By the way, many of the historical clues lead to this, and phenomena throughout the solar system (even the galaxy?) are synchronized to my location, s...

The future is primarily guided by tech crews/institutes on the internet who use precognition/remote perception to tow the past into the present. They ...

Alas, I was firmly rejected by my Romulan brethren, but have found a niche in quantum neuroscience so they still put up with me some lol

An Enformationist, panprotopsychist and nonphysicalist...lol
November 25, 2022 at 02:27
Those concepts don't physically exist except as a configuration of matter generated in consort with our minds, so I agree. I don't find this particula...
November 25, 2022 at 02:00
The "nonphysical" is just a way of experiencing and describing matter in terms of noncorporeal concepts, an evolutionary adaptation that is in reality...
November 25, 2022 at 01:42
Everything's quantum man! But so-called "quantum effects" so far seem to cancel out at relatively small electromagnetic masses. EM radiation is almost...

I do not claim any special knowledge in the ways of cosmic or itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny strings lol The concept of a coherence field is based on a fact t...
November 24, 2022 at 19:40
My understanding is derived from Terrence Deacon. What I mean is that energy flows from more (relative presence) to less (relative absence) in pursuit...
November 21, 2022 at 18:55
Those are some interesting issues you raised. I suppose all discreteness would only be so in a relative way. Atoms are discrete in their adjacency to ...
November 21, 2022 at 03:24
Many physicists tend to think philosophy is bull and psychology is subjective. They can shut up and calculate if they want! All the physics forums do ...
November 21, 2022 at 00:12
I think the basic concept is contained in statements such as these. Matter is quantized or discrete at a fundamental level, but evinces unity on emerg...
November 20, 2022 at 18:50
In coherence field theory, the matter of ideas would be a combination of molecular/radiative fields that vibrate while bound together by entanglement ...
November 16, 2022 at 02:18
That is true of entanglement between atoms. But experiments have shown EM radiation can entangle across distances of 15 km, and light interacts with a...

The pivotal question is then whether we need a neurobreadology to lesion the nuts out of our conscious states hahaha The medical establishment could p...

The way I think of it, percepts are the emergent property of an energy field which we currently define electromagnetically, as density maxima or atomi...
November 13, 2022 at 18:57
When you get into phenomenology of physics the vast possibility is hard to get a grip on and concepts haven't progressed far at this point. I read a b...

You might look into Sean Carroll's involvements in researching the many worlds interpretation (he's kind of the spokesman). Apparently physicists are ...

I see I have been summoned away from wooing the gaps to talk quantum mechanics sans mechanics! I'm in the process of authoring a paper on consciousnes...
September 21, 2022 at 04:01
The idea of electrical energy existing within an atom as an electron is problematic, I agree. It would be more accurate to refer to the EM field as co...

Electric Coherence Currents and Electromagnetic Fields Within the Brain It is well-established that neural signaling is modulated by diffusion of ions...
September 01, 2022 at 02:18
I'll summarize the main points of my OP as they relate to your comments. A well-established signature of conscious awareness is oscillation in the bra...
August 04, 2022 at 15:58
I completely support this idea, a hybrid of Platonic form, Kantian category of the understanding and Jungian archetype. Reason can be aesthetic, I inf...
August 04, 2022 at 00:09
What I mean by panprotopsychism is that fundamental matter is not conscious, but percept constituents that compose consciousness are material and form...
August 03, 2022 at 17:55
Alright, if you want to blow off experts who are trying to clarify and bs instead that's not gonna be my problem. Proceed with your stuff.
August 03, 2022 at 04:29
I omitted the 25 source reference list as it was kind of much for a message board. I don't think I'm beyond the scope of this thread, participants rai...

The OPs of my The Physics of Consciousness thread which I might as well link to again are part of the rough draft for a scientific paper I'm publishin...

Greater rates of oscillation in the brain's electric field generally correlate with higher arousal: delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma waves, from least...

A couple years ago I gave human cognition's evolution a lot of thought and published a paper on the topic in an anthropology journal, so I have some d...

The claim that thought in general does not require verbalization seems undoubtedly accurate to me, and I essentially agree with all you've written in ...

So you want experimentally verified mechanisms of nervous system function? Plenty of material online to boost your comprehension. I'll start, the amyg...

You guys are hopeless lol Matter resides on a spectrum from relatively coherent to decoherent states, of which standard issue superposition, entanglem...

If you don't bother to think about a model of the chemistry and anatomy of neuroscience until you comprehend it, what YOU'RE doing is pseudoscience. I...
August 01, 2022 at 20:07
If as a thought experiment I view intention as core or fundamental from my panprotopsychist perspective, what does that entail? Subatomic particles, e...
August 01, 2022 at 18:37
I can't think of any argument to pose against what you wrote. Unless the human mind evolves away from the need to translate experience into informatio...

Coherence field theory isn't holistic or reductionistic so much as staunchly realist. I think it should be possible to integrate with information theo...

Conceptually, CFT is both holistic and reductionistic. Reducing brains to subatomic constituents allows us to comprehend how the interaction between b...

It's an interesting, deep topic and I have an open mind, so no need to be concerned about me being an ass about it lol Words can't really do the dream...

Genes that made the entire 400-700 nm spectrum visible evolved in primates about 30 million years ago. As I described in the OP, this portion of the s...

We may not experience the full benefits, but I wouldn't be surprised if those currently alive will be the last generations to die of natural causes.
July 26, 2022 at 22:33
Not at all a misplaced hope. With the amount of effort going into antiaging research, some amazing progress is going to come very soon.
July 26, 2022 at 21:42
I've been experiencing cinematic dreams for more than a year, so the story was self-expression with a Jungian theme, a lot like dreams I've had, but y...
