High Energy And Low Energy Physics With Respect To Consciousness

[QuantumTantrum]

The Geometry of Consciousness

So what model of physics best suits consciousness? Some people can argue probably many types of models - some of course, argue there are none. I stipulate a new way to view consciousness and such a model is actually built from a different question - one which asks the question, which many scientists have, ''does consciousness require an energy?''

Many people will find that quite an easy question to ask but the context I am meaning it may not seem so clear. For instance, those who believe in a fully working theory of consciousness from the classical dynamics of neurons will argue that everytime a neuron fires it will require an energy. This much is true, but what about consciousness in terms of high energy physics?

Fred Alan Wolf postulates, even to this day that consciousness arose from the big bang, but I do not share his contentions. By using what is called Geometrogenesis (the study of the emergence of geometry in a universe) I can model consciousness to almost perfect accuracy when and were consciousness makes it's appearance and I am afraid that it has no primordial (big bang) appearance at all.

To answer this question, we should ask first of all, is consciousness a high-energy phenomenon, or a low energy phenomenon?

Believe it or not, but at first glance this question might seem impossible to try and prove. However I can show using Geometrodynamics, the study of the emergence of geometry in a vacuum can provide some insights to these questions surrounding consciousness. 

I now realize however, that if consciousness was a geometrodynamical phenomenon that any of the elements that go with high energy physics cannot be applied to consciousness. A quick schematic of the thoughts brought forth include:

That consciousness is a low energy phenomenon. It is concerned with topics such as locality, translational and relational subsystems. We can talk about Geometry and we may be allowed to invoke the dimension of time because of consciousness itself. And of course, possibly most important of all, but low energy physics is attributed to matter - and as we are all usually quite a aware of, matter and consciousness are interconnected strongly. The world of locality arising from consciousness seems like a matter of fact, since we are local in measurements from this phenomenon we call perception.

Is what I wrote when speculating on the similarities between low energy phenomena and high energy phenomena, which in regards to the latter here, I had to say:

High energy phenomena might include the big bang. No locality. No subsystems and not relational. It is attributed to permutation symmetries as well.

So as far as we are aware, consciousness is a late phenomena of the universe concerned completely as far as we are aware, of events located in the low energy epoch. So it seems, using the categories of the low energy phenomenon, we can actually fit consciousness in to a very neat accurate picture. 

For instance, locality is very significant to the human being. Because of some local principle of consciousness, we can experience subjective feelings and subjective time delays. Time is a local phenomenon after all. 

We can speak of subsystems, which if the mind exists in space must be in some mathematical sense a subspace. The low energy epoch invokes the idea of geometry in the vacuum and it seems that consciousness ''tunes'' into reality with the understanding that the vacuum needs to be a three dimensional object (whether it has a forth dimension is debatable). Still, it must be noted that there is a serious unanswered question in physics, such as how the brain actually takes a two dimensional object and recasts it into the three dimensional phenom known as perception?

And has been noted, most importantly the low energy range includes the appearance of matter itself. This low energy epoch means the appearance of consciousness itself then, since consciousness without matter is folly, and so consciousenss without energy must be equally reject. 

So in conclusion, it must be drawn that by no mere speculation but by a matter of relating consciousness to a model which best fits, shows us that consciousness will require some energy. It does afterall, fit into the low energy epoch so fantastically well. This is actually the first kind of QM model of consciousness of it's kind.
