TSC Symbiosis Hub
A climate-adapted commons for consciousness research.
What if a conference’s exhibition space became a place to discover useful work, compare ideas carefully and begin collaborations that last beyond the final session?
Created for AkashicNET with ChatGPT-assisted research and design on 13 October 2026, following a request to connect the organisations encountered at TSC in San Diego. Published on akashicnet.org to explain their work, prepare useful questions and explore possible collaborations; this is an independent resource, not an official TSC or sponsor publication.
A physical place, a continuing commons
Connected by questions.
Distinct in their methods.
The mycelium metaphor gives this pavilion its branching paths and shared gathering spaces. It is a design inspiration, not evidence that the participating theories converge or that a building is conscious.
Modular demonstration spaces could introduce instruments, publications, educational programmes and research opportunities. Each would connect to a digital profile carrying sources, questions and a concrete next step.

Our comparison · proposed points of connection
Overlap does not mean equivalence.
Some organisations measure, some investigate, others interpret, publish, convene or fund. Their strongest connection may be a shared workflow rather than a shared explanation of consciousness.
| Profile | Primary role | Possible first contribution |
|---|---|---|
| OSS Capital | Fund | A small, clearly licensed evidence-record schema, runnable example and researcher usability pilot. |
| The Consciousness Foundation | Convene | A reviewed evidence record for one question, with an optional crosswalk into CoFo’s existing taxonomy. |
| Alvin Clark | Support | An owner-reviewed public profile and a source-linked reading collection around a question they select. |
| Institute of Noetic Sciences | Investigate | A source-linked Discovery Lab reading guide separating exploratory and preregistered work, findings and limitations. |
| Google Quantum AI | Compute | A version-pinned Cirq simulation with source links, expected outputs and explicit limits of interpretation. |
| Cyan Banister | Support | A concise opportunity brief and a human-reviewed demo with a transparent feedback record. |
| ANT Neuro | Measure | A researcher-reviewed measurement-to-claim guide around one permission-cleared dataset, with a data dictionary and processing provenance. |
| Cosmointel | Investigate | A versioned analysis of one permitted dataset, followed by a preregistered independent replication proposal if warranted. |
| Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences | Interpret | A reviewed study pack with operational definitions, competing explanations and a replication checklist. |
| CUSAC / My Big TOE | Interpret | One source-linked experimental comparison, reviewed by the team and a researcher with a contrasting interpretation. |
| Journal of Consciousness Studies | Publish | A bibliographic guide and a manually authored, expert-reviewed comparison, using permitted material and linking to publisher records. |
| New Paradigm Institute | Document | A public-record timeline with primary links, source types, revision history and competing interpretations. |
AkashicOMNI’s contribution
DISCERN: clarify the question, source, assumptions and uncertainty. DEEPEN: compare alternative explanations and disconfirming evidence. Report the synthesis with unresolved questions intact.
Read the public manual method →What each comparison must retain
Definitions, observation versus interpretation, methods, predictions, data access, review status, conflicts and a condition that would change the conclusion. A common vocabulary must not erase disagreement.
From the deeper Cosmointel review
Begin with one reproducible result.
Cosmointel already has source discovery tools. Associated plant papers also identify datasets, and the salinity paper has public peer-review reports. A practical offer is to reproduce one analysis, document discrepancies and only then plan an independent experiment.
This is a conditional proposal: dataset files were not retrieved in this review, and existing analysis code should be checked before building anything new.
Architecture with a test plan
Adaptation must be demonstrated.
The proposed pavilion pairs an open shaded commons with access to an enclosed cooled and filtered refuge. Mycelium panels begin as replaceable nonstructural components, with product-specific moisture, fire, durability and emissions checks.
