title: on consciousness and perception of reality

description: This study reassesses the Boltzmann Brain paradox not only as a cosmological and statistical problem, but also in its psychological, cognitive, and neuroscientific dimensions. It demonstrates that experiences of relative entropy and reality observed in individual consciousness—through phenomena such as hypnosis, false memory syndrome, dissociative identity disorder, and hallucinations—bear striking similarities to the false memory clusters postulated in the Boltzmann Brain scenario.

The study also aims to provide cognitive relief by resolving the mental nightmare created by the infinite universe scenario in cosmology; while doing so, it aims to validate certain aspects of the Boltzmann Brain and demonstrate that human memories and consciousness, when approached from the perspective of chaos theory with a deterministic interpretation similar to Newtonian mechanics, can be explained within the framework of unpredictable but fundamentally determined systems.

Beyond the concepts of relative entropy, chaos theory, and order, this research aims to contribute to numerous fields, particularly cognitive sciences and psychology, develop applications for artificial intelligence, and contribute to the physical foundations of these fields. In this context, we will examine possible determinism through the blending of the Boltzmann Brain with chaos theory, focusing on theories of timelessness, such as the block universe model of the nature of time and the Wheeler–DeWitt equation.

The central theme is why human behavior cannot be predicted by mathematical equations, raising salient questions such as, "Are we living in a state of collective hypnosis?" and "Are we in a controlled hallucination?" Furthermore, by examining our reality within the context of string theory, the holographic universe, and the Boltzmann Brain, it is emphasized that it is more reasonable to consider our reality not as an illusion but as an imperfect reality.

The article explores both the mechanisms by which artificial intelligence systems generate hallucinations and their application areas, as well as personalized treatment opportunities through the neurophysiological control of individuals' states of consciousness; It also offers new perspectives on advanced applications integrating hypnosis into medical practice through neuro-modulation-based clinical protocols and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications. Furthermore, various studies ranging from the Penfield and Libet experiments to the “mouse utopia” experiment, infantile amnesia, sensory deprivation experiments, and PPI studies will also be examined.

In this context, the study aims to offer a solution to the philosophical paradox created by the Boltzmann Brain; to contribute to many fields with a multidisciplinary approach; to shed light on the question “What is consciousness?” at the intersection of science and philosophy.
