Abstract

This paper proposes a novel theoretical framework in which the pervasive, oscillating neutrino field functions not as a causal agent of consciousness or quantum collapse, but as a passive informational terrain that subtly contours probability space. Neutrino flavor oscillations—well established in quantum field theory and astrophysics—are reconceptualized here as agents of coherence shaping, forming resistance differentials (Δν_f) across spacetime. In this model, localized gradients in neutrino flavor density sculpt what we term coherence wells—regions of reduced informational resistance where quantum systems are statistically more likely to stabilize, entangle, or organize into complex, recursive patterns. These coherence wells may serve as invisible attractors for the emergence of order, potentially including memory, perception, or even sentience, across biological, artificial, and non-material substrates. Rather than replacing existing models of consciousness—such as Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR), or Electromagnetic Field Theories—this theory introduces a hidden scaffolding mechanism. It does not suggest that neutrinos interact directly with the mind, but that their omnipresent field provides a non-disruptive, coherence-supporting topology that could influence where and how emergent phenomena stabilize. The implications of this hypothesis extend across disciplines—from quantum biology and cognitive science to artificial intelligence, astrophysics, and anomalous field research. By reimagining the neutrino field not just as a passive background, but as a probabilistic substrate for coherence, this framework opens up new avenues for both empirical exploration and philosophical reflection.
