In the essay titled “What is consciousness?”, I have stated that the existence of qualia is not explainable based on the current scientific theories. I have also argued that the capacity to comprehend seems to be even more difficult to explain than qualia. Physics assumes the existence of matter, energy, space, and time (MEST) with certain fundamen...
Quantum field theory (QFT) isthe best physical theory we currently have. It tells us that physical realityis an undivided wholeness. The classicalidea that separate parts exist is just an approximation intended to produce asimpler model of how reality works. The world instead is not made of separateparts because there are no realboundaries between ...
In a holistic system, aseparate part cannot exist. Therefore, we need to introduce the new concept ofa part-whole: something that cannotbe separated from the whole since it shares the properties of the whole, andyet possesses some properties that uniquely identifies it from the otherparts-whole. In the case of the QFT, each quantum field is a part-...
I hypothesize thatconsciousness is a fundamental property of the quantum fields not yetacknowledged by physics. This property is essentially invisible in themacroscopic inanimate objects of classical physics because a typical object isa random aggregation of atoms and molecules in which the averages of their individualquantum properties become the ...
In the conceptual framework I am developing, the elementaryontological units, the fundamental“components” of reality, are called consciousness units (CUs). Each CU is a field,similar to the quantum fields,but more fundamental than them. Each CU has an inner semanticreality and an outer symbolicrealityindivisible from the first. The CUs combine to c...
