Conscious action theory

Conscious Action Theory (CAT) incorporates both and acknowledges the importance of the and their implications in understanding the world. CAT shows that the individual and the individual’s experiences influence how the individual perceives the world. In the theory posited by Wolfgang Baer, Conscious Action Theory shows a logical framework of how the conscious observer’s perceptions influence that person’s view of reality. Citing Eddington’s Fish Story, Baer informs the reader that even physics at its most basic level, is still informed by how the individual perceives the world around them.
Overview
Practical applications of Baer’s observer first approach are to recognize ‘Reality’ as a Wittgenstein use symbol, whose meaning is defined not by some external thing we see, but by its use in whatever system of beliefs conscious beings develop to understand and manipulate the sensations they experience. Baer argues that Theories of Reality do not attempt to discover the Nature of a fixed thing out there; instead, they limit the way we experience and explain our experiences and they evolve as our mental methodologies and tools evolve.
The fundamental dynamic principles of CAT are that conscious beings’ perceptions are the culminations of experiences/ actions in their lives. CAT attempts to promote the increase the amount of action that conscious beings experience in their lifetimes, while also keeping internal forces (limiting factors) to a minimum. CAT methodologies lead to a new economic theory of value in combining action with profit but also considering the value of profit in the creation of subjective stress and strain required to realize said profits.<ref name=":0" />
