Glossary
Working definitions for the core terminology used across this site. Each entry is a compact, operational definition — not a final philosophical commitment — and links to the page where the term is developed in context.
- IS — Intra-Synthesis Framework ↗
The working hypothesis that physical reality is a structured experience within a universal consciousness, with UAP as one class of anomalous phenomena consistent with that ontology.
- UCRC — Universal Consciousness as a Resonant Continuum ↗
Background field posited by the framework: a single conscious substrate whose excitations and resonances give rise to localised observers and to the appearance of physical law.
- Resonant plasmoid ↗
Self-organising plasma structure proposed as the physical-layer signature of certain UAP. Treated here as the interface between the ontological substrate and conventional electromagnetic observables.
- Recursive self-observation ↗
Process by which the universal substrate models itself through localised observers; the loop that generates a stable, lawful experiential world from within.
- Modified self-simulation ↗
Variant of Irwin's self-simulation hypothesis adopted here: the simulation is run by consciousness on itself, not by an external substrate, and is constrained by the resonance structure of the field.
- Perceptual injection ↗
Hypothesised mechanism by which coherent experiences (visual, auditory, somatic) can be introduced into one or more observers without a corresponding classical electromagnetic source. Central to Hypothesis 6.
- High strangeness ↗
Vallée and Davis's term for UAP reports whose content violates ordinary physical or causal expectations. Used here as one axis of the comparison matrix.
- Ontological layer ↗
The level at which claims are made about the fundamental nature of reality (consciousness, information, substrate) rather than about specific observable signatures.
- Physical layer ↗
The level at which UAP are described in conventional physics terms — kinematics, plasma physics, electromagnetism — that any candidate ontology must reproduce.
- Kinematic anomaly ↗
Motion (acceleration, velocity, lack of inertial signature) that exceeds the performance envelope of known aircraft and is not explained by sensor artefacts.
- Analytic idealism ↗
Bernardo Kastrup's position that the only ontological primitive is mind. Adopted here as the background metaphysics on which the IS framework is built.
- Hard problem of consciousness ↗
Chalmers's term for the explanatory gap between physical processes and subjective experience. Motivates the framework's refusal to treat consciousness as derivative.

Conscious realism and the Interface Theory of Perception. Argues spacetime is a species-specific user interface, not the underlying reality.

- Chalmers, D. J. (1995). Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness. Journal of Consciousness Studies, 2(3), 200–219. ↗
Canonical statement of the 'hard problem'. Establishes why a purely physicalist account of experience is incomplete.

Working paper on plasmoid and resonant-plasma models for the physical signatures associated with UAP. Cited under the framework's physical layer.

Six-layer model of UAP observation, anchoring the 'high strangeness' axis used in the comparison matrix.
