Please build on “entangled”. In Stuart Kauffman and Andre Roli,”What is Consciousness?”, J. Linnean Society 2023, we explore how humans can carry out multistep jury-rigging. Here there are no “local clues” that one is improving. One needs somehow to “find” or “glimpse" the total solution because no steps are deductive. Andrea and I find ourselves suggesting that mind is quantum, entangles with the world, then “I” collapse the wave function and experience the single state as a qualia. It may work. Dean Radin and colleagues have data that a human by “trying” can alter the outcome of the two slit experiment. The effect is weak, but summed over 24 experiments that data stand at 6.49 sigma. Mind may play a role in the becoming of the universe.

<br>
Indeed one can formulate “quantum logic” without quantum
theory.
<div> One way is to incorporate the notion of
superposition in the logic so that A v B is a superposition
of states from A and from B.
</div>
<div> This can be axiomatized or one can use models
such as vector spaces or lattices that exhibit the
appropriate properties.
</div>
<div> For example, let V be a vector space over a
field F with an inner product structure <a|b> for
vectors a and b in V.
</div>
<div> Consider the collection L of subspaces of V.
</div>
<div> If A and B are subspaces of V, define ~A to be
the orthogonal complement of A with respect to the inner
product on V.
</div>
<div> Let A v B denote the subspace spanned by A and
B.
</div>
<div> Let A ^ B denote the intersection of the
subspaces A and B.
</div>
<div> Thus L is closed under v and ^ and ~.
</div>
<div> You can then verify that
</div>
<div> A v ~A = V
</div>
<div> A ^ ~A = 0 (the 0 subspace)
</div>
<div> ~ ~A = A
</div>
<div> The distributive law does not hold.
</div>
<div> Such a structure gives a quantum physical logic
when F is the complex numbers, but can be used as a
non-distributive logic in wider contexts.
</div>
<div> The same is the case for various lattice
models.
</div>
<div>

<div> With breathing the subject
becomes much more interesting indeed.
Particularly if we want to be in control of

1. My take on the
