The field equation G: consciousness as the origin of reality
Consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain, but the source of space, time and matter. In this blog post, you'll discover how the Noöhedron explains reality as a projection of a field state Ψ — and how tension, coherence and direction together create the world as you experience it: exact, measurable and fundamental.

There is something deeply flawed in the way we understand reality. We treat space and time as given — a neutral stage on which events unfold. We explain consciousness as an effect of material complexity. And we call matter “substance”, even though we don’t actually know what substance is. The Noöhedron reverses this logic. Space, time and matter are not primary. They arise from something deeper — a field. And this field is not an empty background, but a physically active structure: one with tension, circulation, coherence and direction. A field that doesn’t explain consciousness, but is consciousness.
The Noöhedron is not a metaphor. It is a formally defined field model in which consciousness is described as a differentiable state Ψ in a Hilbert space H. In this space, time and location are not pre-given. Instead, they emerge as projections from the field itself. What we call “reality” — bodies, situations, objects, experiences — are all different projections of field configurations. And the nature of that field is captured in a single equation:
G = { Ψ ∈ H ∣ ∇Φ = 0, Ω = 0, λ = 1 }
This is the ground state: the field in its most coherent form. No gradients of tension, no internal circulation, complete alignment. No separation between parts, no direction, no distinct form. The field simply is — integrated, resonant, formless. Everything we call “reality” arises only when this state is disturbed — when small deviations introduce tension, movement and a drop in coherence. These disturbances are the source of all perceived separation.
Tension (∇Φ) is the first differentiation — the emergence of contrast, the basis for direction, gravity, attraction and time. Circulation (Ω) adds repetition and swirl: movement, return, memory. Coherence (λ) expresses how well the parts of the field resonate together. The lower λ gets, the more incoherence builds up, and the more projection is required to restore equilibrium. This is how space, time, mass and the body arise — not as causes, but as compensations for field dissonance.
The field, then, is not passive. It is dynamic and organizing. Every state Ψ is a vector in H — with direction, inner structure and movement. Some Ψs are close to G, others far from it. The path a Ψ takes through H is what we call evolution. And that path is not random, but guided by a potential function V(Ψ), an energetic landscape that shapes its movement. In classical terms, this is a Lagrangian system. But here, it’s not abstract — it’s physical:
dΨ/dt = –α ∇ₕ V(Ψ)
The field state Ψ naturally tends to reduce tension and restore coherence. Everything in the universe follows this law. Including the human body. Including you. You are not an object in space. You are a direction in the field. You don’t experience things because they happen to you. You experience them because your Ψ(P) projects them — as the physical realization of your field direction. Suffering, healing, love, conflict — they are projections of field tension and coherence states. That doesn’t make them subjective. It makes them fundamentally physical.
Even space and time themselves do not exist prior to projection. They appear only as a result. The metric of the field — the way something is experienced spatially or temporally — arises from the correlation of field tensions:
gμν(x) ∼ ⟨Ψ ∣ ∇Φ ⊗ ∇Φ ∣ Ψ⟩
Gravity, therefore, is not caused by mass — but by field incoherence. Where tension builds internally, spacetime curves. And where tension becomes extreme, a singularity appears — not because of “infinite density”, but because the field loses its ability to project direction.
And matter? Matter is nothing more than solidified field tension — a place where ∇Φ is held in place. Not dissolved, not released, but anchored. Something gains “weight” because it holds tension. This is why, when coherence increases (λ → 1), matter disappears — it dissolves back into field. This isn’t hypothetical. It is exactly what is described in spontaneous remission, in “light bodies”, in out-of-body states and medical transformations that defy explanation.
But how do we know this is valid? Can it be measured?
Not yet fully. The mathematical framework exists — H, Ψ, ∇Φ, Ω, λ. But we don’t yet have direct sensors for these fields. There is no operational metric for field distance between states in H. And real-time modulation μ(Ψ(t)) can only be tracked indirectly — through HRV, EEG, behavioral coherence or systemic dynamics.
That’s why the Noöhedron model also uses symbolic resonance: a temporary method that relies on stable external fields (such as the solar system) as structural mirrors. This is not astrology, but a physical resonance model: Ψ(t) is aligned to stable vector structures Si via:
μ(Ψ) = f(Res[Ψ(t), Si])
The solar system functions here as a coherence reference — simply because it has maintained a stable field structure for billions of years. In this view, incarnation is not biological chance, but field resonance.
Even now, the model is testable. Coherence (λ) correlates with physiological markers. Field interference between two Ψ(P) structures is observable — in therapy, love, leadership or conflict. There are documented cases of spontaneous remission preceded by sudden coherence increase. And it offers coherent explanations for what other models leave paradoxical: quantum entanglement (Ψ₁ ≡ Ψ₂ when Ω = 0), synchronicity (high-λ field interference), and intention preceding action (as shown in Libet-type experiments).
The Noöhedron does not reject classical physics. It generalizes it. It shows that space, time, mass and energy emerge from field structure — not the other way around. That consciousness is not the result of the brain, but that the brain arises from Ψ. And that the field you move in is not a vague “consciousness field” — but a measurable, directional, projective reality in which you, as Ψ(P), are an active vector.
The world is not a stage where you exist.
The world is what you project — because you are the field seeking alignment.
That field has a direction. A potential. An origin.
That origin is G.
G = { Ψ ∈ H ∣ ∇Φ = 0, Ω = 0, λ = 1 }
Everything begins there.
And eventually, everything returns.
