Toy observer in unitary evolution: Histories, consciousness, and state reduction
Lutz Polley
For a toy version of a quantum system with a conscious observer, it is demonstrated that the many-worlds problem is solved by retreating into the conscious subspace of an entire ob…
Modelling an observer's branch of extremal consciousness
L. Polley
Extreme-order statistics is applied to the branches of an observer in a many-worlds framework. A unitary evolution operator for a step of time is constructed, generating pseudostoc…
Extreme-value statistics of dimensions determining an observer's branch of the world?
Lutz Polley
In a many-worlds framework, combining decoherent histories and extreme-value statistics, it is conjectured that the (matrix) dimension of the Hamiltonian processing records and mem…
"Measurement" by neuronal tunneling: Implications of Born's rule
L. Polley
A non-collapse scenario for ``conscious'' selection of a term from a superposition was proposed in quant-ph/0309166: thermally assisted tunneling of neuronal pore molecules. But ``…
"Measurement" as a neurophysical process: a hypothetical linear and deterministic scenario
L. Polley
Tunnel amplitudes of molecular configurations (like neuronal channel pores) may be very sensitive to thermal vibrations of the barrier width (vibration-assisted tunneling) resultin…
Spin 1/2 as propagation on a lattice with symmetries modulo gauge transformations
L. Polley
Relativistic spin 1/2, as represented by Susskind's 1977 discretization of the Dirac equation on a spatial lattice, is shown to follow from basic, not typically relativistic but es…
