The Emergence of Mind as a Quantum Field Phenomenon
J Shashi Kiran Reddy1 , Contzen Pereira
Abstract
A ‘field’ according to quantum pilot-wave theory (Bush 2015) and quantum field theory (QFT) (Griffiths 2009)
when applied to the working of the universe is a fluid that is spread across the universe with a value taken in that
space which can change in time. New observations in the fields of quantum fluid mechanics, artificial intelligence
(AI) and deep learning in machines are providing us novel insights into how quantum processing, memory creation
and storage work using the laws that governs the quantum world and quantum field theories. Such an
understanding can be extrapolated to the workings of the mind to see if similar processes underlie the functioning
of living systems. This paper hypothesizes that the construct of the mind is the resultant of chaotic system of
interacting subatomic fields driven by force fields that intersperse with the quantum vacuum; a mechanism which
has not yet been fully understood. We propose that this integrated phenomenon also gives rise to the subtle
mechanisms that help in the formation of memories and also the structures which store these memories as
reservoirs. The future of our evolution is the mind which evolves in these boundless intermingling quantum fields
and their force fields within the quantum vacuum. With computers getting intelligent we are instantaneously but
naively evolving our minds, and in the future, working together with these intelligent machines will augment it
further. In fact, the design and working of these AI systems are resultant of the proof of the intelligence of conscious
mind. This way the working of mind is always superior to those of the artificial systems that emerge from it.
