The Recursive Mind-universe Hierarchy Framework (rmuhf)

Type: preprint
Abstract: The Recursive Mind-Universe Hierarchy Framework (RMUHF) is a conditional mathematical and metaphysical proposal for investigating whether systems modeled as mind-universe analogues can be organized into recursively higher-order systems. Its primary case begins with individual human brains, considers the aggregate of human minds on Earth, introduces a hypothetical Super-Mind that contains or represents this aggregate, and then extends the construction to Super-Super-Minds and subsequent meta-levels.The framework preserves a distinction between physical containment, informational embedding, and conceptual analogy. Its default mechanism, the Boundary-Conditioned Recursive Aggregation Mechanism (BCRAM), is supplemented by the Super-Entity Recursive Embedding Mechanism (SREM) and the Super-Entity Multiplicity Postulate (SEMP). These definitions support two mathematically separate branches: a finite hierarchy with a specified termination rule, and an unbounded hierarchy in which the successor rule remains defined at every finite index.For an illustrative binary aggregation model with P=8,000,000,000 base units, the number of transitions required to produce one root is \lceil log_{2}P\rceil=33 A distinct multiplicity model can generate a countably infinite sequence of levels, but only under its stipulated replication and embedding assumptions. Neither calculation establishes the physical existence of Super-Minds or an actual infinite hierarchy. The framework therefore separates formal derivation, observational measurement, and metaphysical interpretation and specifies a research program involving prior-art review, operational definitions, model comparison, reproducible simulation, counterexamples, and empirical validation.
