Is Consciousness Fundamental? Interfaces of Reality & Mathematizing Phenomenology

Can phenomenology, the study of lived experience, be rigorously formalized in mathematics without losing its essence?

In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, I speak with Professor Robert Prentner, a philosopher and interdisciplinary scientist exploring the intersections of consciousness, AI, phenomenology, and mathematics. Prentner develops the Interface Consciousness Lab, where concepts from category theory, topology, and networks are used to model experience, while also testing these ideas through AI systems and artificial phenomenology. His work bridges philosophy and computation, reimagining how agents construct reality.
