A Universal Field of Quantum-Consciousness is postulated for interpreting non-locality, without violating the laws of classical physics, by virtue of the inherent attribute of unity of the phenomenon of quantum-consciousness. By substantiating unity of quantum-consciousness, in terms of its contribution in the neuroscientific evolution of unity of human-consciousness, plausibility of the Universal Field of Quantum-Consciousness is explored as an ontological interface between the classical and quantum- physics.
The double-slit interference experiment has long been widely misinterpreted as "human consciousness directly causing wavefunction collapse". This view confuses physical measurement interaction with subjective conscious experience and deviates from the orthodox interpretation of modern quantum mechanics. Starting from the double-slit experiment, this paper distinguishes the real physical mechanism of wavefunction collapse and points out that the disappearance of interference fringes originates from the physical coupling between measuring devices and microscopic particles as well as environmental decoherence, which has no direct causal relationship with conscious observation. On this basis, this paper proposes a self-consistent unified framework of consciousness and quantum universe: consciousness is not the trigger of collapse, but the ontological source of the entire quantum possibility universe. Through the Yang-Mills mass gap and symmetry breaking mechanism, consciousness condenses the potential quantum field into a material universe with mass, structure and stable dynamics. The biological brain acts as a localized carrier of consciousness, enabling the overall consciousness to observe and experience its own creation from a limited perspective, forming a closed loop of "consciousness creation—self-observation—self-cognition". This paper corrects systematic biases in popular science and public perception, and provides a rigorous and unified path for understanding the real role of consciousness in the quantum universe.
Building on John Archibald Wheeler's "participatory universe" and the Integrated Consciousness Studies (ICS) framework, this paper proposes that the fine structure constant (
α≈1/137) is the fundamental parameter governing the interface between consciousness and the electromagnetic field. We argue that the universe is not an observer-independent machine, but a self-actualizing system that requires conscious observation to transition from quantum potentiality to classical reality. This "Observer Imperative" explains the fine-tuning of physical constants:
α is precisely tuned to the value that allows consciousness to interact with and sustain a stable material world. This framework suggests that human agency is not an accident of evolution, but a constitutional necessity for the existence of the cosmos itself.
