• Abstract: This paper presents Relational Quantum Dynamics (RQD), a paradigm that re-envisions quantum theory and its interplay with spacetime, observers, and consciousness. Abandoning the notion of a preexisting universe or fixed manifold, RQD posits that observers, observed systems, and geometric structures emerge together as stable relational patterns in an underlying quantum substrate. Spacetime is thus recast as an effective, large-scale feature of entanglement and information flows rather than a fundamental stage. By eliminating pre-given observers and absolute properties, RQD unifies relational quantum mechanics, insights from holography and tensor networks, and non-dual philosophical traditions into a single idealist framework. Here, universal awareness is not an added element but the ontological ground, ensuring that subjective experience and physical reality co-derive from the same relational field. This approach not only demystifies the "hard problem" of consciousness, making it intrinsic rather than emergent but also resolves longstanding quantum puzzles, such as Wigner's friend and Frauchiger-Renner scenarios, by showing that no absolute vantage point or objective collapse is required. In harmonizing quantum theory, emergent geometry, and a fundamental awareness-based ontology, RQD reveals that quantum mechanics, gravity, and consciousness are facets of a single, integrated reality.

  We argue that observers serve as indispensable reference points for measurement, reference frames, and the emergence of meaning. We show how this formalism sheds new light on debates related to consciousness, quantum measurement, and computational boundaries.

  This paper explores the intersection of identity, individuality, and reality through competing frameworks. Traditional metaphysical notions of fixed identity are challenged by advancements in cloning, teletransportation, and digital replication. Computational approaches, such as the Ruliad and Constructor Theory, offer expansive views of emergent realities but often lack practical constraints for observer relevance. Algorithm idealism is introduced as a unifying framework, proposing that reality is an emergent construct governed by computational rules.

• To be or not to be, but where? [0.0]
  Traditional approaches associate quantum systems with classical ones localized in spacetime. canonical linearized quantum gravity disrupts this framework by preventing the formation of gauge-in-variant local algebras. This presents a major obstacle for modeling early universe cosmology, gravity-entanglement experiments, and poses a significant roadblock toward a comprehensive theory of quantum gravity.

  We show that the recently proposed experience-centric quantum theory (ECQT) is a larger and richer theory of quantum behaviors. ECQT allows the quantum information of the closed quantum system's developed state history to continually contribute to defining manybody interactions. The interplay of unitarity and non-Markovianity in ECQT brings about a host of diverse behavioral phases.
