Quantum computation and the physical computation level of biological information processing
arXiv Preprint Archive December 30, 2009 Giuseppe Castagnoli
On the basis of introspective analysis, we establish a crucial requirement for the physical computation basis of consciousness: it should allow processing a significant amount of information together at the same time. Classical computation does not satisfy the requirement. At the fundamental physical level, it is a network of two body interactions, each the input-output transformation of a...
