Abstract
This article focuses on the intriguing relationship between mathematics and physical phenomena, by putting forward the argument that all conscious thought may be contextually generated within a hierarchical series of iterated and interlocking frames of reference. It overcomes the epistemological complexities of the Frame(s) Problem by proposing that the primal frame of reference from which all conscious thought ultimately emerges is essentially an abstract representation of the four-dimensional properties of existence, plus the genetically derived emotional behaviours that even the lowliest cognitive organisms are born with, and automatically express as they struggle to exist within an ever-changing and often hostile environment.
