Time for a re-read in anticipation of the @QualiaRI retreat. Gotta get this old antifoundationalist epistemic engine running to play the resident Madhyamika.

Flying back to SF after a great week at the Lionheart Summit in Costa Rica* Innovation for consciousness research cannot wait! Starting May 4th QRI will be on a research retreat in Mexico. Second hand of June is a time where meeting me/us is realistic if you happen to be in Tepoztlán :-) * Where you're contractually obliged to respond "Pura Vida" to ambiguously high valence interactions.

I was nudged to apply the music theory of consciousness to magick and this week RENSEP published my essay on their website. Hugely influenced by @QualiaRI work on coupled oscillators! To all the keen Pythagorean Platonists, you can read it here: thingsiwasntsupposedtotalkabout.com/2026/04/17/rad…

Vocabulary update: At the Computational Neurophenomenology cabin workshop a number of participants made the very strong case that a system's experience should be called its phenomenality rather than its phenomenology. Phenomenology, etymologically speaking, refers to the study of phenomena, so it is misaligned to use it for an individual experience rather than the discipline that studies such experiences. I agree. It may take time to adapt, but I like the idea of pointing to an individual system’s experience as its instantaneous phenomenality. Namely, just as we say a system has mass, charge, or conductivity, we can say it has a certain phenomenality. Grammatically, phenomenality is an abstract mass noun formed with the suffix “-ity,” which denotes a property or quality instantiated by a system. Phenomenological is the corresponding adjective, and phenomenology is a discipline noun like biology or psychology. So phenomenality names what a system has, a property in the same grammatical category as other measurable or describable qualities. Thank you for your attention on this matter Andrés :-)

I encourage people to enter this competition and create more jhana (meditation) replications! When I first created my animation of the Jhanas last year, I wanted it to inspire a wave of teaching meditation through visualisations. Good going QRI for putting this on!

Do your part to mainstream the Jhanas by submitting an entry into the 2026 Jhana Visualization Competition! Submit your replications of these beautiful states of consciousness for science and a chance to win $1000!

fwiw: I don't think 'mindfulness' will be the default meditation entry point in five years' time. Jhanas are absurdly more compelling + beneficial for almost everyone (training emotional fluidity, embodiment + unclenching) But I also doubt jhana will go mainstream unless it goes through something of a re-brand. (friends outside of the inner-work echo chamber squint when I say the word and I think 'jh' is unfortunately a barrier) My guess is it will follow a similar trajectory to yoga nidra which @hubermanlab rebranded as NSDR, and it then exploded in popularity Likely there will be some meaningful research on jhanas states → they'll create a scientific technical-sounding acronym like 'BASE' (Bliss Attractor State Emergence), and @jhanatech by then will hopefully have cracked an accessible entry point for teaching jhana-access.

And that's a wrap :-) The live portion just aired. We also recorded for another hour in a more relaxed fashion and that podcast will be out once polished. @newtonlaw and Guy Sengstuck (of Circling fame) were excellent interviewers. Mom I'm on the radio! :D 🙏🌟
