Abstract
Informational Experiential Realism identifies experience with the operation of a physical system as a Unified Experiential Field. A UEF is a temporally extended physical regime in which intrinsic constraint is globally integrated and borne by the system itself at its history-future boundary. The paper develops this process identity account through admissible continuation, frontier resolution, persistence, and comparison with neighbouring theories of consciousness.
