The QBIT Theory of Consciousness

Abstract

The QBIT theory is an attempt toward solving the problem of consciousness based on empirical evidence provided by various scientific disciplines including Quantum mechanics, Biology, Information theory, and Thermodynamics. This theory formulates the problem of consciousness in the following four questions: (1) What is the nature of qualia? (2) How are qualia generated? (3) Why are qualia subjective? (4) Why does a quale have a particular quality or meaning?In sum, the QBIT theory proposes that (1) when certainty of an observer about an event exceeds a certain level, the observer becomes conscious of that event; (2) consciousness requires Maxwell demon-assisted quantum computation; (3) a quale is a dense pack of meaningful quantum information encoded in maximally entangled pure states; (4) a quale is generated when robustness of an internal representation exceeds a certain threshold; (5) the quality or meaning of a quale is determined by a process of information compression via the matching and unification of patterns; and (6) subjectivity of consciousness is due to the fact that maximally entangled pure states are private and unshareable.

The Concept of Internal Representation in The Qbit Theory of Consciousness

“…These preliminary answers have been broadly discussed in a previous paper 1 . In the present paper, the concept of "internal representation" and its relation to consciousness is explored in more detail.…”

“…Moreover, two sharp peaks at 1628 and 3416 cm À1 are raised due to the vibration of (O-H) bonds, indicating the presence of the absorbed water molecule from the environment. [29,30] The room-temperature Raman spectra of nickel chromate nanosheets consist of several broad peaks from 0 to 1000 cm À1 . Four Raman active vibrational modes A 1g (668 cm À1 ), E g (437 cm À1 ), F 2g (1183 cm À1 ), and F 2g (2509 cm À1 ) are clearly visible, which can be anticipated from group theory for any spinel structure.…”
