This article proposes a unified philosophical and neuropsychiatric model for understandingtruth, consciousness, and artificial intelligence, integrating insights from logic, philosophy ofmind, and clinical psychiatry. Starting with Frege’s platonic model of logical truth, we contrastit with the lived neuropsychiatric experience of insight, conceptualizing truth as a process ofcausal coupling between mind and reality. This framework is further developed through theanalysis of John Searle’s critique of strong AI, highlighting the unique capacity of biologicalorganisms to create self-generated problems, symbolic resistance, and genuineintentionality—features that distinguish living minds from machines. Drawing from clinicalneuropsychiatry, we discuss the “Berkeley Complex” using a paradigmatic case study,illustrating the difference between psychotic delusion and critical consciousness. Finally, themodel is expanded into a broader cosmological-ethical perspective, proposing that love, freewill, and cosmic evolution are structurally interrelated through the very architecture ofconscious existence.
