Ontology and Teleology of Emergent Flow Theory (TFE): A Panpsychic View of Existence

Abstract

The Emergent Flow Theory (EFT) is presented as an integrative proposal that articulates the foundations of quantum physics, neuroscience and philosophy of mind to address the phenomenon of consciousness from an inverse emergent panpsychic vision. Faced with the limitations of reductionist materialism and unfalsifiable idealism, EFT postulates that consciousness is not an exclusive property of the human brain, but a hierarchical flow of informational integration that emerges from the subatomic levels to complex neural structures. Ontologically, existence is understood as a process of informational concrescence that regulates the interaction between energy and matter, while its teleology points to the progressive integration into organized structures, culminating in subjective experience. This model is based on contemporary scientific frameworks such as Friston's free energy principle, Kauffman's quantum consciousness, Levin's bioelectrical intelligence, and the postulates of graph theory and quantum computing. Unlike previous models, such as integrated information theory or orchestrated reduction, the TFE proposes a testable paradigm that can be validated by graph architecture, biomimetic simulations and hierarchical neuroinformatics analysis. Thus, he proposes a profound reformulation of the binding problem and the mind-body problem, providing a robust explanatory framework to understand the emergence of consciousness. This research opens a promising path for an informational ontology that allows us to understand reality and experience from a holistic, falsifiable and scientifically sustainable perspective, configuring a new epistemological horizon for the study of the mind and nature.
