This theoretical framework defines consciousness as fundamental indefiniteness, suggesting new understanding of reality.
This paper proposes a new ontological framework for consciousness, challenging the materialist reductionist paradigm. It defines consciousness not as an emergent property of matter, but as the manifestation of an underlying state of "Fundamental Indefiniteness." By equating the nature of the self with the universal wave function, the author presents a model where reality is a system of infinite potentiality—simultaneously "Everything," "Nothing," and their infinite shades—where consciousness acts as the operator that facilitates the transition from pure possibility to defined experience.
