Panpsychism
Panpsychism is the view that consciousness, mind, or soul is a universal and primordial feature of all things. This view suggests that everything has a mental aspect.
I. Time
| Extent | Infinite |
| Ontological Status | Emergent |
| Grain | Continuous |
| Freedom | Non-Deterministic |
| Traversability | Linear |
| Dimensionality | One |
| Direction | Uni-directional |
Time is emergent — it arises from the experiential processes that pervade all of reality. Since mind is universal, temporal experience is not confined to human consciousness but extends to all entities. Time is continuous, linear, and uni-directional, reflecting the universal process of experience. Its extent is infinite because experiential reality has no temporal boundary.
II. Space
| Extent | Finite |
| Ontological Status | Emergent |
| Curvature | Flat |
| Dimensionality | Three |
| Locality | Local |
Space is emergent — it is the medium through which experiential entities relate to one another. It is flat, finite, local, and three-dimensional in its macro-level structure, but at every point in space there exists some degree of experiential quality. Space is thus "filled" with mind in a way that pure materialism does not allow.
III. Matter
| Extent | Finite |
| Ontological Status | Emergent |
| Conservation | Conserved |
| Dimensionality | Three |
| Locality | Local |
Matter is emergent — it is the exterior aspect of something that has an interior, experiential aspect. Every material entity, from electrons to brains, possesses some form of proto-consciousness or experience. Matter is conserved and local, but its intrinsic nature is mental rather than purely physical. The "hard problem" of consciousness dissolves because consciousness is a fundamental feature of all matter.
IV. Observer
| Time Instance | Multiple |
| Space Instance | Multiple |
| Extent of Knowledge | Total |
| Retainment of Knowledge | Total |
| Physicality | Embodied |
| Agency | Active |
| Number | Plural |
V. Energy
Energy is emergent — it characterizes the dynamical relations among experiential entities. Conservation holds as a feature of the physical description, but the intrinsic nature of energy is experiential. Dispersibility is irreversible in the physical description, though the experiential character of energy transformations may have dimensions that physics alone cannot capture.
VI. Information
Information is intrinsic to all matter — integrated information theory identifies consciousness with integrated information. Every physical system carries some information and some degree of experience.
