Of course! But if the universe is the result of all the quantum field interactions, what if there's a quantum field that, on its own, brings the consciousness interaction, and it manifests in ways that are computationally prohibitive for a process created from atomic-scale logic gates to replicate believably?
What if there's just no way to build consciousness from the building blocks that are within our reach?
- astrange 4y agoPenrose thinks this (that the brain requires quantum computing), but it doesn't seem like anyone agrees with him or that it makes much sense. If I'm a quantum computer, why can't I do Shor's algorithm in my head? Of course parts of regular computers involve "quantum stuff", like details of how transistors and hard drives work, but that doesn't mean they're magic.
