A Universal Density × MA Model for Raw Qualia: On the Human Being as a Negentropy Engine

Title: A Universal Density × MA Model for Raw Qualia: On the Human Being as a Negentropy Abstract:This paper presents a simple, classical computational model for the emergence of raw qualia in a low-energy brain (~20 W). The Neural Primitive layer computes a single operator Q(t) = D_eff(t) × MA(t), where D_eff(t) is current input connection density and MA(t) is historical assembly depth tracked by a moving average. This multiplicative interaction generates a continuous phase gradient — the dynamic flow of subjective experience itself. The model operates entirely within classical neurobiology, requires no quantum coherence, and exhibits phenomenal scale invariance (Q′ = λ² Q). Empirical validation on 248 OpenNeuro subjects reveals a stable critical threshold Q_crit ≈ 0.312 (99.6% accuracy) that separates conscious and unconscious states, together with state-dependent shifts in the “thickness of the present moment” (α). A public live verification using Meta’s TRIBE v2 multimodal demo (March 27, 2026) and comparative simulation further confirmed the model’s distinctive non-linear dynamics and phenomenal continuity. The framework reframes the Hard Problem by demonstrating that raw qualia is the mathematically and thermodynamically unavoidable outcome of a local negentropy engine. All code, preprocessing pipelines, and validation scripts are openly available in the accompanying “DensityMA_Validation_Code” repository.
