traveling waves in phenomenal field

Waves propagating in subjective fields that construct the sense of space via time delays, analogous to Huygens principle.

Claims (1)

claim

Subjective sense of space emerges from broadcast time delays between points in the phenomenal field, with evidence from jhana phenomenology where space 'coagulates' from reflectivity.
extends
Speculative model combining traveling waves with meditation reports; posits echolocation-like mechanism.

Concepts (2)

concept

Huygens principle
associated_with
Physical principle used to model tracer effect and traveling wave construction of space in consciousness.
jhanas
associated_with
Meditative absorption states; the transition from 6th to 5th jhana is said to introduce reflectivity and space from traveling waves.
