approaches to consciousness

Abstract

Accepted for poster presentation
Quantum Mind 2003 Conference

Tucson AZ

March 15-19, 2003

 

 

Certain quantum theory concepts, especially nonlocality, probability, and entanglement with consciousness, mean that we cannot be satisfied with a theory of consciousness until we achieve a satisfactory theory of reality.  Current approaches to a Afinal theory@ of cosmos focus on the nature of the smallest objects in space.  However, a theory of whole-cosmos Energy nonlocally pulsed (quantized and renormalized) in Planck time intervals, when taken in concert with quantum mind theory, yields a unification of physics and consciousness which intuitively describes physicality as we know it, and can account for Aanomalous@ nonlocal effects in psyche seen in various types of studies. Such a model points to consciousness as a Areading@ of cosmic integration in nonlocality, providing a screen on which content is projected by processes at ordinary (local) neurological scale. Yet, since consciousness would be one aspect of the state of cosmos being integrated at each Apulse,@ it could (if only weakly) influence the probability wave equation for the next pulse. Having such a common working model would provide appropriate mapping of evidence to its proper level of description, would show where the gaps are, and would affirm the importance of all disciplines as work proceeds toward a final theory.

The poster outlines the author’s pulsed-nonlocality proposal, which is presented more completely in the article Time for Eternity and monograph Foundations of Noetic Medicine.  This file includes selected illustrations and captioning from the poster.

 

The FNM monograph and the file A Medical Reality Check highlight a number of new concepts from physics, mathematics, consciousness studies, neurophysiology and depth psychology which point to a deep abstract reality which is “mind-like” in that it is not limited by or defined in spacetime.

 

The proposal refers to this abstract continuum (which “contains” the spacetime continuum) as the nuocontinuum or nuospace.

 

 

 

 

 

Microtubles are very tiny structures in all nucleated cells, but are especially well organized in neurons.  According to Hameroff and Penrose, these are capable of quantum level interactions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The upper zone of the diagram below represents the (abstract) nonlocal realm, identified variously in spiritual traditions by terms such as transcendent consciousness or eternal realm.  Philosophically it is the realm of Plato’s Forms, where Archimedes could place his lever (“AL”) to move the world.  It is the realm of nuocontinuum (nuospace) but for purposes of this proposal, it is the realm of whole-cosmos Energy, and of the information flow which determines the distribution of energy across all states of matter (represented by the psi of the Schroedinger time-independent equation).


The lower zone represents the complexity of levels of ordinary states of matter, which at each Planck-time “tick” are re-actualized as matter in motion, according to the probably relationships represented by the Schroedinger equation.  In quantum theory, the probabilities are construed as distributed in Hilbert Space, an infinitely-dimensioned mathematical construct.

 

 

 

The right inset of the color plate above is from the start of a movie sequence, showing typical interference waves in surf, here forming the letter psi. In the proposed “pulsed nonlocality” model, there is a constant interaction at all levels of complexity between the wave-forms of physical states and the cosmic psi of abstract nonlocal reality, which governs quantum decoherence into the physical state realized at each sequential “pulse”.  The tiny value of the Planck time results in a “very high definition” cosmos, something like a DVD with an extremely high sampling rate.  Cosmos would thus be capable of far more complexity than has heretofore been observed.
