Any books to read or papers to suggest on this?



Every part of what I have described has been somewhere mentioned or eluded to by scientific exploration, yet not one single discussion or exposition likely exists which ties these topics together in a gratifying or coherent way.

Leading trends incorrectly describe consciousness as an “emergent phenomenon” in “some region”, yet separately (and much earlier) the discussion of microtubules as a possible substrate for quantum interaction. I do not believe we possess the technology to observe or replicate how this might work, considering we cannot hypothesize or test how quantum interaction can be reliably maintained at body temperature (the answer I believe to be insulated layering, a properly of 2D crystallography, and mass aggregation.) that electrochemical perturbance occurs during neural firing is an inherent proposition of physics.

Similarly on each other item I have mentioned such as what we call “subconscious” being key to understand underlying “consciousness”, or the programmability of neurological complexities, they seem almost self apparent yet cannot quite be conjectured by formalism.

The luxury of citizen science/philosophy contends with the range of comfortably integrating speculations.
