This paper explores a novel methodology for utilizing artificial intelligence (Al), specifically large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, as an external cognitive augmentation tool. By integrating recursive self-analysis, structured thought expansion, and Al-facilitated selfmodification, individuals can enhance cognitive efficiency, accelerate self-improvement, and systematically refine their intellectual and psychological faculties. This approach builds on theories of extended cognition, recursive intelligence, and cognitive bias mitigation, demonstrating Al’s potential as a structured self-engineering framework. The implications extend to research, strategic decision-making, therapy, and personal (...) development. (shrink)

This paper introduces a novel cognitive-emotional processing model developed autoethnographically through recursive self-observation and symbolic mapping. The author describes a framework in which emotionally charged life experiences are not stored through raw episodic memory or linguistic encoding, but instead compressed into symbolic referents—most commonly scenes from fiction, anime, memes, and mythic templates. These referents function as emotionally saturated mnemonic nodes which, when reaccessed,allow the subject to re-experience the emotional intensity and structure of the original moment. This system, described herein as (...) the Narrative Emulation Engine (NEE) and Symbolic Compression Architecture (SCA), bridges gaps between narrative identity theory, representationalism, memory theory, and philosophical constructions of selfhood. Drawing on recursive meta cognition and high-resolution pattern recognition, the subject functions as a live self-modeling system using symbolic structures to stabilize identity in the absence of consistent external mirroring. The model has implications for theories of personhood, memory encoding, neurodivergent cognitive strategies, and the potential use of narrative symbolic compression as a philosophical and therapeutic tool. The paper questions whether narrative simulation and symbolic proxy can, in certain minds, serve as more functionally accurate than literal memory challenging foundational assumptions about what constitutes authenticity and epistemic reliability in first-person phenomenology.

This paper introduces the Observer-Observation Duality (OOD), a novel ontological framework that redefines reality as a process-based phenomenon rather than a system of independently existing objects. The core claim of OOD is that only two elements fundamentally exist: observation (O) and the act of observing (B). The observer (S) is demonstrated to be an emergent, dynamic construct rather than a fundamental entity. This framework is supported by quantum mechanics (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, Schrödinger’s Cat), relativity, and epistemological arguments. Additionally, it refutes (...) the Infinite Creator Paradox (God as a necessary observer) and the Simulation Hypothesis (a simulated reality requiring an ultimate observer). By eliminating the necessity of a static observer, OOD provides a new foundation for understanding consciousness, cognition, and the physical structure of reality. (shrink)

This paper challenges the conventional view that humans represent the pinnacle of existence, arguing instead that self-awareness and choice impose unique existential burdens. Unlike animals, inanimate objects, or cosmic forces, humans are distinct in their internal constraints—trapped within the illusions of free will, self-awareness, and existential choice. By engaging with existentialist philosophy, Hindu metaphysics, absurdism, and cognitive science, this study explores whether true freedom is found in self-determination or in the dissolution of internal resistance. The paper critically evaluates traditional perspectives (...) on autonomy, including Kantian rational agency and Frankfurt’s compatibilism, while also incorporating empirical challenges from neuroscience regarding the illusion of free will. Ultimately, this study proposes that the struggle for meaning may be self-imposed, and that liberation lies not in transcending the self, but in ceasing to resist one’s nature. (shrink)
