The Ātma-Wave Life Cycle Framework: Bridging Vedāntic Metaphysics, Modern Physics, and State Transitions of Consciousness

Abstract

Purpose: To develop a conceptual framework that integrates classical Indian metaphysics (Vedanta) with modern physics (Wave-Particle Duality) and digital/post-biological existence, utilizing high-level cognitive research skills: Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation, Interpretation, and Synthesis. This ground breaking research provides a Conceptual Framework Integrating Indian Philosophy (Dvaita & Advaita), Consciousness Studies, Physics, and Digital Reality.

Methodology: Exploratory research analysis with conceptual, comparative, interpretive, analytical, and synthetic proposals.

Proposed theoretical model: The study proposes the "Ātma-Wave Life Cycle" conceptual framework, integrating Dvaita, Advaita, consciousness studies, modern physics, and digital reality into a unified interdisciplinary model. It further introduces the Atma-Wave and Critical Frequency hypotheses as conceptual bridges for exploring consciousness without presenting them as established scientific theories.

Key findings: The study argues that Dvaita and Advaita are complementary rather than competing philosophies, representing embodied dualistic existence and liberated non-dual consciousness, respectively. It also demonstrates that contemporary concepts from consciousness studies, physics, and virtual reality can be used as conceptual analogies to stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue on reality and consciousness.

Originality/Novelty: The article presents a novel interdisciplinary conceptual framework that unifies Indian philosophy, consciousness studies, physics, and digital reality within a single explanatory model. It is among the first to reinterpret Dvaita and Advaita as sequential ontological states while proposing conceptual hypotheses linking Ātman, wave behaviour, and liberation.

Practical Implications: The proposed framework provides a foundation for future interdisciplinary research in consciousness studies, philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and Indian Knowledge Systems. It may also inspire the development of new conceptual and computational models for investigating consciousness while maintaining a clear distinction between philosophical hypotheses and empirically established science.
