Book.[1] by Boris Rusakov[2]
Title: Homo Falsus - Lying Man
Subtitle: Physics, Consciousness, Language, Information, and I
Hardcover, Paperback & E-book
Published: May, 2023

The book lays out a theory of origin of human consciousness based on realization that human consciousness consists of concepts as its fundamental constituents [3]
The author makes an observation that consciousness[4] and vision are one and the same.

Homo Falsus (Lying Man - latin)- is the author's substitute of Homo Sapiens. It is not meant as an insult but actually means deceived, creative, guessing.

Concepts that make up human consciousness are abstractions that do not correspond to anything in physical world. They are basis not only of human consciousness but of human language and information[5][6][7]. The author claims that human language has emerged as evolutionary result[8] of emergence of concepts.

The so-called hard problem of consciousness [9] is claimed to be resolved by identifying concepts with mental representations of physical sensory images of nervous system.

The theory is claimed to pave a way for studying human consciousness much like modern science studies brain.[10][11]

The book makes certain conclusions about Physics and observation of physical phenomena. In particular, it claims that probabilistic nature of Quantum Mechanics can be explained by ambiguities in identifying 3D sources for the 2D projections we observe.
