Abstract
Abstract When in our book we discuss the demonstrated quantum facts and the quantum theory (as distinct from the theory’s several contending interpretations), we describe a generally accepted position. We cannot describe such a consensus in our discussion of consciousness—there is none. Diametrically opposed positions are strongly held. We have our own take, but, you may notice, we waver.
