Why Classical Mechanics Cannot Naturally Accommodate Consciousness But Quantum Mechanics Can.

Quantum Physics 2016-09-08 v1

Abstract

It is argued on the basis of certain mathematical characteristics that classical mechanics is not constitutionally suited to accomodate consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics is. These mathematical characteristics pertain to the nature of the information represented in the state of the brain, and the way this information enters into the dynamics.
