TABLE 1.

Axioms and conjectures of General Resonance Theory.

Axiom 1: All physical entities resonate (“the resonance axiom”)

Axiom 2: All physical entities have some accompanying subjectivity/consciousness (“the panpsychism axiom”)

Axiom 3: Resonating structures in proximity to each other will achieve a shared resonance if the coupling constant is reached or exceeded (“the coupling axiom”)

Conjecture 1: Shared resonance is what leads to the combination of micro-conscious entities into macro-conscious entities (“the shared resonance conjecture”)

Conjecture 2: The boundaries of a macro-conscious entity depend on the velocity and frequency of the resonance chains connecting its constituents (“the boundary conjecture”)

Conjecture 3: Any biological macro-conscious entity will have various levels of subsidiary/nested micro- and macro-conscious entities (“the nested consciousness conjecture”)
