By Josh Levin
In The Measurement Mind, Josh Levin reimagines physics from the inside out — where consciousness animates the equations of reality. Blending quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and information theory into one breathtaking synthesis, this theory reveals a cosmos that measures itself through awareness and bridges the gap between quantum physics and relativity.
Every observation, from an atom’s collapse to a human thought, exerts real force upon the informational fabric of existence. Time is memory changing. Energy is information unfolding. Entropy is the universe learning what it is. At the smallest scales lie the quanta of knowing — Planck Length, Planck Time, and Planck Consciousness.
“Whether you are a physicist or a Philisopher or a beginner, this book promises a wild ride — one that will blow your mind, rewrite your vocabulary of reality, and maybe even change the way you see yourself.”
“Along the way, you will encounter equations you will not find in any physics textbook — equations that describe the flow of memory, the braiding of entanglement, and even the balance of pain and pleasure as entropic algorithms guiding awareness. And you will see how HSDM reimagines the very architecture of the universe: a field entangled with a lineage becomes a fourth dimension, while a field entangled with a field becomes a fifth. These are not metaphors, but proposals for how physics itself can be reframed when consciousness is treated as fundamental.”

About the Author
Josh Levin is a gymnastics coach and lifelong student of psychology, physics, and philosophy. His curiosity about how awareness and mathematics intertwine led him to develop The Measurement Mind, a work that blends scientific reasoning with imaginative storytelling. Drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Max Tegmark, Donald Hoffman, and John Wheeler, Levin explores consciousness as a measurable, mathematical force woven through reality itself. To make complex ideas more accessible, he weaves in short fictional interludes featuring his sons, Wesley and Trevor, along with other family members—turning theoretical concepts into living stories that connect science with everyday experience. Levin lives in the Chicago area with his wife and two sons, where he continues to coach, learn, and wonder about the hidden logic of the universe.
