Hi!
My name is Andoni Irigoien.
I’m a former lawyer and bank employee, now a psychologist, critical thinker, and multidisciplinary artist.
Academic background
Andoni holds a Bachelor’s degree in Law (Uni. of Deusto, 2000), a Master’s in Legal Advice (Uni. of Deusto, 2002), a Bachelor’s in Psychology (UNED, 2017), and a Master’s in Logic and Philosophy of Science (Uni. of Salamanca, 2021).
From stability to inquiry
In 2019, I left a secure job to pursue my true passion: exploring the limits of science in search of an integrative understanding of human experience.
I questioned whether matter and spacetime—or their apparent absence, the void—are the primary foundation of reality.
A new perspective
During the COVID-19 lockdown in a small West African fishing village, I realized that an alternative already existed: complexity. Yet its study remained scattered across many isolated fields.
“For all the accomplishments of molecular biology, we still can’t tell a live cat from a dead cat.”
Lynn Margulis
What was missing was a unified vision—one that could explain how we experience a material world even if matter is not fundamental.
The idea of impansion
My answer? Complexity grows inward—a feature I call impansion.
Five years on, I remain deeply engaged with this idea, eager to help consolidate an emerging scientific paradigm.
