A Wave-Particle Theory of Conscious Awareness (A Philosophical Viewpoint): Mind, Machine & Morality - Is Experience a Quantum Field? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781068520860)

If we are to explain consciousness, at some point our explanation must come down to:

...thus X happens and, as we now see, full conscious experience must follow.

So we need to establish what X is, and what universal principles it relies on to make this work.

In this text we systematically and logically reverse-engineer and reconstruct the phenomena that make up consciousness. This approach involves a synthesis of physics and philosophy because, as the title suggests, we dig as deep as the quantum level to offer a solution to the traditional mind-body problem.
