The Subjective Interpretation of Quantum Physics
Quentin Ruyant
Abstract
This paper proposes a new interpretation of quantum physics that encompasses the
first‐person and third‐person perspective and provides a solution to the mind‐body
problem. First, a definition of phenomenal existence and a simple metaphysical
model of mind are derived from the principles of irreducibility, distinction and
persistence. Then it is shown that this process of existence can be associated, within
physical representation, with the wave function collapse of quantum physics. A new
interpretation of quantum physics, close to the relational interpretation, follows and
the relational nature of our scientific knowledge is emphasized. Finally, in light of this
interpretation, I analyze the differences between plain existence and consciousness
and determine the physical condition for emergence of the latter. This view is
confronted with neuroscientific models of consciousness
