Consciousness and Quantum Measurement.
[Preprint]
Abstract
A variant of the von Neumann-Wigner Interpretation is proposed. It does not make use of the familiar language of wave functions
and observers. Instead it pictures the state of the physical world as a vector in a Fock space and, therefore not, literally, a
function of any spacetime coordinates. And, rather than segregating consciousness into individual points of view (each carrying
with it a sense of its proper time), this model proposes only unitary states of consciousness, Q(t), where t represents a fiducial
time with respect to which both the state of the physical world and the state of consciousness evolve. This would seem to impose
a preferred Lorentz frame on the world. But it will be argued that no physical violations of relativity are engendered thereby.
