An Uncertain Perspective on Consciousness

Abstract

This should be considered as an addendum to Fundamental Cosmology and Physics Beyond the Standard Model [1] and ideas from pilot/wave theory [2]. It is more accurate to say that this is a philosophical perspective that comes from common basic observations and we can give a simple demonstration of this Pilot Wave theory by showing several examples of scale invariance [3]. It is not only just at the smallest levels of quantum mechanics we can observe these properties. Consider large flocks of birds or schools of fish moving together at the human scales of perception. We may show each bird is a particle being piloted by the wave of birds in the flock. But, each bird is also a small part of the wave and has the freedom to change the waveform simultaneously, dynamically. As some might say, “That’s all there is folks.” A living fish or bird, with simple
consciousness, can change the waveform based on internal freewill. There is something happening internally that sets life apart from that which can only be influenced externally. Life has internal dynamics. Particles interacting at the sub-atomic level have no choice in their interaction with the waveform, as this is solely influenced by its own (external) properties. Indeed there is a Markov blanket separating internal and external states. There is a repeating pattern of scale invariance when comparing brain holography theory and ADS-CFT correspondence [4], as black hole holography, as we will show.
