Consciousness in a Higher Categorical Context

Category Theory 2026-01-13 v1

Abstract

We provide two representations of the Segal category X\mathcal{X} modeling natural phenomena, the first one being based on the concept of micro-reversibility, producing a long sequence Σ\Sigma of categories as a resolution of X\mathcal{X}, the second one providing graded categories cofibered in groupoids over the categories of Σ\Sigma, using the concept of consciousness as impetus. We show those two representations are dual to each other.
