PROTO-EXPERIENCES AND SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCES: INTEGRATION OF CLASSICAL, QUANTUM, AND SUBQUANTUM CONCEPTS
Ram Lakhan, Pandey Vimal
In the previous issue of JIN (Vimal, 2008a), I hypothesized that elementary particles (strings, or fermions and bosons) have two aspects: (i) material aspect such as mass, charge, and spin and (ii) mental aspect such as elemental proto-experiences (PEs). PEs were conceptualized to be the properties of elementary particles and their interactions, which are composed of all types of irreducible fundamental subjective experiences (SEs)/PEs that are in superimposed form in elementary particles and in their interactions. That is, the classical view of ‘emergence ’ of SEs in neural-nets was unpacked in terms of quantum view of the superposition of fundamental SEs/PEs in elementary particles. This current article further unpacks the quantum view of superposition in terms of subquantum dual-aspect primal entities (bhutatmas). Bhutatmas are based RigVedic dual-aspect Adi-shiva primal entities, Bohm’s Implicate Order, and fractional quantum Hall effect. This subquantum concept appears to integrate eastern and western perspectives related to reductive and non-reductive metaphysical views, physics, psychophysics and neuroscience related to consciousness. However, this view leads to another type of subquantum explanatory gap: how it is possible that our SEs (such as happiness, sadness, painfulness, and similar SEs) were already present (a priori) in primal entities, whereas there is no shred of evidence that such SEs were conceived at the onset of universe.
