The Conscious Misplacement Theory (CMT): A Transceiver Model of Non-Local Consciousness and the Mechanics of Existential Interference

The "Hard Problem of Consciousness"—the question of why physical matter gives rise to subjective experience—remains unsolved by modern materialist neuroscience. This paper proposes the Conscious Misplacement Theory (CMT) as a functional solution. CMT posits that consciousness is not generated by the brain, but is a non-local, fundamental signal (The Source) and that the brain functions as a biological transceiver (The Antenna). By redefining biological survival as Signal Interference (The Storm), CMT explains why humans experience a unique sense of existential "misplacement" and provides a testable framework for tracing the origin of the conscious signal back to its universal headquarters.
