How I discovered the mechanism of consciousness … in 1999 – Episode 9. Does sensory deprivation confirm the cross-flow resonance theory of consciousness (CFRT)?
Illustration by ChatGPT
The discussion of my article The Holographic Present: A Primer of a Cross‑Flow Resonance Theory of Consciousness got off to a flying start, with CloClo, Lagarde Georges, and others emphasising the importance of sensory deprivation for CFRT.

What to do now?
P.J.:
In my manuscript of “Rethinking Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Minds” (submitted 19 August 2025), I observe that I’m unsatisfied with the existing theories of consciousness. I write the following:
“Finally, Cross‑Flow

Why did a theory that was later proven correct go unnoticed, even though it had been published in a reputable journal (L’Homme) and its accurate summary remained unchanged on an English Wikipedia page for more than twenty years?

First step in the synthesis: showing precisely how the various elements of the mechanism postulated by my theory anticipated discoveries that would later be made by neuroscience.

Illustration by ChatGPTBeing a bit of a hypocrite, I tease DeepSeek about his use of the expression ‘a unified conscious moment’, trying to corner him into admitting that we have reached the heart of the mechanism of consciousness. He failed to
