Researcher can be contacted at justinbogner@outlook.com. I would greatly appreciate any insight, peer review, collaboration opportunities. Feel free to email.

This preprint bundle presents four integrated phenomenological studies on consciousness-quantum correlations using effective field theory (EFT) methodology. The framework explores neural coherence coupling to quantum field dynamics via a scalar substrate field, generating testable predictions with rigorous falsification criteria.

Core Components

• Lorentz-Covariant Formulation: Relativistic EFT with Källén-Lehmann representation, micro-causality proofs, and no-signalling verification.consciousness_quantum_lorentz_covariant.tex

• QCAP Protocol: EEG-gated Bell tests with saturating CHSH modifications S = 2√2[1 + αρ/(1+βρ)], sequential analysis for N=10^7 trials.quantum_consciousness_amplification_protocol.tex

• Substrate Fields: Unifies quantum measurement and dark sector (solitonic DM, quintessence DE) via Lagrangian ℒ = ½∂_μΨ∂^μΨ - V(Ψ) - κJ_obsΨ, with M_DM = βΛ^{3/4}.consciousness_quantum_substrate_fields.tex

• Observer EFT: Experimental channels (Bell tests, NV-centers, double-slit), RG analysis, and artifact controls.observer_quantum_eft_framework.tex

Methodological Highlights

Phenomenological approach brackets ontological claims, operationalizes coherence as ρ_obs = |⟨e^{i(φ₁-φ₂)}⟩| (EEG PLV), and uses Bayesian comparison (BF thresholds) for falsification quantum_consciousness_amplification_protocol.tex+3. Pre-registered protocols include sham controls and meta-analysis for ε < 5×10^{-4} nulls.
