Towards a Theory of Everything Part III Introduction of Consciousness in Loop Quantum Gravity and String Theory and Unification of Experiences with Fundamental Forces
Ram Lakhan Pandey Vimal
Abstract
Theory of everything must include consciousness. In this article, we focus on
introducing the subjective experience (SE) aspect of consciousness in modern quantum
physics, namely, loop quantum gravity (LQG) and string theory by using the
methodology of examining invariance of these theories under the PE‐SE
transformations, where PEs (proto‐experiences) are precursors of SEs. In our dual‐
aspect‐dual‐mode PE‐SE framework, (i) each of strings, loops, elementary particles,
inert matter, or neural‐networks has physical (material) and mental aspects, and (ii)
there are three competing hypotheses: superposition based H1, superposition‐then‐
integration H2, and integration based H3 as discussed in Part I. In Part I and Part II of
this series of 3 articles, we introduced the SE aspect of consciousness in classical and
orthodox quantum physics, respectively, which are invariant under PE‐SE
transformations. In the current Part III, the critical components of LQG with Palatini
action appear invariant under this transformation. In string theory, for H1 and H2, we
quantitatively introduce the superposition of potential experiences (SEs/PEs) in the
mental aspect of bosonic and fermionic strings using the Polyakov action
