In this paper, we extend our previous discussion on ontological determinism, non-locality and quantum mechanics to that of the Sarfatti post-quantum mechanics perspective. We examine the nature of quantum equilibrium and non-equilibrium and uncertainty following the Sarfatti description of this theoretical development, which serves to extend the statistical linear unitary quantum mechanics for closed systems to a locally-retrocausal, non-statistical, non-linear, non-unitary theory for open systems. We discuss how the Bohmian quantum potential has a dependence upon the position of its Bell beable and how Complexity mathematics describes the self-organizing feedback between the quantum potential and its beable allowing nonlocal communication.

A completely non-statistical non-linear non-unitary framework in which "God does not play dice ..." (Einstein) that describes the physical foundations of consciousness is presented for the first time. At its core is the insight that the missing link between current physical descriptions of reality and a credible physical framework for consciousness is provided by post-quantum mechanics (PQM): the extension of statistical linear unitary quantum mechanics for closed systems to a locally-retrocausal[i] non-statistical non-linear non-unitary theory for open systems through the introduction of a back-reaction potential and its implications. PQM is to orthodox QM as General Relativity (GR) is to Special Relativity (SR). PQM and GR both share the same metaphysical organizing principle that one-way actions without a compensating reaction or back-reaction means an incompleteness in the theoretical model leaving out important physical phenomena. We gleaned the final piece in the puzzle of how consciousness arises from the material world from a result relating to long range collective excitations in microtubules described by Stuart Hameroff in a recent Fetzer Foundation conference in London. Herbert Fröhlich suggested that almost any many-particle system when properly pumped far off thermodynamic equilibrium can be put into a robust macro-quantum coherent state immune from environmental decoherence. Indeed, we suggest that all life forms are an example of Frohlich coherence that is intimately connected with locally-retrocausal PQM back-reaction's violation of the de Broglie guidance equation that was assumed by Bohm in his 1952 pilot wave theory. Using nature as a guide combined with nano-technology points the way to the construction of naturally conscious artificial intelligence machines capable of hacking into current-day quantum cryptographic networks. Furthermore, one can imagine attaining the transhumanist agenda. For example, the consciousness of a genius like Stephen Hawking could be uploaded to the post-quantum Cloud and then downloaded to a healthy body or android.

The predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be resolved with a completely classical view of the world. In particular, the statistics of space-like separated \nmeasurements on entangled quantum systems violate a Bell inequality [Bell1964]. \nWe put forward a computational perspective on a broad class of Bell tests that study correlators, or the statistics of joint measurement outcomes. We associate \nparticular maps, or functions to particular theories. The violation of a Bell \ninequality then implies the ability to perform some functions, or computations \nthat classical, or more generally, local hidden variable (LHV) theories cannot. \nWe derive an in�finite class of Bell inequalities that establish a link to so-called "non-local games" [Cleve2004]. We then make the connection between \nRaussendorf and Briegel's formulation of Measurement-based Quantum Computing (MBQC) [Raussendorf2001], and these non-local games. Not only can we show that a quantum violation implies a computational advantage in this model, \nwe show that adaptive measurements are required to perform all quantum computations. \nFinally, we explore post-selection of data in Bell tests from both a practical and \nconceptual point-of-view, with particular consideration to so-called "loopholes". \nLoopholes allow LHV theories to simulate quantum correlations through post-selection. \nWe give a computational description of how loopholes can emerge in diff�erent post-selection scenarios. This motivates us to �find a form of post-selection \nthat does not lead to loopholes. Central again to this discussion is the \ndescription of LHV theories in terms of computations. \nInterestingly, quantum correlators can be made more "non-classical" with this \nloophole-free post-selection. This method of post-selection also can simulate \ninformation processing tasks, such as MBQC, that have time-like separated components. \nThis opens up new avenues for the study of time-like tasks studied \nwithin the space-like separated scenario of the Bell test.
