The Mind as a Concretion of a Cosmic Consciousness

Theology and Science August 11, 2026 José Luis Díaz Palencia

This paper develops a comparative metaphysical model in which individual minds are treated as finite concretions of a unified cosmic consciousness. The analysis connects Neoplatonic emanation, the Nous and the World Soul with Spinoza's substance, attributes, modes, and conatus. It also discusses conceptual parallels with modern theoretical physics, especially string theory, quantum...

A Dialogue Between Quantum Neuroscience and Analytical Psychology Through Symbolic Connections

Journal of Analytical Psychology August 10, 2026 Celia Ortega Goméz, José Luis Díaz Palencia

Abstract Analytical psychology and modern physics have opened windows to describe aspects (or even one single substance) of reality. The notions of archetypes and the collective unconscious suggest that dreams carry symbolic messages from the area of psychic potential, while quantum neuroscience posits that consciousness and brain activity may be influenced by quantum‐level phenomena beyond...

Self-Organized Criticality and Quantum Coherence in Tubulin Networks Under the Orch-OR Theory

AppliedMath December 24, 2025 José Luis Díaz Palencia

We present a theoretical model to explain how tubulin dimers in neuronal microtubules might achieve collective quantum coherence, resulting in wavefunction collapses that manifest as avalanches within a self-organized criticality (SOC) framework. Using the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory as inspiration, we propose that microtubule subunits (tubulins) become transiently...

Neuroentropy and Consciousness: A Meta-Analytic Review

BRAIN BROAD RESEARCH IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE December 5, 2025 José Luis Díaz Palencia

Neuroentropy (understood as the complexity or diversity of brain activity) has emerged as a possible quantitative marker of consciousness. This meta-analytic review synthesizes evidence from EEG, MEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings, and perturbation-based approaches (e.g., Perturbational Complexity Index) across 2013–2023. Findings show higher entropy during wakefulness, REM sleep, and...
