A complement to the Hypothesis of the Natural Beyond, focusing on the persistence of consciousness, identity, or some aspect of the self after physical death—but framed entirely within naturalistic terms. It posits that survival (e.g., of information, energy pattern, or consciousness) is a natural phenomenon, not a miracle, and therefore could be investigated scientifically. It avoids metaphysical assumptions while leaving room for research into near‑death experiences, reincarnation claims, and other phenomena often dismissed out of hand.
