Quantum theory of time perception: phases,clocks and quantum algebra
arXiv Preprint Archive May 1, 2017 Rukhsan Ul Haq, Shalini Harkar
Time perception is a fundamental aspect of human consciousness, yet time remains paradoxical in physics. This theoretical paper develops an algebraic framework for understanding time perception, finding that quantum theory offers a formalism that captures essential features of how the human mind perceives time. The authors extend this formalism to explore the nature of time itself, connecting their approach to prior work. Inspired by Hamilton's view of algebra as the science of pure time, the work incorporates Kauffman's iterant algebra, which links time to underlying recursions and oscillations. The paper aims to stimulate further investigation into the algebra of time and time perception.
