Hoffman — Interface Theory / Conscious Realism (External)
Why it matters (for Theophysics)
- Adds a rigorous anti-naive-realism argument: perception tracks fitness, not truth.
- Provides a formal “conscious agent” object that could map to your agent/operator layer.
- Definition: Conscious Agent as a 6-tuple (experiences/actions + Markov kernels)
- Claim: Fitness-Beats-Truth theorem (FBT)
- Claim: spacetime-as-interface (“desktop metaphor”) as an interpretation
Integration candidates (later)
- Likely canonical home:
02_Definitions/ for “Conscious Agent” + 03_Lemmas/ or 04_Causal_Chains/ for the evolutionary argument.
Conflicts / flags
- Epistemic self-defeat objection (Plantinga-style) should be captured as an
OBJECTION note if adopted.
