Philosophy of Mind and Quantum Interpretation: Panpsychism Debates Without Mathematical Content — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: No mathematical content present — this is a philosophy-of-mind / interpretation-of-QM debate corpus (Goff, Faggin, Penrose, Kastrup), not a quantitative physics result. | MATH: None extractable. No equations, constants, or ratios appear in the source material. The only "quantitative" claims are qualitative positions: panpsychism (consciousness as fundamental property), quantum-information panpsychism (Faggin/D'Ariano: consciousness as primary, quantum states as informational), Penrose–Hameroff Orch-OR (objective reduction of the wavefunction). None supply a testable numerical prediction in these sources. | CONNECTION: No geometric-harmony link is supported by the evidence. Any invocation of 0.618/1.618, base-60, or lattice symmetry here would be fabricated — the sources contain no such ratios. | DEPTH: 1/10 (as a mathematical finding). Notes for precision: - The IPPOG arXiv item (2011.14743) is a particle-physics outreach paper, unrelated to consciousness — it is noise in th Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
