Key points Proposes a three-level quantum field framework—finite local physical field, infinite unified field, and an intermediate finite nonlocal field—in which 'quantum mind' resides, arguing this allows a coherent model of mind causally influencing brain and behavior. The author contends these models converge with the ancient Vedic 3-in-1 holistic account of nature's ontological levels.

Abstract

Nonlocality has been supported by experimental evidence since the 1980s. This paper offers a theoretical framework for what and where it is, based on recent quantum field theories that identify three levels of nature: 1) finite local field of physical matter/energy; 2) infinite unified field; and 3) finite nonlocal field in-between. The in-between level is where ‘quantum mind’ is placed; and for the first time in modern science, this allows a logically coherent model of how mind causally influences brain and behavior. Importantly, these three-level models are converging toward the ancient Vedic 3-in-1 holistic account of ontological levels of nature. They reflect revolutionary progress on foundational issues about the matter-mind-consciousness relationship.
