Key points Argues that materialist theories such as Orch-OR, global neuronal workspace theory, and integrated information theory cannot explain the uniqueness of self-awareness, and proposes two hypothetical particles that operate beyond classical physics and may mediate consciousness continuity by bonding with nascent nervous systems at infinite velocities. The authors acknowledge no direct empirical evidence for such particles, cite indirect evidence, and contend that control experiments leave a consciousness continuum after death as the only alternative.

Abstract

The mechanisms underlying consciousness and its potential continuity beyond biological death remain pivotal challenges in neuroscience. This study integrates quantum biology, Buddhist psychology, and thought experiments to propose a novel framework in which consciousness persists through hypothetical particles. Using three hypothetical scenarios—brain revival, molecular disassembly/reassembly, and synthetic brain reproduction — we explore whether consciousness arises solely from neural activities, non-identified-material components like certain microparticles, or needs both. The results indicate that materialist models (e.g., the Orch-OR theory, global neuro workspace theory- GNWT) or information integration theory- IIT fail to explain the uniqueness of self-awareness in the ever-changing quality and quantity of the brain, necessitating the introduction of two hypothetical particles. These particles, posited to operate beyond classical physics, may mediate consciousness continuity by bonding with the nascent nervous systems at infinite velocities. By bridging meditative insights with quantum biology, this study offers testable hypotheses for interdisciplinary research and emphasises neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. However, brain function might impact quantum genome evolution as a one-way action by the magnetic field of neurons in the brain. Therefore,1.
