Consciousness Emergent of Primary
Instead of forcing a choice between consciousness arising out of dead matter or a mystical primary substance, this approach proposes that individual consciousness is an emergent structure, while the physical process of light-matter energy exchange that enables it is fundamental and universal.
Just as a radio relies on electromagnetic waves to structure signal into music, the complex biology of the brain shapes underlying universal electromagnetic field dynamics into structured, subjective awareness.
A major puzzle of consciousness is why every individual has there own ‘moment of now’ experience with the passage of time that is always anchored to a localized "here and now." Physics offers a natural explanation for this:
The idea is, that Light has momentum and momentum is frame-dependent. Every physical system, every object or individual life form is absorbing and emitting light within a specific, localized reference frame.
The continuous absorption and re-emission of photons by matter marks the boundary where quantum potential collapses into actualized kinetic events—the physical definition of the present moment.
Because light travels at a finite speed (c), looking out into space is also looking back in time in all directions.
Therefore each individual life form is in the center of their own temporal reference frame in ‘the moment of now’ being able to look back in time in every direction at the beauty of the stars.
Within this process reality operates as a single universal continuum. Physics, chemistry, biological systems and conscious awareness are not separate layers of existence, but a unified temporal continuum.
Biological cell life does not invent new physics to experience awareness.
It acts as specialized, highly evolved structure that concentrate and organise the universe's fundamental energy-exchange process into a unified self-awareness.
Rather than consciousness appearing out of dead matter, individual awareness represents the most refined, temporal reference frame of a fundamental physical continuum.
In physics, a single photon-electron interaction (ΔE=hf) collapses a quantum probability wave at a precise, local point in space and time. However, the brain has no central "command centre" therefore the "moment of now" cannot be a single event occurring at a single point in space.
Instead, the subjective "Now" must be an emergent temporal window—a "constructed now"—born out of billions of photon-electron or wave-particle interactions synchronized across the entire brain. This theory can explain this because the process represents causality an emergent probabilistic future.
When we look at the redness of a beautiful sunset it is happening in real time. We don’t have to construct the concept of redness, it is there in the frequency of the photon energy exchange.
When you look at the night sky, the light waves that left a stars millions of years ago end their journey by collapsing into photons against the electrons in your eyes. In that exact photon-electron coupling a potential future becomes part of an actualized present moment, and you—the observer—are the localized reference frame in space where that moment in time unfolds.
In Quantum Atom Theory, time is not a back ground clock. Time is the continuous, irreversible conversion of EM waves into probabilistic potential photon oscillations forming kinetic events of what is actually happening in real time, here and now.
The same process is unfolding within the brain with the continuous exchange of bio-photons across the entire brain forming interference patterns.
At the most fundamental level this is a process of spherical symmetry forming and breaking. The spherical wave fronts form a two dimensional surface for the holographic Principle. Photon oscillations upon this two dimension boundary convert incoming sensory wave frequencies into a reconstructed conscious experience of reality.
The structure of the brain forms many layers of two dimensional surfaces in the form of cell membranes and cortical sheets covering the whole outer structure. Electric charge distributions across these two dimensional boundary membranes encode a three dimensional experience into conscious thought. These patterns form the potential for visualising things like past memory.
This is done by using metabolic energy to generate internal bio-photons and ion accelerations, driving wave-particle interactions across the three dimensional structure of the brain.
Consciousness is at the forefront of this process with our thoughts and dreams unfold in real time quantum-by-quantum, moment-by-moment.
This is because a sequence of wave patterns must undergo a unified phase collapse to form a single reference frame, the brain can only maintain one primary macro-state at a time.
Therefore we experience life moment by moment as an integral part of the process that forms causality, light, charge, and time with the characteristics of three dimensional space.
There is a link between Art, Poetry, Spirituality and Science and only by bringing these three together can we create a Sea of Beauty.
Is creation in the hand and eye of the beholder?

Quantum Atom Theory
When I create a work of art it takes energy and is a process over a period of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π. There is always uncertainty of how the art work will turn out ∆×∆p ≥h/4π the position of the lines and curves π on the canvas. Every movement I make will have to start at the quantum level and will have an uncertainty of momentum and position. Is this not Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle?
Modern physics is divided into two parts the quantum physics of probability and Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The only thing the two theories have in common is that they both approximate to Newtonian physics on an everyday scale. Only a hidden variable could explain the probability of quantum mechanics uniting physics. The problem is such a variable would have to affect all the matter of the Universe from its creation to the present day. In Quantum Atom Theory that variable is Time itself. We know that time is a variable because we have time dilation when an object accelerates towards the speed of light and also around objects of great mass.
Time moves at the speed of light and energy and mass slow it down to form their own spacetime geometry. The greater the mass or energy of an object the slower time will run for that object therefore the greater the energy the shorter the time period.
Quantum entanglement can be explained if light has spherical symmetry and the polarization of a photon remains the same for the whole surface of the sphere. When the spherical waves come in contact with electrons on the surface of an atom it will form photons. Each photon will have a unique position in space and time that will be part of the time continuum.
Time is continuously formed by the emission and absorption of light (EMR) from one atom to another forming the broken symmetry and geometry of spacetime.
In this theory we have wave-particle duality because light is a wave moving through space and a particle when it comes in contact with an electron on the surface of an atom. It then forms a photon of quantized energy representing a moment in time. This will form a future wave-function of probability as part of the continuum of time forming the geometry or curvature of spacetime.
The equations of physics represent one geometrical process
An alternative to Hugh Everett parallel universes and the multiple dimension of String Theory
In this theory the parallel universes of Hugh Everett and the multiple dimension of String Theory are just individual reference frames within our one three dimensional Universe.
In the mathematics of Hugh Everett’s Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics each parallel universe is at right-angles to the other. In this theory this mathematics represents electric fields being at right-angles to magnetic fields. The continuous flow of electromagnetic radiating energy (light) is forming an infinity of changing reference frames at every degree and angle of spacetime.
Therefore we have a dynamic Universe of continuous change or creation that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual creating our own future!
We can manipulate this process creating electricity and modern electronics therefore moving large amounts of information over large areas in short time periods.
Quantum Entanglement
The polarization of the photons will be the same for the entire surface of the light sphere. The photon will have opposite spin on opposite sides of the light sphere however great the distance between them becomes. When the wave function collapses it will represent the same moment in time for the entire wave front. This is possible because light is a universal constant and is not relative to the observer or the source.

An analogy for Time
The universe will not make sense until we can understand time. The best way to try to do this is to watch rain drops falling on the surface of water. Think of each droplet as an object surround by its own spacetime. Think of the surface of the water also as an object surround by its own spacetime. When the rain drops hit the surface of the water they create ripples. These ripples represent new space-times expanding in all direction. When they come in contact with other objects they will create new ripples (new space-times). Each droplet will see the arrow of time as one dimensional but in reality time will have geometry formed by the broken symmetry of the spherical waves continuously maintaining the fabric of spacetime.
Consciousness as the most advanced part of a universal process.
If we say the time continuum is formed by a universal process of energy exchange formed by light interacting with the atoms of the periodic table. In such a process ‘the moment of now’ is formed when light is absorbed and emitted this is relative to the object or life form. For you and me ‘the moment of now’ is continuously unfolding in the form of electrical activity (light) relative to the structure of the brain (atoms). Therefore we are always in the centre of our own reference frame seeing the process unfold being able to look back in time in all directions at the beauty of the stars. It is this personalization of the brain being in ‘the moment of now’ in the centre of its own frame of reference that gives us the concept of ‘mind’ with each one of us having our own unique personal view of the Universe.
About my Art and Poetry
Welcome to the Artand Poetry of NickHarvey. I hope you enjoy my paintings andrhyme. I have linked myartwork of oil paintings and drawings to short childlike rhymes. Each oil painting or drawing has its own little poem. I have tried to achieve a sense of truth and oneness in my paintings and writings, also some fun. ~ This is a non-profitable blog it was not planned that way it just happened.
