One ponders over the quantum mechanical origin of sensory qualia, for
example-- hearing, vision, sense of touch, ...etc. Since only the
discrete moment by moment frames of reality are imprinted on our
consciousness due to the fact that energy IS quantized, then indeed,
those imprints correspond to quantum jumps between quantum histories!
They become snapshots of reality forming a logical sequence FOR the
mind. Also, the indeterministic properties of the mesoscopic quantum
states between the intrinsic neural connections, seem to be way for a
quantum physical correlation to the sensory qualia, giving mind the
illusion of continuity. That is to say, the passive quantum jumps
change only the overall phase of subsystem's state, giving the illusion
of continuous correspondence to sensory experiences.
Of course there are those who, while yearning for an absolute material
world, put forth the putative argument that consciousness is merely an
emergent property of the brain's neural networks, that is to say the
"mind = computer brain". But in between the binding, conscious-state to
conscious-state transition sequence, is the indeterminate
non-computable lapse. Therefore the non-computability forms the the
basis of free will.
One of the most intractable problems of our time, is the "mind-body
problem", which involves an accounting for free will, or more
precisely, a limited form of "autonomy" in that physical existence is
governed by physical law. The mind-body problem also relates to
conscious experience, because the problem is created with the
assumption that the brain is comprised entirely of discrete
non-sentient things. Yet, the neurons within the brain must work as
fully integrated units in which the various parts can become a seamless
fusion of efficiency. The synchronicity and timing of the integration
necessitates the mind's very existence. Thus the integration is not
just a function of mental activity, but it also must encompass the
physiological, energetic, and psychological states.
The phenomenon of synchronicity becomes the evidence that the deepest
regions of the unconscious mind consist of indeterminate "psyche
structures" that transcend the distinction between psyche and matter
altogether. Indeterminate gaps between actualized moments provide the
most fundamental degrees of perceptual freedom. Perception is necessary
to bring about the transition from possible to actual, where the
fundamental nature of observation in quantum theory remains partially
enigmatic. The quintessential measurement problem is derived from the
fact that prior to a perception, or scientific "observation", the
quantum is described as being a nonlocal wave of probability
distributed throughout space-time; then, after an observation, only one
of the possible values becomes the actual reality.
