Attention, Intention, and Will in Quantum Physics

TL;DR

This paper proposes a tripartite quantum process involving local deterministic, question-posing, and answer-picking stages, which reduces to classical physics in the limit of zero Planck's constant, highlighting the role of mind in quantum measurement.

Contribution

It introduces a novel tripartite quantum framework that explicitly incorporates the roles of attention, intention, and will in quantum processes, bridging quantum mechanics and consciousness.

Findings

Quantum process decomposes into three stages: Schroedinger, Heisenberg, and Dirac.

In the classical limit, the three processes unify into a single deterministic process.

The framework suggests a role for mind in quantum measurement and classical emergence.

Abstract

The need for a self-observing quantum system to pose questions leads to a tripartite quantum process involving a Schroedinger process that is local deterministic, a Heisenberg process that poses the question, and a Dirac process that picks the answer. In the classical limit where Planck's constant is set to zero these three processes reduce to one single deterministic classical process: the fine structure wherein lies the effect of mind upon matter is obliterated.
