Embodied observations from an intrinsic perspective can entail quantumdynamics

Quote:After centuries of research, how subjective experience relates to physical phenomena remains unclear. Recent strategies attempt to identify the physical correlates of experience. Less studied is how scientists eliminate the “spurious” aspects of their subjective experience to establish an “objective” science. Here we model scientists doing science. This entails a dynamics formally analogous to quantum dynamics. The analogue of Planck’s constant is related to the process of observation. This reverse-engineering of science suggests that some “non-spurious” aspects of experience remain: embodiment and the mere capacity to observe from an intrinsic perspective. A relational view emerges: every experience has a physical correlate and every physical phenomenon is an experience for “someone”. This may help bridge the explanatory gap and hints at non-dual modes of experience.


Something for our more physicist inclined friends - I liked what I was able to grasp...
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
