10. Qualia, Free Will, and Photon Mediated Consciousness.pdf
This topic explores avant-garde theories of human consciousness that move beyond traditional mechanical models by integrating concepts from quantum physics and electromagnetism. The first section highlights Chris Clarke’s view that qualia and free will are irreducible properties emerging from the quantum entanglement between an observer and the world, suggesting that conscious choice involves shifting one’s internal frame of reference. The second half details Herms Romijn’s hypothesis that subjectivity is encoded in virtual photons, where the complex electromagnetic fields generated by dendritic trees serve as the physical carriers of mental experience. Ultimately, the source seeks to reconcile the subjective nature of the mind with the physical universe by proposing that biophotons and non-local connections form the fundamental infrastructure for perception, memory, and the unity of the self.

At the heart of your existence is a fundamental, unshakable fact: the feeling of being you. It’s the vivid redness of a sunset, the sharp sting of a memory, the simple awareness of reading these words. This inner world of subjective experience—what philosophers call consciousness—is the most familiar thing we know, yet it remains the greatest unsolved mystery in science.
The common assumption, reinforced for centuries, is that this inner life is simply a byproduct of complexity. We believe that if you arrange enough non-conscious bits of matter in just the right way—like the 86 billion neurons in the human brain—then consciousness somehow, magically, emerges. It’s a compelling story, but it’s one that struggles to explain how a physical brain can produce an immaterial feeling.
