claimQuantum concepts such as complementarity, contextuality, entanglement, dispersive states, and non-Boolean logic play significant roles in mental processes and have epistemological consequences, according to research cited by Bruza et al. (2023).

claimWhen mental states arise from partitions of neural states, the nature of mental processes depends strongly on the specific partition chosen.

Life, Intelligence, and Consciousness: A Functional Perspective longnow.org The Long Now Foundation Aug 27, 2025 2 facts

claimThe argument that machines cannot be intelligent because they are too abstract and the argument that they cannot be intelligent because they are too material both imply that subjective experience relies on something mysterious and ineffable, such as a soul or mental processes.

quoteJohn Searle argues against functionalism by stating: “no one supposes that a computer simulation of a storm will leave us all wet, or a computer simulation of a fire is likely to burn the house down. Why on earth would anyone in his right mind suppose a computer simulation of mental processes actually had mental processes?”
