• 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 propose a conceptual framework that integrates awareness into Quantum Dynamics (RQD) We operationalize awareness as the realization of a quantum event-quantified by measures such as the integrated information metric ($Phi$) from Integrated Information Theory (IIT) A toy model is presented in which a simple observer-system is recast in terms of information exchange updating, illustrating how an interaction can give rise to an awareness update.

• Algorithmic Idealism II: Reassessment of Competing Theories [0.0]
  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.

• Geometric monotones of violations of quantum realism [89.99666725996975]
  Quantum realism states that projective measurements in quantum systems establish the reality of physical properties, even in the absence of a revealed outcome. This framework provides a nuanced perspective on the distinction between classical and quantum notions of realism, emphasizing the contextuality and complementarity inherent to quantum systems. We derive geometric monotones of quantum realism using trace distance, Hilbert-Schmidt distance, Schatten $p$-distances, Bures, and Hellinger distances.

• 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.
