This manuscript introduces a new framework for understanding consciousness as a property of living cells, suggesting implications for neuroscience.
This manuscript introduces the Cellular Architect Hypothesis of Consciousness (CAHC), a biologically grounded framework proposing that consciousness is a binary property of living cells and that glial synchronization generates the illusion of unified subjective experience. CAHC challenges reductionist assumptions in neuroscience, reframes emergence as a biologically driven process, and positions cellular agency as a central driver of evolutionary innovation. The manuscript outlines the biological rationale, mechanistic architecture, and testable predictions of CAHC.
