The Physics of the Poor

Whoever possesses objects products things - is deemed valuable. Whoever possesses none - is deemed worthless.This was the lived experience of the British-Austrian autistic artist Timothy Speed through many years of poverty. His response was radical: to rewrite physics itself - to base the world not upon things but upon nothingness.This seemingly small artistic manoeuvre has far-reaching consequences for physics consciousness research and the structures of politics economy and society.The Physics of the Poor is not an essay nor a theoretical game - it is a complete original structural theory of reality.With the MNO (Minimal Non-Object) the Triad of Submergence and the All-Nothing Paradox Timothy Speed formulates a fundamental ontology that does not replace the prevailing models of consciousness (IIT GNW SOC) but rather integrates and transcends them on a deeper level. He demonstrates that consciousness cannot be explained as a mere consequence of complexity - but as an emergent decision arising within a structural gap.This work offers a new response to the hard problem of consciousness - no longer asking for the origin of qualia but for the form of emptiness out of which subjectivity itself arises. The gap becomes the source; nothingness becomes the productive principle. In doing so Speed interweaves theoretical physics philosophy phenomenological experience and social reality into a coherent metastructure.The Physics of the Poor is a work of artistic research - a radical form of thinking from the boundary: philosophical political existential. It introduces not only new concepts but a different epistemology - one emerging from autism from poverty from the outside.This book is a rupture with academic habit - and perhaps precisely for that reason what academia needs now.
