Spin as Primordial Self-Referential Process Driving Quantum Mechanics, Spacetime Dynamics and Consciousness
We have recently theorized that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum mechanical spin since said spin is embedded in the microscopic structure of spacetime and is more fundamental than spacetime itself, that is, spin is the “mind-pixel.” Applying these ideas to the particular structures and dynamics of the brain, we have developed a qualitative model of quantum consciousness. In this paper, we express our fundamental view that spin is a primordial self-referential process driving quantum mechanics, spacetime dynamics and consciousness. To justify such a view, we will draw support from existing literatures, discuss from a reductionist perspective the essential properties said spin should possess as mind-pixel and explore further the nature of spin to see whether said properties are present. Our conclusion is that these properties are indeed endowed to spin by Nature. One of the implications from our fundamental view is that the probabilistic structure of quantum mechanics is due to the self-referential collapse of spin state that is contextual, non-local, non-computable and irreversible. Therefore, a complete theory of the self-referential spin process is necessarily semantic, that is, it should be based on internally meaningful information
Neutrosophic Dialogues
Neutrosophy is a theory developed by Florentin Smarandache as a generalization of dialectics. This theory considers every notion or idea together with its opposite or negation and the spectrum of "neutralities" (i.e. notions or ideas located between the two extremes, supporting neither nor ). The and ideas together are referred to as . The theory proves that every idea tends to be neutralized and balanced by and ideas - as a state of equilibrium.
In this book a dialogue or bridge between two opposite cultures, Est (Bhuddism) and West (Neutrosophy), is presented.
Therefore, neutrosophy can be regarded as a generalization of dialectics, the last one unites the contraries only, without any consideration to neutralities in between
A Cantorian Superfluid Vortex and the Quantization of Planetary Motion (Apeiron, vol.11, no.1, january 2004)
This article suggests a preliminary version of a Cantorian superfluid vortex hypothesis as a plausible model of nonlinear cosmology. Though some parts of the proposed theory resemble several elements of what have been proposed by Consoli (2000, 2002), Gibson (1999), Nottale (1996, 1997, 2001, 2002a), and Winterberg (2002b), it seems such a Cantorian superfluid vortex model instead of superfluid or vortex theory alone has never been proposed before.
Implications of the proposed theory will be discussed subsequently, including prediction of some new outer planets in solar system beyond Pluto orbit. Therefore further observational data is recommended to falsify or verify these predictions. If the proposed hypothesis corresponds to the observed facts, then it could be used to solve certain unsolved problems, such as gravitation instability, clustering, vorticity and void formation in galaxies, and the distribution of planet orbits both in solar system and also exoplanets
Glaube und Naturwissenschaft - die verlorene Harmonie
Christliche Theologie und Physik haben unterschiedliche Ansichten über das Alter des Universums, der Erde und über Einzelheiten anderer historischer Ereignisse. Dies ist zweifellos ein ernstes Hindernis für ein harmonisches Verhältnis beider. Viel ernster ist jedoch der Unterschied zwischen den beiden erkenntnistheoretischen Klimata. Das erkenntnistheoretische Klima der Theologie ist ”hell”, denn sie stützt sich auf den gesunden Menschenverstand. Demgegenüber ist das erkenntnistheoretische Klima der Physik ”dunkel”, insoweit es vom gesunden Menschenverstand abweicht. Das Ziel des Artikels ist es zu betonen, dass es wichtig ist, diesen Unterschied zu thematisieren
Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory
A novel theory of consciousness is proposed in this paper. We postulate that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum spin since the latter is the origin of quantum effects in both Bohm and Hestenes quantum formulism and a fundamental quantum process associated with the structure of space-time. That is, spin is the “mind-pixel.” The unity of mind is achieved by entanglement of the mind-pixels. Applying these ideas to the particular structures and dynamics of the brain, we theorize that human brain works as follows: Through action potential modulated nuclear spin interactions and paramagnetic O2/NO driven activations, the nuclear spins inside neural membranes and proteins form various entangled quantum states some of which survive decoherence through quantum Zeno effects or in decoherence-free subspaces and then collapse contextually via irreversible and non-computable means producing consciousness and, in turn, the collective spin dynamics associated with said collapses have effects through spin chemistry on classical neural activities thus influencing the neural networks of the brain. Our proposal calls for extension of associative encoding of neural memories to the dynamical structures of neural membranes and proteins. Thus, according our theory, the nuclear spin ensembles are the “mind-screen” with nuclear spins as its pixels, the neural membranes and proteins are the mind-screen and memory matrices, and the biologically available paramagnetic species such as O2 and NO are pixel-activating agents. Together, they form the neural substrates of consciousness. We also present supporting evidence and make important predictions. We stress that our theory is experimentally verifiable with present technologies. Further, experimental realizations of intra-/inter-molecular nuclear spin coherence and entanglement, macroscopic entanglement of spin ensembles and NMR quantum computation, all in room temperatures, strongly suggest the possibility of a spin-mediated mind
Tro och Naturvetenskap - den förlorade harmonin
In Christian Theology, on the one hand, and Physics, on the other, exist different views about the age of the universe, the age of the earth, and about particularities of other historical events. Obviously, this is a serious obstacle for a harmonious relationship between both. Much more serious, however, is the difference between the respective epistemological climates. The epistemological climate of Theology is ”luminous” because it relies on common sense. On the contrary, the epistemological climate of Physics is ”dark”, insofar it deviates from common sense. The goal of the article is to emphasize the importance of addressing that difference. The text is in Swedish

ZĪMES anatomija (in Latvian) The Anatomy of ZIME (in English)
Kas ir ZĪME?
ZĪME ir datu kopu standartizēta grafiska reprezentācija. ZĪME sastāv no diviem grafiskiem elementiem: (1) Sieta elementa un (2) Koda elementa. Sieta elementu konfigurācija ir nemainīga. Koda elementu konfigurācija mainās saskaņā ar ievadītajiem datiem.
The Anatomy of ZIME
What is ZIME? ZIME is a standardized graphical representation of data sets. ZIME is built of two graphical elements: (1) Sieve element and (2) Code element. Sieve elements have always the same configuration, while Code elements are configured according to the input data
TGD Inspired Theory of Consciousness
The basic ideas and implications of TGD inspired theory of consciousness are briefly summarized. The notions of quantum jump and self can be unified in the recent formulation of TGD relying on dark matter hierarchy characterized by increasing values of Planck constant. Negentropy Maximization Principle serves as a basic variational principle for the dynamics of quantum jump. The new view about the relation of geometric and subjective time leads to a new view about memory and intentional action. The quantum measurement theory based on finite measurement resolution and realized in terms of hyper-finite factors of type II1 justifies the notions of sharing of mental images and stereo-consciousness deduced earlier on basis of quantum classical correspondence. Qualia reduce to quantum number increments associated with quantum jump. Self-referentiality of consciousness can be understood from quantum classical correspondence implying a symbolic representation of contents of consciousness at space-time level updated in each quantum jump. p-Adic physics provides space-time correlates for cognition and intentionality
