciousness," which creates your continuous flow of time and your unitary sensation of reality.

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. by Elizabeth Titovskaya  "Where there is no consciousness, there is no time.” ―Wayne Gerard Trotman
The only experiential time is NOW. Our phenomenal minds spring into existence at increments of conscious instants. The sequence of these Nows constitutes our "stream" of consciousness. D-Theory of Time, or Digital Presentism, is predicated on reversible quantum computing at large and gives us a coherent theoretical framework on the nature of time. In the absence of observers, the arrow of time doesn’t exist -- there’s no cosmic flow of time. Instead, each conscious observer is a digital pattern flowing within a multidimensional matrix. |

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
