Proposal for a new model incorporating consciousness into quantum physics and cosmology, allowing their unification (eBook)

INTRODUCTION

Consciousness and the universe have always been captivating subjects that have sparked the curiosity of sages, philosophers, and scientific researchers worldwide for millennia.

The quest to understand the nature of human consciousness and its connection to the universe in which we exist has been a source of countless debates and reflections throughout history.

Consciousness, this reality that is so familiar to us yet remains profoundly mysterious, is at the heart of our contemplations here, as its influence on phenomena and their perception must necessarily play a role.

The challenge lies in this: it is a true paradox because we perceive it both as something deeply intimate, an inner reality, but its true nature often eludes us.

The fact that it is both the subject and object of our inquiries, and even a witness or observer, does not simplify the task, although...

For what do we truly know today about the nature of this life force that seems to animate our being, both personally and, perhaps, universally?

Shouldn't we then attempt to propose a unified system, one that integrates consciousness and modern physics here, for a more comprehensive understanding? Shouldn't we unite our efforts in an interdisciplinary manner rather than compartmentalizing everything, breaking "knowledge" into isolated pieces, leading to the discovery of disparate properties, like a scattered puzzle with no overall coherence?

So, we have decided here to take the plunge, to propose a comprehensive and innovative approach to explore this complex relationship between consciousness and the universe and attempt to bring together the pieces of this intricate puzzle.

In this quest, we will build upon the essential foundations of quantum physics and cosmology, without ever challenging them, while also making an unprecedented attempt to provide a mathematical definition of Consciousness itself, or at least the closest possible representation of what it is in mathematical language, so that it can be understood and integrated by the scientific community.

The idea of establishing a crucial link between consciousness and the universe may seem bold and perhaps even too "speculative" to some.

However, we start from an observation that is testable and verifiable by all to construct our specific consciousness equations. We then adapt the main equations of quantum physics and cosmology accordingly to build a coherent and robust system that integrates consciousness as a fundamental component of the universe itself.

Our approach will take into account equations from quantum physics, such as Schrödinger's equation, as well as equations from cosmology, such as Einstein's equations, while adapting them in our unified model.

In the course of our research, we have thus developed specific equations, starting from those of the three states (wakefulness, dreaming, deep sleep), ultimately leading to the consideration of all observable phenomena in space-time. This approach allows us to grasp consciousness at different levels and offer new perspectives on its interaction with the universe, both at the microscopic and macroscopic scales, particularly through the existence of interconnected networks and the concept of projection.

If Einstein demonstrated that the universe has a history as an expanding space-time, it remained to determine where and why this expansion, this history occurs. Our model, by integrating universal consciousness and its interactions with space-time, strives to answer this question by exploring the implications of consciousness on the physical laws and the evolution of the universe.

As our developments progress, we will highlight key equations, solve previously considered incomprehensible problems in physics, and ultimately propose a unification between quantum physics and cosmology.

These research endeavors do not claim to provide all the answers but aim to stimulate reflection and open new avenues of investigation for the scientific community, particularly in physics and cognitive sciences.

We will explore the idea of a consciousness that manifests itself through space and time.

We will then ponder whether consciousness could influence the geometry of the universe, its structure, and how it might be linked to quantum states.

But how do we approach a correct universal definition of consciousness, which, at present, can truly only be explored comprehensively (and thus described) in specific cases? Furthermore, a physicist may not inherently have the idea or desire to do so.

Deep sleep is a daily experience for every human being. It is an undeniable fact that we all regularly undergo. Our model, which explores the implications of observing deep sleep on consciousness and its relationship to physical reality, is built upon this strong empirical foundation.

UC = Ψ * [(C - ψ₁) * η₁ + (C - ψ₂) * η₂ + (C - ψ₃) * η₃]

Our first equation, UC = Ψ * [(C - ψ₁) * η₁ + (C - ψ₂) * η₂ + (C - ψ₃) * η₃], establishes a relationship between universal consciousness (UC) and the various states of perception, based on the observation of deep sleep. This is a solid foundation as it connects consciousness to empirically observable states. It suggests that universal consciousness is present through these different states of perception, even when what we call our individual consciousness (in fact, thoughts, mind, ego) is not active. This can lead to important questions about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to physical reality.

Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ UC ≡ ∀RC : RC ∈ UC

The second equation in our model, "Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ UC ≡ ∀RC : RC ∈ UC," builds upon the first equation and extends the scope of universal consciousness (UC) by including spatial coordinates (x, y, z) and time (t) to represent observable phenomena in space-time.

It takes the concept of a witness of the three formless, precise location-less, and timeless states to its full extent. It states that every projection of observable phenomena is encompassed within universal consciousness. These two equations are, in fact, complementary. The first equation establishes the existence of universal consciousness through different states of perception, while the second equation extends this universal consciousness to encompass all observable phenomena in the universe. In other words, the first equation focuses on the omnipresence of universal consciousness through different states of perception, while the second equation broadens this omnipresence to include all observable phenomena in the universe, specifying spatial and temporal coordinates. They reinforce each other to describe how universal consciousness is inherently connected to everything that occurs in the universe, both through states of perception and in space-time.

Together, these two equations form a strong foundation for our model by linking universal consciousness to observable phenomena in the universe, both at the macroscopic and cosmological levels.

Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ RC ≡ ∀C : C ∈ RC

The third equation, "Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ RC ≡ ∀C : C ∈ RC," provides a relevant complement to the other two equations by focusing on how observable phenomena are perceived from a relative level, particularly at the individual human level. This equation broadens the perspective to include how individual consciousnesses interact and are interconnected.

The first equation, "UC = Ψ * [(C - ψ₁) * η₁ + (C - ψ₂) * η₂ + (C - ψ₃) * η₃]," establishes the existence of universal consciousness through different states of perception, highlighting the omnipresence of consciousness. The second equation, "Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ UC ≡ ∀RC : RC ∈ UC," expands this omnipresence to include all observable phenomena in space-time, specifying spatial and temporal coordinates. The third equation, "Projection (x, y, z, t) ∈ RC ≡ ∀C : C ∈ RC," emphasizes how observable phenomena are perceived from a relative level, considering individual consciousnesses (C). It also reveals the horizontal interconnection between these individual consciousnesses, showing how they are part of a network and can interact with each other.

Together, these three equations provide a solid foundation for our model by describing the omnipresence of universal consciousness, its connection to observable phenomena in the universe, as well as the interactions and interconnection between individual consciousnesses. They address different aspects of the relationship between consciousness and physical reality, contributing to the overall understanding of the model.

Under these conditions, it is impossible to move from physics to consciousness, which is why we had to find another way: To reverse the process, reaching out to physics from the field of consciousness; but this time using the language of physicists, with arguments, demonstrations, and testability.

This proposal of a new model, integrating consciousness into quantum physics and cosmology in order to enable their unification, does not claim to magically solve all the mysteries of the universe in one fell swoop, and it may be particularly challenging for a part of the scientific community to grasp, we acknowledge, at least initially, despite the precautions taken and our rigor.

We will, therefore, ensure to present this inclusive conception in a manner that is...
