This book presents a framework for an operating universe that can evolve biology, intelligence, and society without requiring extremely specific initial conditions. In this framework, consciousness emerges as a thermodynamically favored attractor. This account of ourselves as conscious beings is consistent with how the physical world is and it aligns with humanity's deep-seated, ancient intuition. While it is not guaranteed, this cosmic evolution toward consciousness is likely to occur wherever conditions permit, making it significantly more probable than random chance. However, Earth's history represents a specific and unique path.

Eva Deli is a Hungarian American neuroscientist with an extensive publication list in peer-reviewed journals. Her publication list that include biochemistry, cosmology, evolution, and neuroscience, indicates her broad interest in the sciences. She worked at leading Universities like the University of Minnesota and Emory University. Alongside her scientific pursuits, she has a background in the visual arts, which has been instrumental in her creative ability to combine the latest research in neuroscience with a holistic understanding of physics. Her theory of consciousness, known as the fermionic mind hypothesis, may represent a paradigm shift in neuroscience. According to this hypothesis, consciousness is an organic part of the physical universe and governed by the same laws.
