Quantum General Relativistic Framework 5.x: Postulates on Quantum Evolution and Reduction with Retrocausality for Unconscious Matter.
Authors/Creators
Description
This is the fifth update for the quantum gravity framework project. Based on the first five papers, I finalize a three-set of fundamental postulates for understanding time, quantum reduction, and consciousness from quantum general relativistic concepts, within the canonical quantum gravity framework for unconscious matter. At the beginning, I review the history of quantum measurement research and the models and ideas proposed, in the context of the quantum gravity framework project. Then I introduce a new reduction theory that includes retrocausality and spontaneous reduction, and further concepts to include conscious and unconscious influence. The concept of classicum is introduced for the first time as an analog of quantum to understand reduction, and is used extensively in the second volume to discuss the possible nature of consciousness. Then I discuss in mathematical detail the three postulates in the quantum general relativistic framework. Toward the end, I discuss sample calculations and experimental verifications. I summarize various calculations done in the previous versions of the Quantum General Relativistic Framework. In the companion paper on the physical foundations of consciousness, complementary sets of principles are introduced to explain consciousness using the concepts in this paper. Further advancement of this project requires theoretical and experimental studies, which are discussed in this paper. It is noted that the proper analysis of quantum gravity predicts potential retrocausal effects. The mathematical formulation of retrocausality is discussed. Many of the words in this update are different from the previous versions.
