Description

Consciousness,
Brain Evolution, and
the Atomic Science of Minds

What is consciousness awareness and why did conscious awareness evolve? Can organic minds like the human brain be described as systems of automated sub-atomic, atomic or molecular mechanisms? Organic minds are dynamic states of matter, consisting of parameterized quantum energy states, the activities of which are explainable using the laws of physics, particularly the laws of thermodynamics. The ultimate driver of mind-activity is also what drives all activity in the universe, from chemical reactions to the melting of water, that is, the universe being in a state of thermodynamic disequilibrium. The sub-atomic particle movement patterns that make organic minds function occur in the universe because the universe is continuously equilibriating itself. Evolution and natural selection, the mechanisms that evolved organic minds, can be thought of as energy equilibration phenomena occurring in the universe. Conscious awareness evolved to enable brains to locate objects on the planet earth that contribute to the energy equilbrium of the bodies attached to organic minds, because organic bodies are unstable thermodynamically. This book presents a reductionist, phyics-based explanation of how the mind works.
