  2. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The important point of this is that the zero-point field energy H F does not affect the Heisenberg equation for a kλ since it is a c-number or constant (i.e. an ordinary number rather than an operator) and commutes with a kλ. We can therefore drop the zero-point field energy from the Hamiltonian, as is usually done.

  3. Holographic consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_consciousness

    Rakovic's approach is unique, however, insofar as it combines concepts from quantum physics, holography, and information theory to describe consciousness as a fundamental property of the universe whereby free will arises from interactions between universal consciousness and the quantum vacuum or zero-point field. [26]

  4. Quantum vacuum state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_state

    The video of an experiment showing vacuum fluctuations (in the red ring) amplified by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.. If the quantum field theory can be accurately described through perturbation theory, then the properties of the vacuum are analogous to the properties of the ground state of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, or more accurately, the ground state of a measurement ...

  5. Electromagnetic theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories...

    This field representation is in this theory argued to integrate parts into a whole that has meaning, so a face is not seen as a random collection of features, but as somebody's face. The integration of information in the field is also suggested to resolve the binding/combination problem. In 2013, McFadden published two updates to the theory.

  6. Implicate and explicate order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicate_and_explicate_order

    The implicate order represents the proposal of a general metaphysical concept in terms of which it is claimed that matter and consciousness might both be understood, in the sense that it is proposed that both matter and consciousness: (i) enfold the structure of the whole within each region, and (ii) involve continuous processes of enfoldment ...

  7. Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann–Wigner...

    In the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation, quantum mechanics predicts only the probabilities for different observed experimental outcomes. What constitutes an observer or an observation is not directly specified by the theory, and the behavior of a system under measurement and observation is completely different from its usual behavior: the wavefunction that describes a system spreads out into ...

  8. Integrated information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theory

    Phi; the symbol used for integrated information. Integrated information theory (IIT) proposes a mathematical model for the consciousness of a system. It comprises a framework ultimately intended to explain why some physical systems (such as human brains) are conscious, [1] and to be capable of providing a concrete inference about whether any physical system is conscious, to what degree, and ...

  9. Orchestrated objective reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestrated_objective...

    David Chalmers argues against quantum consciousness. He instead discusses how quantum mechanics may relate to dualistic consciousness. [61] Chalmers is skeptical that any new physics can resolve the hard problem of consciousness. [62] [63] [64] He argues that quantum theories of consciousness suffer from the same weakness as more conventional ...
