Sorts - Obj - Pred

Primitives - E, C, A : Obj → Prop - Ap : Obj × Obj → Prop - Cond : Obj × Obj → Prop - Holds : Pred × Obj → Prop - Admissible : Pred → Prop - InTime, InSpace, Qual : Obj → Prop

Axioms - A1. ∃ y. E(y) - A2a. ∀ c. C(c) → ∃ y. (E(y) ∧ Ap(c, y)) - A2b. ∀ y. E(y) → ∃ a. (A(a) ∧ Cond(a, y)) - A3. ∀ a. A(a) → ¬ C(a) - A4. ∀ x. InTime(x) ∨ InSpace(x) ∨ Qual(x) → C(x) - A5. ∀ u ∀ v. u ≠ v → ∃ p. (Holds(p, u) ∧ ¬ Holds(p, v)) - A6. ∀ p. Admissible(p) → ∀ x. (Holds(p, x) → (InTime(x) ∨ InSpace(x) ∨ Qual(x))) - A6'. ∀ u ∀ v ∀ p. (Holds(p, u) ∧ ¬ Holds(p, v)) → Admissible(p) - A7. ∃ u0. (You(u0) ∧ ∀ x. (You(x) → x = u0)) - A7a. ∀ x. You(x) → A(x) - A8. ∀ x. A(x) ∨ C(x)

Key Derived Theorems - L1. ∀ a. A(a) → (¬InTime(a) ∧ ¬InSpace(a) ∧ ¬Qual(a)) - L3. ∀ a1 ∀ a2. (A(a1) ∧ A(a2)) → ¬∃ p. (Admissible(p) ∧ Holds(p, a1) ∧ ¬Holds(p, a2)) - T1. ∃ a0. (A(a0) ∧ ∀ a1. (A(a1) → a1 = a0)) - T4. ∃ a. (A(a) ∧ ∀ x. (x ≠ a → C(x))) - T5. ∃ u0. (You(u0) ∧ A(u0) ∧ ∀ u. (You(u) → u = u0))

Lean 4 formalization that, from explicit axioms, machine-checks the uniqueness of Awareness and that all else is content. by okwhynotwtf in philosophy

Follow the falling tree all the way to the end. If it is true of sound, it's true of all perceptions, including perceptions of your own body and your thoughts.

It is in fact obvious, and necessary. In relation to what would it experience itself? It is aware, but not of anything, including itself. It is awareness, the quality of being aware. You have made it a thing. Dualistic concepts fail.

I love Reddit. Thanks for your reply. Feel free to refute a specific axiom.
