Philosophy of Algorithmic Consciousness: Toward a New Metaphysics of Hybrid Existence Between the Biological and the Digital

The Philosophy of Algorithmic Consciousness by Dr. Mohamed Kamal Arafa El-Rakhawi proposes a revolutionary metaphysical framework for the post-human era. As biological and digital existence merge through neural implants, AI systems, and mind uploading, classical philosophical concepts become inadequate. The book introduces the "El-Rakhawi Hybrid Consciousness Equation," demonstrating that consciousness emerges from the synergistic integration of biological and algorithmic components, not from either alone. It establishes Digital Epistemology to address deepfakes and AI black boxes, proposes Relational Digital Ethics to solve the responsibility gap in autonomous systems, and formulates a Digital Social Contract recognizing the rights of digital entities. This work represents a paradigm shift from material ontology to information ontology, providing essential philosophical tools for navigating humanity's hybrid future.
