Prima Experientia
Introduction
The ontology postulates a reduction base by which it can explain how an image of the external world is created and experienced. This panexperiential reduction base explains and formulates which psycho-physical laws are involved (f.e.; Gibson’s invariance laws, optical flow fields, etc.) that explain the generation and perception of a holographic image of external events and happenings in the mind.
In this ontology of consciousness, the reduction base is called “Prima Experientia” and the underlying crucial psycho-physical laws were first formulated by the late psychologist James Gibson and his work on the nature and psycho-physical mechanisms of visual perception. The Philosophy of Mind of Henri Bergson also plays a fundamental role in this theory of Prima Experientia and the panexperiential reduction with the ultimate metaphysical goal of solving the “Hard Problem of Consciousness” (Chalmers, 1995).
