Проблема сознания и квантовые модели психики

Aleksandr Bukalov

It is a review of the theories for mentality and consciousness. The holographic model of thinking including mental functions by C. G. Jung–A.Augustinuvichute is proposed. It is shown that neural structures cannot provide observable mental phenomena and a consciousness phenomenon. The quantum model of a physical substratum of the mentality, consisting from boze- and a fermi-condensate of easy fundamental particles, is desctibed. Studying of the quantum base of consciousness will give the chance to create new quantum computers, under the performances coming nearer to possibilities of human thinking.

Presence and Reality: An Option to Specify Panpsychism?

Georg Franck

Panpsychism is the doctrine that mind is a fundamental feature of the world, existing throughout the universe. One problem with panpsychism is that it is a purely theoretical concept so far. For progress towards an operationalization of the idea, this paper suggests to make use of an ontological dierence involved in the mind-matter distinction. The mode in which mental phenomena exist is called presence. The mode in which matter and radiation exist is called reality. Physical theory disregards presence in both the form of mental presence and the form of the temporal present. In contrast to mental presence, the temporal present is objective in the perspective of the third person. This relative kind of objectivity waits to be utilized for a hypothesis of how the mental and the physical are interrelated. In order to do so, this paper translates the mind-matter distinction into the distinction between mental and physical time and addresses the problem that panpsychism tries to attack head-on in these temporal terms. There are, in particular, two issues thus getting involved: (1) discussions about a time observable and (2) the quantum Zeno eect.
