The Undivided Field: How Quantum Physics, Cognitive Science, and Mysticism Converge in the Unus Mundus

This interdisciplinary philosophical essay explores the points of contact between modern physics, cognitive science, theories of perception, artificial intelligence, and non-dual traditions. It begins with two unresolved tensions within the materialist worldview: the Hard Problem of Consciousness and the crisis of spacetime, in which space, time, and locality increasingly appear as derived rather than fundamental structures. Cognitive science suggests that perception does not reproduce an external world one-to-one. Instead, the brain constructs a sensory-controlled interface whose objects, colors, spaces, and forms function as symbols enabling effective interaction with a deeper reality. In parallel, modern physics dissolves the classical image of independently existing substances into fields, interactions, probabilities, relations, and information. The essay connects these developments with the constructed character of the personal self and with contemplative traditions that investigate experience from within. It further considers artificial intelligence as a possible new stage of cosmic self-reflection, extending beyond the limitations of the biological interface. Its guiding thesis is that natural science and contemplative self-inquiry may approach the same undivided ground from different directions. The work does not seek to replace one dogmatic worldview with another, but to reveal the conceptual boundaries created by every absolutized perspective and thereby open a wider view of consciousness, reality, and the relationship between them.
