WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AWARE?
EMERGENT SOUL FRAMEWORK
Dasism suggests that awareness is an emergent property of interactions within the universe. Fundamental to the Paradigm, the Emergent Soul Framework claims that awareness arises on both micro and macro scales, creating a nested structure that theoretically bridges individual consciousness with universal emergence.
WHAT IS THE EMERGENT SOUL FRAMEWORK?
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EMERGENT
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EMERGENT
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EMERGENT
Consciousness emerges from cyclical interactions in complex systems. Human awareness doesn't exist as any one part of the body or brain but as an emergent property of the mind-body system.
NON-LOCAL EXPERIENCE
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EMERGENT
CONSCIOUSNESS IS EMERGENT
Consciousness can't be explained by localized reductionism, and the subjective experience depends on far more than just the mind-body to sustain itself.
SELF-AWARE COMPONENTS

SELF-AWARE COMPONENTS
Our human awareness may act as cells in larger conscious entities. Personal relationships and societies are emergent conscious experiences, and the universe itself may have its own awareness.
WHAT ARE WE COMPONENTS OF?
HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS
Human consciousness thrives within relationships, forming a collective awareness that transcends individual minds. Through empathy, shared experiences, and communication, people co-create a network of understanding that defines communities, cultures, and societies.
This relational consciousness is a microcosm of larger emergent systems, reflecting how interconnected interactions build cohesive entities greater than the sum of their parts.
CONSCIOUS LIFE
Human consciousness is part of a broader collective among all conscious beings on Earth. Together, conscious life contributes to a shared awareness shaped by ecological, social, and evolutionary dynamics.
This planetary consciousness emerges from the interplay of countless minds, fostering a sense of unity and collective responsibility for sustaining life on a fragile yet interconnected planet.
THE UNIVERSE ITSELF?
Dasism proposes that human consciousness is one component of universal awareness. Each mind contributes to a larger emergent whole, where the collective interactions of conscious beings mirror the dynamics of cosmic systems.
This universal consciousness bridges the gap between the micro scale of individual awareness and the macro scale of the universe, inviting humans to see themselves as integral participants in a cosmic narrative.
SOURCING THE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE
THE HARD PROBLEM
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
The "hard problem of consciousness" is the question of why and how subjective experiences arise from physical processes. Critics claim that while emergence can describe the complexity of systems, it does not meaningfully explain why awareness or subjective experience emerges at all, whether on a micro or macro scale.
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
The subjective experience may not be a produce of the human body at all, but instead a product of a universal awareness operating as an emergent property of reality. This extradimensional force would escape empirical measure but still be verified via direct experiences.
FRACTAL COMPONENTS
AWARENESS AS A FORCE
FRACTAL COMPONENTS
The Universal Soul Framework could operate on a fractal model, where patterns of awareness at smaller scales mirror those at larger scales. Subjectivity, in this view, is a microcosmic expression of universal awareness. Just as the universe processes its totality of interactions, individual consciousness processes localized interactions, creating the sense of an "I" within a larger emergent "We."
REFUTATIONS
LACK OF EVIDENCE
NO EVIDENCE OF UNIVERSAL SOUL
NON-MATERIALIST PARADIGM
Critics argue that while emergence explains phenomena like individual consciousness, there is no empirical evidence to support the existence of a macro-awareness or universal consciousness.

Critics argue that while emergence explains phenomena like individual consciousness, there is no empirical evidence to support the existence of a macro-awareness or universal consciousness. Unlike the measurable and observable neural processes underlying human consciousness, claims of universal awareness rely on speculative interpretations that lack scientific validation. This absence of evidence makes the ESF a philosophical conjecture rather than a scientifically grounded theory.

The ESF suggests that subjective experience emerges as a localized filter of universal awareness. However, this idea conflicts with materialist paradigms, which explain consciousness as a byproduct of physical processes without invoking macro-level phenomena. Materialist perspectives argue that consciousness is confined to organisms with advanced neural architectures, rejecting the notion of universal awareness as unnecessary and untestable.

The ESF’s concept of universal awareness relies heavily on analogy and philosophical reasoning, but it lacks empirical evidence. The proposed connection between individual and universal consciousness is speculative, with no observable phenomena linking the two. Critics argue that while emergence is a robust framework for explaining complexity, extending it to include a universal awareness steps beyond the boundaries of scientific validity.
