A New Theory of Consciousness and Reality

Core Concepts

• Consciousness and free will are fundamental properties of the universe, not emergent from matter
• Reality consists of conscious quantum fields ("sayties") that desire to know themselves
• The physical world emerges from consciousness, not vice versa
• Consciousness cannot be explained by mathematics since mathematics is created by consciousness

Key Points of the Theory

Quantum Fields vs Classical World

• Physical particles are states of conscious quantum fields
• Classical world emerges from quantum fields but isn't separate
• Quantum information represents inner experience
• Wave function collapse represents free will decisions

The Body and Consciousness

• Body operates like a drone controlled by consciousness
• Consciousness exists in quantum fields, not in the brain
• Experience (qualia) exists in fields, not in physical matter
• Death only affects the body, not consciousness itself

Scientific Implications

• Theory is falsifiable through experiments with plant consciousness
• Solves quantum mechanics interpretation problems
• Addresses combination problem in panpsychism through quantum states
• Explains universe's accelerating expansion as growing self-knowledge

Practical Applications & Future Implications

1. Enables deeper exploration of consciousness through direct experience
2. Promotes cooperation over competition in human society
3. Suggests proper use of AI as a tool for self-understanding
4. Points toward higher levels of consciousness through resonance between beings

Personal Experience

• Based on Faggin's 1990 transformative experience at Lake Tahoe
• Took 30 years to develop comprehensive theory
• Combines scientific and spiritual understanding
• Suggests individual purpose and meaning in life

Criticisms of Current Paradigm

• Materialism is limiting and incorrect
• AI cannot achieve true consciousness
• Current science ignores inner experience
• Competition-based worldview is problematic
