Nature of Reality: Observer, Consciousness & Fundamental Physics

The Nature of Quantum Reality: Physical Reality as a Creation of Consciousness (Part I) by Steven E. Kaufman

What quantum theory has revealed about the nature of reality has remained hidden in plain sight for almost one-hundred years because what quantum theory has revealed about the nature of reality cannot be comprehended in the context of the materialist model and conception of reality in which science presently operates, which materialist model places physical reality at the center of reality and Consciousness at the periphery, as a secondary or derivative reality. What this work will demonstrate, by explaining the heretofore inexplicable basis of the phenomena that lie at the heart of quantum theory, is that it is Consciousness rather than physical reality that lies at the center of reality, and that it is physical reality rather than Consciousness that is a secondary or derivative reality. Specifically, wave-particle duality, quantum uncertainty, quantum non-locality, the probabilistic nature of the wavefunction, and the collapse of the wavefunction, will all be shown to be phenomena that have as their basis the way in which the fundamental Reality of Consciousness, through relation to Itself, creates what it apprehends as physical reality. Part I of this series of three articles includes: Background; Introduction; and 1. Building a new model of reality. See http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/636

The Physicist's Dilemma: Ultimate Nature of Reality by James Kowall

In this article it is argued that the source of the observer's consciousness is not something that can be found in the physical reality of the observer's world, but only in the underlying reality that remains when everything in that physical reality disappears. That ultimate, underlying reality is the source of the observer's consciousness, but it can only be described as the void. See http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/632

Mesostratum: A Signal Transmission Modality by Alex Vary

A conceptual framework is described to illustrate the transcendent nature of the observer’s consciousness and its relation to the physical world. The proposed framework is based on deductions and information revealed primarily by waveform phenomena which are demonstrably transcendent. An essential feature of the framework is the mesostratum; a signal transmission modality. This paper suggests ways to access and explore the mesostratum.
