Then the inquiry becomes: what is the appropriate attitude and approach of those at a higher level to those at a lower level, and of those at a lower ...

Sure, I've got an abstract for ya! Not all of this is covered in the excerpt I posted. A general definition of quantum coherence is developed from ana...
July 23, 2022 at 04:32
But think about an object such as a neuron in a textbook, accompanied by verbal description. Anyone with a grade schooler's ability to reason grasps t...

A higher and lower level can't typically be considered identical enough that one is absolutely dispensable, but they can be made translatable such tha...
July 22, 2022 at 19:07
Anyone know of any experiments that have been performed to prove or disprove my hypotheses? How does my theory match the introspective intuitions you ...

A quantum physics journal in September.

Yes!

A Coherence Field Theory of Physics and Consciousness In the domain of physiology, basic atomic structure is heterogeneously dense enough that decoher...

The Role of Light/Molecular Interactions in Producing a Perceptual Coherence Field Within the Brain A mechanism responsible for percepts insofar as th...

I haven't written fiction in more than a decade, so I suppose I got what was coming to me, last place! I actually agree with all the critiques: if I h...

Thinking about ethics recently, seems to me that the OP is becoming more true each day, at least in the US, especially the points about antieudemonia....
July 17, 2022 at 00:31
Not wanting to derail, but just briefly saying that if thought can transcend classical time and space, why not nonlocal forces driving those thoughts ...

Of course hydrogen is absolutely everywhere, but I read a physicist say that carbon and water are in most solar systems: comets, asteroids, planets et...
July 13, 2022 at 04:01
I mean chances are good for ALIENS! That's a hell of a scope!
July 13, 2022 at 01:17
Water and carbon are the most plentiful substances in the universe, so chances are good.
July 13, 2022 at 00:23
Entanglement in photosynthetic reaction centers has been around a while. Based on neural anatomy, signal transmission in neurons seems likely to be cu...
July 12, 2022 at 04:54
Humanity is the ideal we from my point of view, but yes, I have published some papers on consciousness.
July 11, 2022 at 18:27
In enzyme active sites, photosynthetic reaction centers, etc., but this is all nanoscale to the extent that it solely involves atoms. EM radiation int...
July 11, 2022 at 17:56
That's because theory wasn't developed enough to construct a viable experiment. But we're getting to the point where the material basis of consciousne...
July 11, 2022 at 17:37
Like quantum field theory except the field is not fundamentally quantum as conventionally conceived but has properties such as entanglement which tran...
July 11, 2022 at 15:17
I suppose materialism would then be closer to panpsychism than physicalism, which works for me. Subtleties might exist that mean atoms aren't perceivi...
July 11, 2022 at 15:06
A materialist proof for the existence of God would be wild.
July 11, 2022 at 01:58
Regarding the semiosis/matter interface. A new distinction is being introduced to quantum theory: superradiance vs. subradiance. The external regions ...
July 11, 2022 at 01:41
String theory is an interesting framework that could find applications someday, but I don't consider it to have much realism so its explanatory power ...
July 10, 2022 at 16:42
Sides of the same coin perhaps: when the objectivist hat is on, rational individualist, when the subjectivist hat is on, existentialist. I think we br...
July 09, 2022 at 23:19
Been recently getting into a bunch of physics history. Wasn't me that said it! Haven't read that book.
July 09, 2022 at 22:22
Penrose's books are difficult and I don't venture into them much. He's such a math whiz and you always have to do logic gymnastics. I'm more of a spat...
July 09, 2022 at 22:01
That might be true from a certain perspective perhaps. The idea that we can fully assimilate "consciousness" into objective knowledge may be an ideal ...
July 09, 2022 at 21:13
I think the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-Or theory as initially proposed was regarded as implausible because the brain is too hot and wet for molecular super...
July 09, 2022 at 19:28
Oops, mistyped, that was supposed to read ''asynchrony''.
July 05, 2022 at 05:25
For me philosophy is about developing your own perspective and getting better at discourse, not arriving at any particular ideology. Of course philoso...
July 05, 2022 at 02:50
The analysis of enframing is interesting. I think that is a main psychological impetus for the value form transition from labor to information in the ...
July 02, 2022 at 22:28
What's the problem with the rational common in a cultural relativist's view? Seems to me the foundation of public life and something we were transform...
July 02, 2022 at 20:53
To all concerned: finite metadiscourses are fine within the highly academic sphere, but then what about dissemination, which requires some level of ma...
June 30, 2022 at 00:46
Both, and assessing relative weight of all those factors is not a simple matter.
June 28, 2022 at 20:59
An inconsistent position because taken to its logical conclusion no purpose exists for willing anything, total apathy. It is also fallacious because r...
June 28, 2022 at 20:34
From the perspective of the willing subject the total material system is nondeterministic because the subject is a substantive cause. From the perspec...

I didn't find CEMFI with an online search. Maybe include additional detail? Effective methods exist for correlating EEG, ECoG etc. patterns with cogni...

Exactly, Libet was encroaching on our existential territory. This shows that the intuition of volition can be valid from a neuroscientific perspective...

I admittedly should do more reading, but...can the wave function and its collapse be instantiated with some technology, like a REALLY fast elevator yo...
June 23, 2022 at 02:29
I wonder if by using an extremely powerful computer to calculate the wave function of a macroscopic space, you can generate or merely define a field o...
June 23, 2022 at 01:56
I've got a crazy idea for you that I have not in any way corroborated or identified specific sources for, so I'm being liberal with facts, apologies. ...
June 22, 2022 at 05:19
But what if electromagnetic matter is just a denser portion of the aether field, not a separate substance? Electromagnetism might be like a relatively...
June 21, 2022 at 14:08
Maybe aether has some connection to dark matter/energy and quantum coherence.
June 21, 2022 at 02:28
Ha, I knew it! This is my qualitative thinking. Each atom of electromagnetic matter has a density of aether infused into it, and interferences within ...
June 21, 2022 at 02:03
Can you give a basic explanation of the technical details?
June 21, 2022 at 01:23
I have a degree in philosophy, some math with lots of chemistry, biology and neuroscience courses also. Quantum physics is more of a hobby so as you c...

Coherence Fields in the Brain Molecular biologist Johnjoe McFadden’s CEMI (conscious electromagnetic information) theory aptly describes EM field effe...

I suppose this is a naturally occurring optogenetic phenomenon explored on the level of biochemical phenotype rather than genes. Researchers filled a ...
April 23, 2022 at 15:38
I've obtained some new data and concepts that support my coherence field theory of superposition between EM radiation and molecules. When you come up ...
