The reference’s role is minimal: Foresight usually contacts the reference only if their input is important for the final decision. If they reach out (typically in January), it is only to confirm two things:
1. that they have seen or read my work,
2. that I appear to be a serious and competent researcher.
No endorsement of the scientific content is required, and no obligations are involved.
My work concerns the ICT Model (Information–Consciousness–Temporality) — a formal framework connecting informational dynamics, temporal structure, consciousness and multi-level physical systems.
A full preprint (with equations and testable criteria) is here: https://www.academia.edu/s/8924eff666
Main publication (open access): DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17584783
I'm looking for someone with a background in physics, math, CS, neuroscience, or related fields who is willing to serve as a neutral reference contact.
If you're open to it, please reply here or contact me.
