quantum phenomena ↔ consciousness

Relations (1)

related 2.81 — strongly supporting 6 facts

The relationship is established by theoretical models, such as those proposed by Ian Marshall [1] and researchers Gangsha Zhi and Rulin Xiu {fact:5, fact:6}, which hypothesize that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon. This connection is further supported by shared characteristics like subjectivity and indeterminism {fact:2, fact:3}, though the validity of this link remains a subject of ongoing debate [2].
