Hello everyone 🌿

I’m applying to the Foresight Institute — AI for Science program, and I need one neutral reference contact (full name and email) — not a recommendation, not a letter, and no endorsement of the content.

The role is minimal: If the committee decides to reach out (most likely they won’t), they may ask only:

whether you have seen or read the work;

whether the application appears serious.

I am developing an interdisciplinary model called ICT (Information–Consciousness–Temporality).

At the core of the model: — dI/dT as a formal dynamic of consciousness, — I_fixed as a model of material fixation of informational states.

Discussion and preprint: https://www.academia.edu/s/8924eff666

DOI: https://zenodo.org/records/17584783 Docx format

If any researchers here are willing to serve as such a neutral contact, I would be very grateful. It requires zero time from you other than possibly confirming briefly by email.

Thank you to everyone who responds.

Thanks for the critique — fair points. A few clarifications directly based on the ICT Model v1.1 (the version linked in the post):

  1. About “consciousness” as a red flag

In the paper “consciousness” is used operationally, not philosophically.

ICT defines it strictly as:

C ∝ dI/dT — rate of informational change over time (Section 1.1, Eq. 2)

No metaphysics, no claims about qualia — only measurable information dynamics (entropy-rate, LZ-complexity rate, update-energy).

  1. What field the work belongs to

Also clarified in v1.1: ICT sits at the intersection of:

information physics,

thermodynamics of computation,

temporal dynamics,

neuroscience of information processing.

(Sections 1.1, 2, and Correspondence Table)

The model does not present itself as philosophy of mind.

  1. Background / prior work

v1.1 explicitly connects the framework to:

Landauer limit,

Bekenstein bounds,

Friston’s free-energy principle,

algorithmic complexity measures,

temporal stability / phase structure.

(All referenced in Sections 1.1–2)

  1. Falsifiable predictions

The paper includes three concrete experiments (Section 8) designed for empirical testing:

  1. Neuroenergetic test of dI/dT

  2. Structure-without-energy input experiment

  3. Cross-substrate information-fixation thresholds

All with operational variables, not philosophical language.

  1. Summary

Your comment is useful — especially about clearly signaling the disciplinary context. But everything I’ve referenced above is directly in the v1.1 preprint and defines ICT as a physical/informational model, not a metaphysical one.

Happy to refine further if needed.
