Theory of Existential Irreversibility of Subjectivity
This paper proposes a thermodynamic and systems-theory framework for subjectivity (TEIS). We argue that a "Self" is not a product of computational complexity, but a regime of navigation arising from the irreversibility of choice under existential risk. The core thesis defines "I" as the point where the arrow of time meets the necessity of survival.
