I think you're making a good point that perhaps relates to higher levels of intentionality, but could you be more specific? Don't mean to put you on t...

That's actually a somewhat complicated issue from the perspective of panprotopsychism lol

The electrical energy of brain waves is not dissipative like heat, it is in large measure contained within neural networks to produce an ultracoordina...

I think memory is an at least partially separate mechanism from the stream of consciousness I was talking about. Memory basically consists of a record...

I concede that the readout on an EEG machine isn't of course what brain waves actually look like, but the readout is representing a real wave oscillat...

Probably what I'm in the process of trying to figure out. In general, I think various types of motion exist in physics - linear, oscillating, interact...

ga ga goo goo lol

If you've read Smolin's book I'm surprised you don't assign more weight to the phenomenon of wave and wavicle blending. As he says, "that is what wave...

What, you can't admit defeat? j/k Its actually almost excessively concrete, not nonsense at all. You may not have the same conceptual background to my...

First of all, information is merely relations between physical entities viewed from our modeling perspective, a distinctly human formal causality. "In...

I didn't intro that very aptly, its a paragraph from near the end of an essay, but if you read the rest of this thread, you'll get the idea I think.

Traditional neuron chemistry is of course a factor in consciousness, synaptic connections, neurotransmitters, ion channels etc., but seems to me that ...

Wouldn't it be awesome to know how water nymphs and totem gods function? lol Quantum theory is not the final say, but it is the gateway my friend. (An...

The root of evil is fundamentally a forced reaction to something repugnant like mutilation or debauchery. Evil makes us conflicted as we must choose b...

Quantum features of matter aren't even as constrained as a phase change. The way I see it, electron orbitals and electromagnetic radiation are differe...

Imagine being able to draw a diagram in a textbook that represents the chemistry of qualitative perception as incisively as photosynthesis and the Kre...

Bertrand Russell discussed something like it, I'm fairly sure of that based on what I've read, but perhaps he didn't coin the term. I'm actually glad ...

Its a particularate monism. Its not woo-of-the-gaps, once you grasp the superposition principle being considered an alternative seems impossible. Wiki...

More essential than electromagnetic/nucleic matter by itself, I'm thinking dark matter, dark energy, and nonlocal forces.

More essential, not absolutely fundamental is a better way to put it.

Not bad as a thought experiment, but ultimately better for computers than humans if given paradigmal primacy.

I'm skeptical of viewing information as fundamental, seems like a reification of mathematical concepts. Whenever we get a new model we get a new body ...

Those are the million dollar questions for research: a. What is the fundamental substrate of reality that transcends electromagnetism, and how does it...

lol, I know the feeling. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy storage molecule in cells. ATP synthase is the enzyme in a mitochondria's i...

Youtube video claims scientists have determined that the phosphates in ATP molecules may be capable of superpositions lasting nearly a second.

I'm sorry my model was so overwhelming to your intellect, it would be a scientific revolution if you could only see the truth lol

The most precise label for it I've come across is panprotopsychism, an unwieldy term that I think was invented by Bertrand Russell. Basically my view ...

Maybe slice of scapegoat pseudopurgatory would be more accurate, don't lay into me too much.

Feel welcome to criticize, that's what I enjoy! This forum is like a small slice of heaven compared to my daily life lol By quantum resonance, I mean ...

Incisive quote. In my view no foundation exists, only positivistic evolution (hopefully progress), so the question of grounding is moot. Naturalism as...

superposition: wave blending entanglement: synchronous interaction, variously proximal or remote All particles have wavelike properties, making them i...

The physical world is quantized, ideal mathematical concepts are imaginary exclusions of quantization, equivalent to a unicorn or a leprechaun for pur...

If particular superpositions amongst entangled molecules give rise to particular qualia, then these qualia will be meaningfully and predictably simila...

But breaking stones eventually breaks you and could in extreme cases break society, even moreso when we are the cause of human suffering, and stones d...

Quantum consciousness certainly is a promising line of research, no doubt about that, though as you say still at the speculative stages.

But quantum physics as thus far modeled barely scratches the surface of what material substance consists in. Quantumlike effects may pervade the behav...

Action potentials are a quantum coherence event, molecular chemistry consists in entangled superpositions, and the brain's electromagnetic field as ge...

Sorry to interject, but you guys should really consider quantum consciousness theory. Superposition explains subjective qualia, and entanglement expla...

It would have to be via a kind of wave that is independent of electromagnetic matter, maybe dark matter, perturbing faster than the speed of light or ...

Subjective experience as comprised of qualia is not a product of neural networks (by that I mean some sort of "wiring" itself), but rather the electro...

Let's talk about gobbledegook then, what isn't too legit to quit for you? Its like saying quantum elements of perception are as richly varied as the E...

You seem to be knowledgeable about the resources available in this area of study: do you know of a cheap or free application for making good quality s...

Great, wise guys lol That's exactly what it is, lets put it in terms of bees and trains. The bee moves at 19.3 m/microsecond and the train at 6 m/micr...

Trying not to jerk your chain! I'm uncertain what the range of geometrical representations possible for the problem is, probably multiple ways of mode...

I think this is a valid description of the problem. Two entities leave the same point at the same time within a fixed path length but at different, co...

Maybe you'll get some ideas from my own initial version of a theory like panprotopsychism. I've developed some more nuance since then, but looking at ...

Maybe soul is comprised of or identical to bodies with physical properties, just not in its totality a physiological body.

I think that's misleading because at the subatomic, quantum scale, absolute location and time don't exist for the model, instead an always approximate...

Me, I think I subscribe to a combination of strong and weak supervenience: every subjectively reported state has a physical correlate, but subjective ...
