This seems related to Conscious Realism and the conscious-agent thesis: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00577/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.0057... Both articles address the combination problem. However, the one I linked to goes into more detail about it and in fact addresses two separate combination problems: “The first is the combination of phenomenal experiences, i.e., of qualia. [...] The second problem is the combination of subjects of experiences.”

"shifting from evolutionary biology to quantum physics" - always a bad sign to find this, it just means some woo-woo explanation based on a very poor concept of quantum physics.

A powerful reminder of why I quit my philosophy degree after a year, thank you.
