Consciousness and electromagnetism are related through theoretical frameworks that treat consciousness as a fundamental feature of reality, drawing direct analogies to the established fundamental laws of electromagnetism {fact:2, fact:3, fact:4}. Additionally, some scientific theories attempt to explain the material emergence of consciousness by incorporating physical concepts like electromagnetism and quantum fields [1].

perspectiveDavid Chalmers compares the fundamental nature of consciousness to the fundamental nature of electromagnetism and gravity, noting that initial reluctance to accept such concepts is historically common.
perspectiveDavid Chalmers advocates that scientists should seek fundamental laws of consciousness, analogous to how scientists sought fundamental laws of gravity and electromagnetism.

claimDavid Chalmers claims that because no functional characterization of consciousness is available, reductive explanation fails, leaving two options: either eliminate consciousness entirely or add it to our ontology as an unreduced feature of reality, similar to gravity and electromagnetism.

referenceTheorists in the scientific interactionist/dualist camp utilize mathematical and empirical concepts from quantum physics, including superposition, wave-function realism, the multiverse, quantum fields, entanglement, and electromagnetism, to connect the material emergence of consciousness to neural correlates or to account for immaterial substance at the quantum level.
