Consciousness as Fundamental Physics: A Debate Without Mathematical Formalism — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: Panpsychism debate centers on whether consciousness is fundamental physics, but no mathematical formalism or quantitative prediction is presented in these sources. | MATH: None extracted — no equations, constants, or ratios appear in the listed findings. The only quantitative element is the arXiv reference (2011.14743v1) on science education outreach, which is unrelated to consciousness. | CONNECTION: No geometric harmony, base-60, or crystallographic structure is present. The term "quantum information panpsychism" (Faggin/D'Ariano) hints at information-theoretic foundations, but no specific mathematical structure (e.g., Hilbert space dimension, entropy bounds, or symmetry groups) is given in the search results. | DEPTH: 1 — These are philosophical/video sources with zero mathematical content. The debate is qualitative; no falsifiable equations, no constants, no ratios, no symmetry arguments. The only mathematically relevant claim (quantum information) lacks any formal specifi Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
