Modeling non-dual awareness via constraint closure: a reinterpretation of groundlessness
Abstract. Non-dual awareness (NDA) refers to a shift in consciousness in which the usual distinction between subject and object dissolves, and experience i

Excited to share my paper on an enactivist account of non-dual awareness, integrating ideas from constraint causality and Nāgārjuna’s notion of emptiness!
