Sensoria Research Philosophy
The philosophical framework behind Sensoria's approach to consciousness research, state engineering, and neurophenomenological infrastructure.
Psychonautic Benchmarking: Towards Standardized Expertise Criteria in Non-Ordinary States Research
Meditation research classifies expert practitioners, while psychoactive research only screens for safety. This paper proposes a multidimensional framework for benchmarking psychonaut expertise and introduces two instruments offered for collaborative development: the GPCA competency assessment and the PPIA typological profile. Neither is validated yet; the paper specifies the validation each requires.
The Sovereign Data Research Fabric
Technical architecture: the encrypted vault model, confidential compute, and dynamic consent for sensitive consciousness research data.
Why Sensoria I: Existential Risk, State Engineering, and the Black Sheep Problem
A conversation with co-founder Cody Gibbons on the motivations for founding Sensoria and what decentralized consciousness science should lead to in the world.
Why Sensoria II: In Defense of Mapping Consciousness
The Galilean case for mapping the mind. Why we need maps of consciousness the way we needed maps of the world.
Why Sensoria III: The Promise of What Events Can Be
How far events fall from what they could be, what they once were, and how combining ancient meaning-making with modern inference points toward a revival without the dogma.
