Some Macroscopic Applications of Georgiev’s Quantum Information Model
Paul Bessler
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to review a recently published model of quantum neuroscience in which it is proposed that
consciousness and free will can be explained by directly identifying consciousness with quantum entanglement and
directly identifying free will with the objective reduction of a quantum entangled system. In the second part of the
paper, the model is applied to two examples of neurological processing which are difficult to explain in the context of a
model that denies the existence of free will, namely task set selection and selective attention. In both cases, it is shown
that, if the two possible outcomes of a process are modeled as a single quantum entangled network, the selection of
one outcome or the other can be explained by the free will that is inherent in the objective reduction of the network.
