Summary
Quantum mechanics meets consciousness in this fascinating exploration of how we perceive reality. The work bridges physics and psychology, suggesting our conscious experience of the classical world exists alongside quantum superpositions. Drawing from Nietzsche, Jung, and Pauli's ideas, it proposes that reality has both physical and psycho-physical aspects, unified through quantum mechanics and synchronicity.
Abstract
In this essay a quantum-dualistic, perspectival and synchronistic interpretation of quantum mechanics is further developed in which the classical world-from-decoherence which is perceived (decoherence) and the perceived world-in-consciousness which is classical (collapse) are not necessarily identified. Thus, Quantum Reality or "{\it unus mundus}" is seen as both i) a physical non-perspectival causal Reality where the quantum-to-classical transition is operated by decoherence, and as ii) a quantum linear superposition of all classical psycho-physical perspectival Realities which are governed by synchronicity as well as causality (corresponding to classical first-person observes who actually populate the world). This interpretation is termed the Nietzsche-Jung-Pauli interpretation and is a re-imagining of the Wigner-von Neumann interpretation which is also consistent with some reading of Bohr's quantum philosophy.
