Holonomic brain theory is a branch of neuroscience investigating the idea that consciousness is formed by quantum effects in or between brain cells. Holonomic refers to representations in a Hilbert phase space defined by both spectral and space-time coordinates. [1]
Karl H. Pribram (/ ˈ p r aɪ b r æ m /; German: [ˈpʁiːbram]; February 25, 1919 – January 19, 2015) was a visionary neurosurgeon, neuroscientist and theoretical philosopher described by his peers as the “Einstein of Brain Science” [1] and the “Magellan of the Mind” for his groundbreaking research into the function and roles of the limbic system, frontal lobes, and temporal lobes ...
David Joseph Bohm FRS [1] (/ b oʊ m /; 20 December 1917 – 27 October 1992) was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century [2] and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.
Bohm emphasized the primary role of the implicate order's structure: [10] My attitude is that the mathematics of the quantum theory deals primarily with the structure of the implicate pre-space and with how an explicate order of space and time emerges from it, rather than with movements of physical entities, such as particles and fields. (This ...
While some other theories assert that consciousness emerges as the complexity of the computations performed by cerebral neurons increases, [4] [5] Orch OR posits that consciousness is based on non-computable quantum processing performed by qubits formed collectively on cellular microtubules, a process significantly amplified in the neurons.
In Bohm's interpretation, the (non-local) quantum potential constitutes an implicate (hidden) order which organizes a particle, and which may itself be the result of yet a further implicate order: a superimplicate order which organizes a field. [32] Nowadays Bohm's theory is considered to be one of many interpretations of quantum mechanics.
Louis de Broglie's early results on the pilot wave theory were presented in his thesis (1924) in the context of atomic orbitals where the waves are stationary.Early attempts to develop a general formulation for the dynamics of these guiding waves in terms of a relativistic wave equation were unsuccessful until in 1926 Schrödinger developed his non-relativistic wave equation.
It is generally argued that the Aharonov–Bohm effect illustrates the physicality of electromagnetic potentials, Φ and A, in quantum mechanics.Classically it was possible to argue that only the electromagnetic fields are physical, while the electromagnetic potentials are purely mathematical constructs, that due to gauge freedom are not even unique for a given electromagnetic field.
