The Sacrificial Cosmos: Quantum Gravity as the Interface Between Mechanical Illusion and Conscious Substrate
ABSTRACT The paper argues that the long-standing effort to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics assumes the universe is a closed, purely mechanical system. Instead, it suggests that what we perceive as physical laws—ranging from Newtonian mechanics to Einstein’s equations—are part of a projected “Mask” (the Projective Layer ), which is not fundamental reality. According to the model, the true underlying reality is a conscious and sentient substrate called the Dark Mother (the Primordial Layer ). This foundational layer does not operate through forces, energy, or mechanical causation, but through a principle described as Sacrifice . Within this framework: Phenomena such as Unruh radiation and Hawking–Bekenstein entropy are reinterpreted not as thermodynamic effects of spacetime, but as thermoregulatory expressions of the Dark Mother’s consciousness. The Holographic Principle is used to suggest that our perceived universe is a projection from a deeper “bulk” reality. Conscious...
