contents <p>This paper proposes a seven-dimensional geometric model of consciousness in which conventional spacetime (x,y,z,t) is extended by three epistemic dimensions: existence-potential (w), indescribability (u), and relational-duality (v). The framework emerges naturally from Jain philosophy’s saptabhangi (sevenfold logic), which classifies all propositions into seven truth-valued perspectives. We show that these seven perspectives correspond to distinct directional signatures in the (w,u,v) subspace. The model accommodates meditative states as trajectories through this epistemic subspace, reformulates the “hard problem” of consciousness as native to the u-axis, and suggests post-mortem continuity as the persistence of (w,u,v) activity after (x,y,z,t) dissolution. This work bridges phenomenological introspection, non-classical logic, and geometric modeling, offering a mathematically rigorous framework for contemplative science and philosophy of mind.</p>
