A Model of How Matter Produces Qualitative Perception

¹ Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA, USA

Abstract

A model of the way subjective experience arises in matter is proposed, beginning with a brief history of the mind/body problem and proceeding to describe how quantum physics has made modest in roads into an in-depth account. The promise quantum biology holds for developing neuroscientific theory is drawn to its logical conclusions, establishing the preliminaries of a comprehensive paradigm for explaining basic elements of perception and how they give rise to full-fledged consciousness.
