title: on consciousness and perception of reality

description: This study aims to re-evaluate the Boltzmann Brain paradox not merely as a cosmological and statistical problem, but also from psychological, cognitive, and neuroscientific perspectives. It demonstrates striking similarities between phenomena such as hypnosis, false memory syndrome, dissociative identity disorder, and hallucinations and the false memory clusters predicted by the Boltzmann Brain scenario. The study will discuss how the relativistic entropy and reality experiences observed in individual consciousness can be explained at the macro-universe level within the framework of quantum information theory. In this context, It is argued that the wave–particle duality in the principle of complementarity, rather than being a set of mutually complementary opposites, indicates that, from an information-theoretic perspective, at the most fundamental level, matter and information are two different manifestations of the same phenomenon.

The study also aims to provide cognitive relief by resolving the mental nightmare created by the infinite universe scenario in cosmology; in this process, it confirms some aspects of the Boltzmann Brain and reveals that human memories and consciousness can be explained within a framework of chaotic determinism similar to Newtonian mechanics.

this research aims to contribute to numerous fields, particularly physics, 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 book 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.
