When the World Split is a research-based philosophical memoir developed within the context of doctoral work at Bangor University. It explores the emergence of consciousness through a three-layer model, moving between lived experience, philosophical inquiry, and therapeutic practice.
At its centre, the text introduces paleophenomenology as a methodological approach: one that traces the conditions through which awareness, meaning, and the impulse to create come into being. Rather than treating early human marks as symbols to be decoded, it attends to the moment in which significance itself first emerges.
Structured as a non-linear, layered inquiry, this work does not present a closed argument. It operates as a space of investigation, where autobiographical experience and conceptual reflection intersect. This Philosophical Memoir forms the ground from which the framework arises, holding material that remains in formation while establishing a coherent direction of thought.
This text is intended for readers working across philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and consciousness studies, as well as those engaged in questions that exceed disciplinary boundaries.
