Theories and Methods of Consciousness biomedres.us Jan 29, 2024 7 facts
perspectiveDaniel Dennett (1991) argues that conscious awareness is an illusion and should not be treated as a distinct ontological substance of the world, universe, or multiverse.
claimDeath is defined in this theoretical framework as either integration into the probability wavefunction of the absolute vacuum, or the collapse of the resonating channel of a psychion into another version of its vibrating frequency, wavelength, and phase across the multiverse.
claimMocombe utilizes classical field theory to connect quantum mechanical concepts, specifically the probability wavefunction of the absolute vacuum which constitutes a fifth dimension, to aggregate matter and entangled multiverses existing in four-dimensional spacetime.
claimPaul C. Mocombe of West Virginia State University and The Mocombeian Foundation, Inc. authored a paper titled 'Theories and Methods of Consciousness' published on January 29, 2024, which explores ontological theories regarding the origins and nature of consciousness in the multiverse.
claimUpon the disaggregation of material reality, consciousness becomes a permanent aspect of the multiverse, a concept termed 'cosmopsychism', which is described as a fifth force of nature whose elementary particle is received by aggregated matter possessing brains, brainstems, and central nervous systems.
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.
referenceQuantum particles and systems exhibit several specific properties: superposition (existing in multiple states until measured), entanglement (interacting instantaneously at great distances), nonlocality (existing outside of spacetime as a probability wavefunction), wave-particle duality (manifesting as either wave or particle), probability wave-function realism (creating multiverses), and the bearing of phenomenal properties like qualia, mass, spin, and charge.

perspectivePanpsychists argue that the current lack of direct testability for their theory does not render it worthless, noting that other scientific theories like the multiverse theory or string theory were also initially untestable.
