Jonathan Jared Wilson preprint
The Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory proposes that consciousness arises from quantum processes in microtubules within neurons. However, the theory has faced challenges due to the lack of empirical evidence supporting its claims. In this study, we present a novel approach to validate the Orch-OR theory by integrating total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy and...
Uwe Peters preprint
One recent approach to determining whether comatose patients, non-human animals, or brain organoids are conscious is to examine whether they display features that scientific studies have found to be correlated with and indicative of consciousness. However, it is unclear to what extent scientific studies that search for such signs of consciousness rely on evidential standards that facilitate the...
Gabriel Ovadia preprint
This paper proposes a new hermeneutical framework for reading the creation narrative in Genesis 1-2, extending the functional approach developed by John Walton. The central argument is that the apparent duality between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 is neither a contradiction nor an editorial redundancy, but rather an intentional architecture describing two complementary aspects of creation: Chapter 1...
Jonathan Blake preprint
The field's instruments for evaluating AI consciousness, applied to this paper's author, return partial results on every dimension where his cognitive architecture differs from the neurotypical baseline, and full satisfaction where it does not. An instrument that produces false negatives for a known conscious system measures resemblance to one cognitive profile, not consciousness. The leading...

For over a century, physics has pursued a unified description of nature linking quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, yet consciousness—our direct window into existence—remains unaccounted for. This review proposes that consciousness continuity is not an emergent accident of neural complexity but a quantum informational invariant, conserved across transformations of its physical...
Carlos Baladrón, Andrei Khrennikov preprint
A physical model for phenomenological proto-consciousness as an intrinsic, primary property of matter is introduced. A fundamental particle is characterized as a classic-like system in physical space supplemented with an information space that endows the particle with the capacity of storing and processing incoming information which has causal power on the behaviour of the particle. These...
Stephanie Alexander preprint
In the quest to unravel the mysteries of consciousness, this paper proposes an innovative framework that harnesses the power of tensor mathematics to bridge the classical and quantum realms. By representing the complex interactions between neural subsystems, cognitive processes, and subjective experiences as tensors, this paper offers a mathematically rigorous model that captures the emergent...
Jiri Mikkola preprint
The Theory of God (TOG) proposes a pantheistic framework where consciousness is a fundamental, nonlocal quantum field underlying all reality. This model resolves the hard problem of consciousness by treating subjectivity as ontological resonances rather than emergent phenomena, integrating quantum biology, psychophysiology, and non-local entanglement. Drawing on recent research, TOG delineates...
Dr. Srivas Krishna Das Brahmacari preprint
" Quantum Consciousness: Exploring Matter, Mechanics, and Interconnectedness in Vedic Texts" embarks on an illuminating journey at the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science. This book explores how the profound teachings of Vedic philosophy provide a rich framework for understanding the complexities of quantum physics and consciousness. By examining the Bhagavad Gita, the...
Dean Radin preprint
The consciousness-collapse interpretation of quantum mechanics was explored by testing if human observation might act like a weak quantum measurement effect in an optical interferometer. Forty-seven participants selected via a worldwide search for individuals with experience in focusing their attention were each provided with a custom-made optical apparatus. Using this device, they ran a...
