Since awareness is part of the universe, (You are awareness and you are real), and since there is no way to construct awareness with just time, space and matter/energy, then there must be four fundamental primitives from which the universe is constructed, space, time, matter/energy, and awareness. Consciousness must then be self-organizing behavior arising from a chaotic assemblage of primitive elements of awareness. Since there is nothing like primitive elements of awareness in the world of classical physics, this primitive element of awareness must exist on the quantum level. Perhaps this is why some quantum behaviors are hauntingly evocative of awareness.
- numtel 5y agoA related idea I've had is that: when a living being reproduces asexually, the conscious observer does not split, and is able to experience both bodies. That is, all bacteria exist as one living being with many bodies. To test this, I've dreamed up an experiment. > In April 2004, scientists at Tokyo University of Agriculture used parthenogenesis successfully to create a fatherless mouse. [0] Create an enclosure where two mice live but are isolated from each other: the parent and the clone child produced asexually. Then, provide food for one mouse in a place where the other cannot sense its presence and see if it reacts with salivation, a kind of macro-scale entanglement.
