About Simon Raphael


Simon Raphael is an Australian electronics engineer, teacher of robotics and automation, and independent philosopher.
He is the original creator of Similarity Theory, a cosmological and philosophical framework that examines how consciousness, time, and dimensional structure relate across different layers of reality.
Simon developed Similarity Theory to address a persistent problem in modern understanding: why scientific, philosophical, and experiential models of the Universe often appear contradictory, yet remain internally valid. Rather than rejecting existing theories, his work focuses on structural coherence — explaining how different perspectives emerge from different dimensional or conceptual layers of observation.
His approach does not rely on belief, ideology, or authority. Instead, it offers a unifying interpretive framework that integrates established scientific models with philosophical reasoning and lived human experience, without reducing one domain into another.
