Since energy is proven to be of fundamental importance to all physical processes, would it not extend to the physical processes of neural communication? Could what we refer to as “consciousness,” a mental process, be describable in terms of physical processes? Energy organizes systems of stimuli in the physical world, which could mean what we think of as our ‘sentient awareness’ is more akin to the organization of some sort of neuro-chemical energy to form our human perceptions.

Though I do not think that our human minds have some tangential, conscious control over wave function collapse (von Neumann–Wigner interpretation), the possibility that we have an individual pull on the fabric of space time seems an unavoidable avenue in the fundamentals of our existence. Consciousness may not necessarily be the cause of any particular event, but it is inadvertently the creator of all events we are able to perceive. We experience stimuli from the physical world—stimuli that behaves according to certain rules, follows distinct patterns—and our perception of reality is literally created based on our perpetual synthesis of this stimuli into neuro-chemical responses. Our bodies are incredibly unique material manifestation of an energy that cannot be created or destroyed. Our brains are quantum computing devices, constantly working with the dual perspective of the two hemispheres to formulate a definition of individual realities relative to the collective experience.

All this stimuli, all these photons and electrons, operate in specific ways that make everything we can experience and describe possible. Randomness isn’t even random, it’s just chaos. Therefore, I declare “random, inexplicable” behavior, as well as how our consciousness operates on a fundamental level, my new frontier in our collective quest for knowledge. I want to delve more into the reasons the forefathers of quantum mechanics thought this could explain the “unconscious,” and why it hasn’t been done yet.
