Abstract

This paper hypothesizes a theoretical framework for comprehending human awareness not just as a processor of outside reality but also as an ontological engine able to create and negotiate "meta-universes. " Built inside, a meta-universe is a higher-order conceptual space housing and integrating an infinite spectrum of possible realities, memories, and theoretical systems. The mind's own ability to combine these diverse conceptual worlds—including logic, emotion, narrative, and mathematics—into coherent, new creations is known as "melding infinities. " Building on ideas from cognitive neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and theoretical physics, this article contends that the human mind's ability for abstraction, counterfactual reasoning, and self-consciousness gives it a creative power that actively forms and defines reality. Looking at the human intellect as a system that creates worlds of its own rather than just notices one, this study recontextualizes its potential.
