Cognitive neuroscience has accumulated robust findings (e.g., order effects in judgment, multi-path motor preparation, perceptual binding, attentional selection, and the recursive construction of self and time) that systematically resist explanation within classical probabilistic and causal frameworks. We argue that these are not anomalies but signatures of a deeper, non-commutative...
A physical model for phenomenological proto-consciousness as an intrinsic, primary property of matter is introduced. A fundamental particle is characterized as a classic-like system in physical space supplemented with an information space that endows the particle with the capacity of storing and processing incoming information which has causal power on the behaviour of the particle. These...
