IS draws from, and stands in dialogue with, several lines of contemporary work on consciousness and physics.

• Bernardo Kastrup, Analytic Idealism

  Mind-only ontology defended in analytic philosophical terms; reality as the appearance of a single underlying consciousness.

• Donald Hoffman, Conscious Realism & Interface Theory

  Spacetime and physical objects as a species-specific user interface; conscious agents as fundamental.

• Klee Irwin, Self-Simulation Hypothesis

  Reality as a self-referential, self-rendering code-theoretic process generated from within, not externally simulated.

• Robert Lanza, Biocentric Universe Theory

  Biology and observation as constitutive of the physical world rather than incidental to it.

• Tobie Venne, Unified Classical Resonance Cosmology (UCRC)

  Scale-invariant, wave-mechanical cosmology used as the physical layer within IS; resonant plasmoids as a candidate for many UAP manifestations.

• Panpsychism, relations and differences

  Shares the move to treat consciousness as fundamental, but IS differs by being explicitly self-simulating and integrated with a classical physical layer.
