A tool for mapping cognition and a philosophical investigation
It opens up possibilities for understanding how consciousness sculpts the contours of perceived reality and how the hidden potentials of noumena may influence the observer’s experience.
[ What is the polynon ]
A polynon is a conceptual geometric entity, a polytope of which vertices are non-events and its edges, holograms.
Through an analytic idealist lens, the polynon proposes a holographic framework where the observer and reality unfold as interconnected projections. It aims to reveal the intricate architecture of cognition by disentangling the relationships between sensory experiences (phenomena), internal representations (phantasiai), and the ineffable underlying realities (noumena).
The term Polynon combines the Greek root poly- meaning “many” or “much,” with the suffix -non, which draws from the concept of non-events—occurrences outside conventional temporality, causality, or sensory interaction. It also echoes the philosophical notion of noumena in Kantian thought: “things-in-themselves” that exist beyond perception.

1
Geometric Cognition
Consciousness is modeled through geometric and topological structures that underlie perception, forming a framework for how experience is spatially organized.
-
2
Cognitive Gravity
A principle that defines how meaning, memory, and attention are shaped by gravitational-like dynamics within cognitive space, stabilizing perception around attractors.

3
Phenomena, Phantasia, Noumena
A layered model of interaction between sensory experience (phenomena), internal representation (phantasia), and the unseen structures of reality (noumena).

Observer and Wavefunction Superposition
The observer is treated as a functional mechanism within consciousness, existing in superposition with physical reality and shaping what becomes measurable or knowable.

What is the Polynon?
The polynon is a geometric framework for understanding consciousness, perception, and cognition. It models how experience unfolds through structured dimensions shaped by attention, memory, and meaning.
