What if consciousness is not produced by the brain but coupled to a physical field?
A question that has fascinated me for a long time is whether consciousness
is actually produced by the brain or whether the brain could instead interact
with some deeper physical process.
In physics we already know many examples where macroscopic behavior
emerges from underlying field dynamics.
This made me wonder whether something similar could exist for biological
systems interacting with coherent quantum processes.
I recently explored this idea in more detail and tried to formulate a simple
theoretical model that allows multistability and dynamical coupling.
I would be very curious to hear critical thoughts from people here.
Is there any known reason why biological systems could not interact
with coherent quantum systems in principle?
