Similarity Theory connects consciousness, matter, and reality through recursive patterns. This philosophical framework bridges cosmology, metaphysics, and systems thinking, offering insights into the evolution of awareness and the hidden symmetries that unite all aspects of existence across time and dimensions. FAQ

🔎 Similarity Theory is a unified cosmological framework exploring how consciousness, time, and dimensional structure relate as repeating patterns across reality.

It offers a pluralist view of consciousness, allowing individual centres of awareness to form collectives and later separate without losing individuality — while avoiding both monism (a single ultimate mind) and rigid dualism (a permanent split between mind and matter).

In short: reality is structured, relational, and layered — not reducible to a single substance or principle.

Exploring Consciousness Through Similarity Theory

Discover the philosophical framework of Similarity Theory, which examines how consciousness, matter, and reality unfold through Frames of Time — where existence moves between active awareness and enduring states, and nothing that comes into being is ever truly lost.

Through this lens, reality is not defined by beginnings and endings, but by transitions between motion and persistence, forming a layered continuum across time and dimensions.

🧠 Consciousness: The First Mover

All structure, time, and form arise from a single first act: awareness becoming present. Before matter, motion, or law, consciousness established the conditions through which reality could exist, unfold, and be known. Nothing precedes it, and nothing escapes its reach.

🪞 Emptiness Was Not Nothing

The mysterious bang at the origin of our universe can be understood not as chaos, but as a fusion of recognition — a supernova of consciousness becoming aware of itself. Explore how manifested awareness gave rise to structure, memory, and matter, and why nothing that exists is ever truly lost.
