The upward causation model.
UpwardCausation
Brain
Cells (including neurons)
Molecules
Elementary particles make atoms, atoms make molecules, molecules make cells (neurons), neurons make the brain,
and the brain makes consciousness. Causation rises from the base level of the elementary particles upward. Only
elementary particles, nothing else have causal efficacy.

Collapse of the Waveform
When we look, we collapse the electron’s wave to localize at When we look, we collapse the electron’s wave to localize at one place. But between our observations, an electron spreads one place. But between our observations, an electron spreads

If electrons go through a slit mounted on springs, as shown, before going through the double‐slittedscreen (not shown) is it ( )possible to tell which slit an electron goes through without destroying the interference pattern?

Flux
Will the line of flux be shared between the two holes, revealing quantum interference at the macro level?

(a) With the simultaneous correlated collapse of the mind and brain, the brain makes a representation of the mental meaning that it experienced.
(b) With the correlated collapse of the vital blueprint of an organ and the physical body, the latter makes a representation (the organ) of the former at a chakra.
