Abstract: - Onset of the imminent paradigm shift to the 3rd regime of Natural Science (Classical, Quantum,

Unified Field) will sustain an explosion in technological innovation. Chief among these innovations will be the

appearance of room temperature table-top Bulk Universal Quantum Computing (UQC) – a fundamental key

element in producing Sentient Androids (SA). Controversy will occur around the meaning of Android, the

nature of Sentience, what it means to pass the Turing Test, and if passing the Turing Test is a satisfactory

demonstration of Sentience indistinguishable from a human. It is proposed that two classes of SA will be

developed: 1) the Cognitive Science model of AI where passing the Turing Test will be deemed sufficient and

2) a Cartesian Dualism model requiring a life principle for sentience – where the brain is a form of naturally

occurring conscious quantum computer.

1 Introduction

The Turing Test by general definition, is a method

testing a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent

behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from,

that of human intelligence.

The nature of awareness, which includes

sentience, has been called the oldest and most

difficult problem facing human understanding. The

current thinking that Mind = Brain has not helped.

For example, cognitive scientists ask – How can the

brain, a physical thing, generate a non-physical

essence of the mind? This ghost in the machine is

the central issue of the riddle of non-physicality.

That there might be a Cartesian mind-stuff (res

cogitans) and body-stuff (res extensa), a dualism of

mind and body is currently politically incorrect.

Thus, cognitive scientists claim mind stuff is

nonphysical and violate laws of thermodynamics in

order to destroy any efficacy; but Descartes did not

claim his res cogitans was nonphysical, he claimed

it was immaterial. Even today a valid definition of

immaterial is spiritual; an extremely unacceptable

term to most scientists. When Sir John Eccles was

still alive (Nobel for synapse) it was said, how can

one argue with a Nobel Laureate – Eccles was the

last great Cartesian dualist. The nature of awareness

has been called the hard problem. In the history of

science, whenever a hard problem existed, later

discovery has shown incorrect fundamental

questions had been asked. We provide empirical

protocols to test for a Cartesian action principle.

Universal Quantum Computing (UQC) will

essentially provide infinite computing power

because superposed qubit states scale by a factor of

2N, such that a mere 400 qubits has a number of

possible states tantamount to the number of atoms in

the universe, suggesting androids indistinguishable

from humans will be constructed provided an

appropriate system of algorithms is developed. This

brings the issue of android sentience (self-

awareness) to the forefront. The dominant cognitive

approach to consciousness, aligned with the AI

model, states that mind equals brain and once the

specificity of algorithms is known, all of human

intelligence could be replicated artificially. This so-

called mechanistic view: The laws of physics and

chemistry provide a sufficient description of living

systems; with no additional life principle required is

untenable. Our point of view entails an inherent

Cartesian action principle driving the evolution of

complex Self-Organized Living Systems (SOLS)

and the physical processes of awareness –

necessitating a physical distinction between mind

and brain because human rationality contains

something beyond the design criterion of machine

intelligence. Based on the fundamental premise that

awareness is associated with an Einsteinian-like

Unified Field as an inherent aspect of the nonlocal

fabric of the physical universe. The architecture of a

quantum computer designed to embody the physical

elements of natural intelligence could allow

consciousness to emerge within its core because the

utility of the missing parameters of mind contained

in the deeper ontology could function as a carrier to

simulate a platform for the extracellular containment

of natural intelligence.

In the mind = brain panoply it is argued that if

we knew the correct algorithms all of human

intelligence could be duplicated on today’s existing

computers. Current computing platforms are called

Turing Machines as invented by Alan Turing in

1936. Generally. A Turing machine consists of a

tape of infinite length on which read and write

operations can be performed. The tape consists of

infinite cells each containing symbols. It also

consists of a head that points to the cell currently

being read; it is linear and can move in both

directions. It is argued that Turing machines cannot

achieve sentience or free will because they cannot

escape their linear programming – a property of

nonlinear thought processes.

Turing proposed a test, now called the Turing

Test: if a computer can pass for a human, it is

intelligent. To clarify this issue philosopher John

Searle created the Chinese Room argument: Imagine

a native English speaker who knows no Chinese

locked in a room with boxes of Chinese symbols

(database) and a book of instructions for

manipulating the symbols (program). People outside

the room send in Chinese symbols which, unknown

to the person in the room, are questions in Chinese

(input). By following instructions in the program,

the man in the room passes out Chinese symbols

that are correct answers to the questions (output)

enabling the person in the room to pass the Turing

Test for understanding Chinese albeit he does not

understand any Chinese.

With a UQC of essentially infinite computing

power/database, it seems obvious Androids will

easily outperform humans. For example, IBM

Super-computer Watson defeated two of the

Jeopardy Quiz show's greatest champions. Watson

is massively parallel, employing a cluster of ninety

IBM Power 750 servers, each using a 3.5 GHz

POWER7 eight-core processor, with four threads

per core. In total, the system has 2,880 POWER7

processor threads and 16 terabytes of RAM. Watson

processes 500 gigabytes, the equivalent of a million

books, per second. All content needed to be stored

in RAM because data stored on hard drives would

be too slow to be competitive with human Jeopardy

champions.

Since June 2018, the US Summit is the world's

most powerful supercomputer, reaching 143.5

petaFLOPS. This is nothing compared to the

theoretically infinite processing UQC will provide.

Watson was designed for a specific purpose; it is

easy to imagine a bulk UQC encompassing all of

human intelligence, and thus being able to pass the

Turing Test. Does this mean an android equipped

with such a brain would be sentient? We suggest no

because it will still be following a program and thus

could not have free will in an absolute sense. What

we cannot answer now, is whether a UQC modeled

after Cartesian dualism incorporating the

Extracellular Containment of Natural Intelligence

could achieve sentience.

Generally, the simplistic distinction between a

humanoid robot, a computerized machine capable of

replicating a variety of complex human functions

automatically, and an android is one of appearance;

an android is meant to look and act like a human

being even to the extent of being indistinguishable.

Qubits reportedly scale at 2N, such that only a few

hundred qubits are tantamount to the number of

atoms in the universe.

With crystalline holographic databases coupled

with the processing power of bulk Universal

Quantum Computing (UQC), [1], it seems logical

that androids could be constructed as truly

indistinguishable from a human being provided a

proper system of algorithms could be developed.

This scenario, however, brings the issue of the

applicability of android sentience (self-awareness)

to the forefront. The currently dominant cognitive

model of awareness, closely aligned to the AI

model, states that mind equals brain and that once

the specificity of algorithms is known, all of human

intelligence could be replicated artificially.

This is the so-called mechanistic view: The laws

of physics and chemistry are sufficient to describe

all living systems; no additional life principle is

required, [2]. In this work we develop the point of

view that the regime of Unified Field Mechanics

(UFM), as Einstein himself claimed, supplies an

inherent action principle describing life, or as we

state: driving both the evolution of complex Self-

Organized Living Systems (SOLS) and the physical

processes of awareness. This Cartesian model (the

distinction between mind and brain), where UFM

parameters in conjunction with conscious QC (QC

modeled with physical parameters of mind-body

interaction), putatively could lead directly to the

possibility for the construction of sentient (or

sentient-like) Androids.

Constructing sentient robotic devices in our

model requires three precursors:

1) Utility of 3rd regime Natural Science - Unified

Field Mechanics (UFM) which Einstein himself

stated includes an inherent life principle with

experimental access to a physically real ‘light of the

mind’.

2) Development of the fundamental principles of

awareness (solving the Mind-Body problem); and

3) Implementing a special class of universal

‘conscious quantum computer’ (QC) modeled after

the naturally occurring mind-body interface.

It is proposed that under certain conditions it is

possible to construct a class of Sentient Androids

(SA), what is feasible is the ability to construct

androids able to pass the Turing Test as illustrated

by J Searle’s Chinese Room Experiment. Two

radical innovations are mandatory before such a

scenario can be implemented: 1) Bulk Universal

Quantum Computing (UQC) and 2) A proper

solution to the Mind-Body problem.

An android is meant to look and act like a human

being even to the extent of being indistinguishable.

Generally, the simplistic distinction between a

humanoid robot, a computerized machine capable of

replicating a variety of complex human functions

automatically, and an android is one of appearance.

While a one-day hyper-supercomputer could have a

sufficient holographic database and processing

power to be truly indistinguishable from a human

being, the issue of the applicability of sentience

(self-awareness) to an android comes to the

forefront. The currently dominant cognitive model

of awareness, closely aligned to the AI model, states

that mind equals brain and that once correct

algorithms are known all of human intelligence

could be replicated artificially. This is the so-called

mechanistic view: ‘The laws of physics and

chemistry are sufficient to describe all living

systems; no additional life principle is required’. In

this work, we develop the point of view that the

regime of Unified Field Mechanics (UFM) supplies

an inherent action principle driving both the

evolution of complex Self-Organized Living

Systems (SOLS) and the physical processes of

awareness. These UFM parameters in conjunction

with ‘conscious quantum computing’ (a class of

quantum computer modeled with physical

parameters of mind-body interaction) putatively lead

directly to the construction of sentient (or sentient-

like) Androids.

2 Extracellular Containment of

Natural Intelligence

We delineate the framework for the discovery of the

mind and the requirements for general universal

quantum computing incorporating those elements

into a class of ‘conscious’ quantum computing. Our

approach to defining awareness does not adhere

fully to the standard Cognitive approach where mind

equals brain but rather to a Cartesian interactionist

model where Descartes res cogitans (mind stuff) is

considered a physically real coherent action of the

Unified Field; instead of a ‘flashing stream of

positrons’ as Asimov suggested, rather a stream of

‘noeons’ the proposed exchange unit of an

Einsteinian UFM, [1].

Epistemology progressed from myth and

superstition to the age of logic and reason. When

logic failed Galileo was credited with founding the

age of empirical science currently in effect. This

evolution in modern times centered at first on the

3D Euclidean space of Newtonian or Classical

Mechanics. Then at the turn of the 20th Century

Quantum Mechanics and Relativity were created in

a 4D Minkowski-Riemann spacetime. Now as we

develop the ‘Age of Mind’ we enter a 3rd 12D

String/M-Theoretic regime of UFM [1], [2], [3]. It is

postulated that this UFM regime contains an

inherent new action or life principle driving the

evolution of complex Self-Organized Living

Systems (SOLS) and mind or mentation (stream of

qualia), [1], [4]. Therefore, sentient life is a form of

the complex self-organized autopoietic system

within which awareness is an evanescent process

between local phenomenological and nonlocal

ontological domains of Descartes res extensa (body

stuff) interacting with physically real res cogitans

(mind stuff).

We will discuss several experimental protocols

under development that test these noetic hypotheses,

[5], [6]. It is in this guise that we are able to propose

that the mind-body interface is a form of naturally

occurring ‘conscious quantum computer’, [7];

which under the right conditions could lead to the

‘extracellular containment’ of natural intelligence or

awareness in an android. In addition, our QC model

is radically different from those currently studied; it

relies on a relativistic model of the qubit (r-qubit)

and relativistic topological quantum field theory in

conjunction with salient aspects of UFM. The r-

qubit adds additional degrees of freedom causing the

standard Bloch sphere representation of a qubit to be

obsolete, [2]. The additional degrees of freedom

require the development of a new class of quantum

logic gates and algorithms. QC operation becomes a

duality, partially quantum mechanically (current

thinking) and partially within the 3rd regime of UFM

(new physics) in conjunction with brane dynamics

correlated with Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry

attributed to M-Theory, [2], [3].

This is key to surmounting the uncertainty

principle which also puts an end to the major

problem of decoherence, [5], [6], [8]. We suspect

Bulk Scalable Universal QC cannot be achieved

without these proposed improvements in QC

modeling. Finally, we discuss the current state of the

art for the ‘extracellular containment of awareness’

and the timeline for implementing the physical

principles of mind and processing in a first sentient

android prototype - not as Asimov suggested with a

‘flashing stream of positrons but rather with a noeon

flux, the putative exchange unit of the Unified Field

synonymous with a life principle and stream of

qualia.

3 Directing Mind-Body Research

In contrast to current thinking, we can no longer

accept reasoning that ‘the Planck scale is the

fundamental basement level of the universe’

(reality), or that spacetime geometry is the

fundamental domain where the psycho-physical

bridge occurs; because spacetime is an emergent

property associated with the regime of quantum

mechanical uncertainty which we now know has a

finite radius, [3], beyond which lies the domain of

UFM. A sufficient basis for defining awareness

requires parameters of UFM beyond this virtual veil

of uncertainty. In the same way, a distinction

between Classical and Quantum was discovered

with each domain being a physical regime with its

own laws and methods of investigation; the mind is

also comprised of physically real matter that exists

and operates in another arena hidden until now.

Recall that UFM, [3], is just being formalized

providing the long-anticipated 3rd regime of reality.

Thus, our understanding of the physical world

evolves from Classical to Quantum to Unified

(CQU). The current description of our universe

called the Standard Model, is presently governed by

the rules of the Copenhagen Interpretation of

quantum theory, electromagnetism, and

Special/General Relativity cast in a Big Bang

cosmology. A top-down description that reduces to

an impenetrable barrier, a so-called stochastic

quantum foam at the 10-33 cm Planck scale

representing the lower limit of a reality where we

(mind, awareness) as ‘observer’ is embedded in and

made out of its emergent material properties. This

Planck scale is not the ‘basement of reality’ as

Hameroff calls it, [9], only a temporarily closed

door, [10], imposed by the Copenhagen

interpretation of quantum theory that can now be

opened and passed through with parameters of

Noetic Field Theory (NFT): The Quantization of

Mind, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [8]. This CQU

progression is neither top-down nor bottom-up but

entails what is described as a ‘continuous-state’ free

fall-like cycling, [1], [2], [3], [8].

Classical Mechanics describes an event

between two coordinate systems by what is called

the Galilean transformation for uniform motion at

velocities less than the speed of light in 3D

Euclidean space. Events of quantum mechanics and

with relativistic velocities are described by the

Lorentz-Poincairé group of transformations in a 4D

Einstein-Minkowski spacetime. In order to cross the

Psycho-Physical Quantum Bridge noetic cosmology

utilizes an extension of M-Theory requiring a new

12D set of transformations called the Noetic

Transform because it includes properties of an

inherent teleological anthropic principle described

by the evolution of UF dynamics, [1], [2], [3], [4],

[5], [6], in the 3rd regime of Large-Scale Additional

Dimensionality (LSXD).

Coherent interaction of the UF bridging the

stochastic quantum barrier coupled to a brain

dendron of radius R correlated with an underlying

array forming one Eccles Psychon unit within the

brain.

To achieve this result, we utilize a battery of new

physical assumptions (developed in ensuing

sections):

 The LSXD regime of UF dynamics is a ‘sea’

of infinite potential from which the 4D reality of the

3D observer cyclically emerges as a nilpotent

resultant. Nilpotency - technically meaning ‘sums to

zero’, [2], [11], is a required basis for the noetic

cosmologies infinite potential simplistically like the

entangled alive-dead quantum state of Schrödinger’s

cat before a realized local event occurs.

 The action of the UF mediated by noeon

‘flux’ (noeon is the exchange unit of the UF) is the

life principle both animating SOLS and supplying

psychon energy for the physical evolution of qualia,

[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

 The UF does not operate as a usual

phenomenal field (mediated by an energetic

exchange quanta like the photon of the

electromagnetic field) but as an energyless field by a

process called ‘topological switching’ transferring a

force of coherence ontologically between M-

Theoretic branes, [4], [12]. Note: This property of

UF dynamics removes the problem of violation of

the 2nd law of thermodynamics or the conservation

of energy from Cartesian interactive dualism.

 The key process for the topological

transformation of noeon exchange is a holophote

action (like a lighthouse beacon) providing a gating

mechanism acting as the psychophysical bridge

between the potential of the UF 12D space and the

localized 4D spacetime and 3D matter it embeds,

[1], [4].

4 Mind-Body Problem - Sentience

To solve the mind-body problem the scientific

perspective must evolve beyond the usual

Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum theory to the

new physics required to explain, utilize and design

experimental access to the UF regime where

physical parameters able to explain psychophysical-

bridging reside.

 The Planck scale cannot be considered the

most fundamental level of reality. Three regimes of

reality must be addressed: Classical



Quantum



Unified Field; all of which cycle continuously,

[1], [2], [3], [4], [8].

 Qualia are not quantum phenomena per se

but unified field phenomena. Quale ‘rest on’ the

quantum regime (tip of the iceberg) only as part of

the sensory transduction apparatus (Mind-body

interaction).

 The Planck scale is not an impenetrable

barrier, [3], even though considered so as an

empirical fact demonstrated by the quantum

uncertainty principle - UFM can be utilized to

surmount uncertainty.

Fourteen empirical protocols have been proposed,

[5], [6] (the 1st reviewed here) for demonstrating,

gaining access to, and leading to a variety of

experimental platforms for first-hand investigation

of the physical basis of awareness (qualia) breaking

down the 1st person 3rd person barrier as called for

by, [13].

String theory has one parameter, string tension,

TS; but has been fraught with the dilemma of a

Googolplex (10googol) or an infinite number of

vacuum possibilities. By utilizing the Eddington,

Dirac, and Wheeler large number hypothesis, [1],

[8], we found an alternative derivation of TS leading

to one unique vacuum and what we call the

‘continuous-state hypothesis’ an alternative to

expansion/inflation parameters of Big Bang

cosmology, [8]. Simplistically the perceived

inflation energy of Big Bang cosmology postulates a

Doppler expansion from a primordial temporal

singularity. But the noetic continuous-state

hypothesis proposes a localized ‘eternal present’ as

if in permanent ‘gravitational free-fall’, [1], [4], [8].

Since we are relativistically embedded in and made

out of matter this condition means that all objects (in

our 3D virtual reality) are embedded in LSXD in

gravitational ‘free-fall’. This is better explained by

two other interpretations of the quantum theory

generally ignored by the physics community

because they are myopically considered to add

nothing. That of the de Broglie-Bohm Causal

Interpretation, [14], and the Cramer Transactional

Interpretation, [15]; where spacetime and the matter

within it (matter is made of de Broglie waves) is

created-annihilated and recreated over and over as

part of the perceived arrow of time and creation of

our 3D reality as a resultant from LSXD infinite

potential as a ‘hyperspherical standing-wave, [1],

[2], [3], [10]. This can be understood conceptually

by a movie theatre metaphor (Figure 1).

5 A Physical Basis for Qualia

Qualia, plural of quale, is defined as ‘the subjective

quality of experience; a qualitative feel associated

with an experience’. The physics of noetic

cosmology with an inherent ‘life principle’ based on

UF mechanics also provides for the first time a

physical basis for representing quale in a rigorous

empirically testable manner. If experience has a

specific subjective nature; if one removed the

viewpoint of the subjective observer; what would be

left? The remaining properties might be those

detectable by other beings, the physical processes

themselves, or states intrinsic to the experience of

awareness. This changes the perspective of qualia to

the form “there is something it is like to undergo

certain physical processes”. “If our idea of the

physical ever expands to include mental phenomena,

it will have to assign them an objective character”,

[13]. This breaks down the 1st person-3rd person

barrier: A major step in implementing extra-cellular

sentience.

These are questions an integrative Noetic

Science now answers theoretically and empirically.

Standard definitions of qualia are an inadequate

philosophical construct describing only the

subjective character. In the physical sense of Noetic

Field Theory (NFT): The Quantization of Mind

components describing qualia from the objective

sense distinguishes the phenomenology of qualia

from the underlying ontological ‘nonlocal

noumenon’ or physical existence of the fundamental

thing in itself. NFT suggests that a comprehensive

definition of qualia is comprised of a triune form

considered physically real because the noetic unified

field on which the NFT is based is physically real.

The proposed triune basis of quale is as follows:

Type I. The Subjective - What it feels like the basis

of awareness. Phenomenological mental states of the

qualia of experience. (This is the current

philosophical definition of qualia, Q-I)

Type II. The Objective - Physical basis of qualia

phenomenology independent of the subjective

feeling that could be stored or transferred to another

entity breaking down the 1st person-3rd person

barrier. Noumenal nonlocal UF elements and related

processes evanesce qualia by a form of

superradiance, Q-II.

Type III. The Cosmological - SOLS by being alive

represent a Qualia substrate of the anthropic

multiverse, acting as a ‘blank slate’ carrier (like a

television set turned on but with no broadcast

signal) from within which Q-II are modulated into

the Q-I of experience by a form of superradiance.

Note: Q-III has sub-elements called quanemes

addressed elsewhere, [1], [4].

Fig. 2: 2D rendition of an HD holographic process.

a) An object (small black circle) placed inside two

parabolic mirrors (Casimir-like domain walls)

produces a virtual image (white circle) representing

the creation of a point in spacetime or stream of

elements producing qualia. b) Our virtual

holographic reality is produced in a similar fashion

by Cramer future-past standing-wave parameters

from the LSXD Calabi-Yau mirror symmetric

infinite potentia of the UF. As in Fig. 1, this same

process produces qualia with each lit point like a

raindrop producing a rainbow by the ‘light’ of the

UF.

Standard images require a screen or reflective

surface to be resolved; but if the foci of two

parabolic mirrors (Casimir-like vacuum plates)

coincide, the two images superpose into a real 3D

holographic image not needing a screen. A toy

called the magic mirage demonstrates this effect of

parabolic mirrors. Objects placed at the bottom

appear as solid objects at the top of the device. In

12D LSXD reality Calabi-Yau brane topology

performs the same function for the locus of qualia

propagation.

The ‘light-house’ (flashing) action of UF life

principle energetics arises from harmonic

oscillations of boundary conditions tiling the

spacetime backcloth and pervading all SOLS. The

inherent beat frequency of this continuous action

produces the Q-III carrier wave that is an empty

slate modulating cognitive data of Q-II physical

parameters into Q-I awareness states as a

superposition of the two (Q-III and Q-II). This

modulation of qualia occurs in the HD QED cavities

of the individual’s psychosphere cognitive domain.

The QED cavities are a close-packed tiling of LCU

noetic hyperspheres; the Casimir surfaces of which

reflect quaneme subelements. The best reflectors of

em-waves are polished metal mirrors; charged

boundary conditions also reflect em-waves the same

way radio signals bounce off the ionized gases of

the Kennelly-Heaviside layers in the ionosphere.

This reflective ‘sheath’ enclosing the cognitive

domain is charged by the Noeon radiation (exchange

particle of the noetic field) of the life principle, the

phases of which are ‘regulated’ in the complex

LSXD space.

How does the noetic theory describe more

complex aspects of qualia? Like a rainbow, light

quanta (water drops) are microscopic in contrast to

the macroscopic sphere of awareness (rainbow). It

thus seems reasonable to assume that scale-invariant

properties of the LCUs modulating awareness would

apply. Like phonemes as fundamental sound

elements for audible language qualia-nemes or

quanemes are proposed for subelements of

awareness; all based on the physical modulation of

Q-II states by the geometric structural

phenomenology of the Q-III carrier base of living

systems. The quaneme is a singular Witten point in

the raster of mind like a locus of points forming a

line. Each of these ‘quaneme points’ of noeon entry

through the LCU gating array is like an individual

raindrop that summates into a rainbow or thought

train of awareness. This again takes us back to the

movie theater metaphor of Fig.1 where the discrete

frame of film (LCU gated) is projected continuously

on the screen, in this case, the mind.

For cognitive theory, all intelligence/

consciousness resides in the brain (mind equals

brain). The situation is radically different for

Cartesian interactive dualism requiring a life

principle. The cognitive theory requires only one

component - body stuff or matter; but interactive

dualism requires three components: 1) Matter

(Cartesian res extensa). 2) Mind stuff (res cogitans)

and 3) Nonlocal Elemental Intelligence. Because of

space constrictions these critically important aspects

are only mentioned here, [1].

that gates ‘the light of the mind’ or UF energy. The

term quaneme is derived to parallel the phoneme

6 Unit of Mind Energy Measure

NFT elevates the concept of qualia from the

traditional philosophical concept used in cognitive

science to a physically real fundamental noumenon.

Noumenon is defined as the ‘thing in itself’ beyond

the veil of the 3D phenomenological world; in

Kantian philosophy, a noumenon is something

existing independently of intellectual or sensory

perception. This fundamental physicality allows

qualia to be ‘digitized’ in some form breaking down

the 1st person-3rd person barrier and leading to

profound new ‘conscious’ technologies. Nobelist Sir

John Eccles coined a construct called the psychon,

to illustrate how mental energy coupled to brain

dendrons (bundle of neural dendrites), [16], to

complete his Cartesian interactionist model of mind-

body dualism, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

Formalizing the ‘Psychon’ as a unit of measure is

made possible by a comprehensive science of qualia

or fundamental basis of awareness. In meditative

science, it is said that ‘energy follows thought’.

Here we postulate that the qualia of awareness are

comprised of a real physical flux of energy related

to the new physics of the unified field, UF,[4]. In

honor of Nobelist Sir J.C. Eccles (synapse

discovery), we propose to quantify this mental

energy in terms of a new physical unit called the

Psychon. The Einstein, a physical unit of energy

measure named in honor of Albert Einstein for his

explanation of the photoelectric effect in terms of

light quanta (photons) bears conceptual similarity

and we thus use that as our starting point. The

Einstein is used to measure the power of

electromagnetic radiation in photosynthesis where

one Einstein represents one mole or Avogadro’s

one-millionth of an Einstein or 6.02 x 1017 photons

imping a leaf for example.

A similar unit of measure to quantify the mental

energy of quale called the Psychon as one mole or

Avogadro’s number of noeons is created. The force

of all four known phenomenological fields

(electromagnetic, strong, weak, and gravitational)

are said to have exchange quanta mediating the

field’s interactions by a quantal exchange of energy.

For electromagnetism, the exchange quanta is the

photon. This quantal mediation has been

experimentally verified for all fields except gravity

because the graviton has not been discovered.

According to NFT the regime of unification is not

quantum but instead correlates with the ontological

parameters of UFM, [3].

The trefoil knots (as Planck scale quaternion

vertices) are holomorphic to the circle. Since energy

is conserved, we may ignore the complexity of the

LSXD Calabi-Yau and AdS5 Dodecahedral

symmetries and use the area of the circle, in this

case, a resultant continuous rotation of two circles as

a 2-sphere quantum state or perhaps better as a torus

as the coupling area of one psychon to a dendron.

This idea is further conceptualized illustrating how a

3D object emerges from spacetime.

In considering psychon energy it appears easier

to calculate the nonlocal brane area rather than the

local volume or surface area of a neural dendron or

array of microtubules etc. Recall that the intestinal

villi are purported to provide the area of a football

field. In any case, we will not calculate here but

leave it for a later publication since we still struggle

with the conceptual problems relating to the

geometric topology of noeon coherence. Recall that

the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation entails a

nonlocal pilot wave or quantum-potential said to

guide the evolution of the wavefunction

ontologically. This concept was not very successful

in 4D, but when carried to LSXD it works elegantly

and the pilot-wave-quantum potential is like a Super

Quantum Potential becoming synonymous with

coherent aspects of the UF. Note that the UF

provides the basis for gravitation, [1], [8], and the

life principle for living systems not just the

evolutionary flow of qualia in the mind.

A bit more neon-psychon theory: A torus is

generated by rotating a circle about an extended line

in its plane where the circles become a continuous

ring. According to the equation for a torus,



, where r is the radius of

the rotating circle and R is the distance between the

center of the circle and the axis of rotation. The

volume of the torus

22

2Rr



and the surface area is

2

4,Rr



in the above Cartesian formula the z-axis is

the axis of rotation. We apply this to the holophote

action of noeon flux. In atomic theory electron

charged particle spherical domains fill the toroidal

volume of the atomic orbit by their wave motion. If

a photon of specific quanta is emitted while an

electron is resident in an upper (like the UF domain)

more excited Bohr orbit, the radius of the orbit

drops back down to the next lower energy level

decreasing the volume of the torus in the emission

process. Like Einstein, the psychon is defined as a

measure of one mole of noeons, purported to be the

topological exchange complex of the Unified Field,

UF which provides the energy that animates the

stream of awareness or qualia.

Using the noetic field equation,

/

F



, [1],

[4], we need to calculate the energy of the noeon

field from its space-time hysteresis loop. This is a

practical and conceptual challenge that is hard to

meet. Imagine trying to calculate the surface area of

the dendrite and synaptic boutons in a dendron,

neural network, or array of microtubules for

example. Instead, imagine a helicopter-like those

used to put out forest fires carrying a bucket of

water retrieved from a nearby lake (UF). The volume

of that bucket is known. So, it is infinitely easier to

work with the volume of the helicopter water bucket

than to try to measure the surface area of the trees

and other objects on the ground. When Eccles

loosely defined the psychon-dendron correlation he

did not consider Avogadro's number of noeons to

enter into the picture. The question is can we

correlate helicopter buckets of the UF with the

volume or surface area of an array of the hysteresis

loop modulating energy of coherence entering the

local space-time of a dendron?

For simplicity, at this stage of development, we

use the general unexpanded form of the Noetic UF

equation,

where NF is the force of

the ‘cavity’ radius. The cavity

represents a hysteresis loop of the LSXD brane

energy dynamics. The cavity relates to the volume

of the Calabi-Yau mirror symmetric dual 3-tori of

the lighthouse gating mechanism. The gate cycles

continuously through LSXD symmetries of M-

Theoretic space through various compactification

modes, [2], [8], until it reaches a 4D standing-wave

Minkowski spacetime of the standard model of

observed reality, i.e. a Copenhagen domain wall of

noeon energy pervading all spacetime and matter,

i.e. SOLS as the life principle (in our example a

dendron). This process, further described by the

physics of the gating mechanism is mediated by a

new set of transformations beyond the Galilean-

Lorentz-Poincairé called in regard to an anthropic

multiverse it is cast in - the Noetic Transform, [2].

We derived our definition of the noeon (from the

Greek nous, mind and noēsis / noētikos, perception-

what the nous does) and the common “on” suffix in

particle physics such as the phot-on as the

fundamental exchange unit of the anthropic unified

noetic field.

Although UF dynamics entails a ‘force of

coherence’ this does not seem to entail a 5th force.

The ‘coherence’ implied is the resultant action;

perhaps that is misleading. The UF is primary - an

originator of all the other forces that bring noeons,

which are then immediately returned to the sea of

infinite potential. This cyclical process energizes

living systems, qualia, gravitation, etc. One sees that

the anthropic principle provides all these

phenomena - Life, the Light of the Mind (qualia),

and Gravitation! More work has to be done on

noeon dynamics. This is what the experimental

protocols are designed for - rigorous investigation.

7 Bulk Universal Quantum

Computing

Quantum Computing (QC) has remained elusive

beyond a few qubits. Feynman’s recommended use

of a “synchronization backbone”, [17], for achieving

bulk implementation has generally been abandoned

as intractable; a conundrum we believe arises from

limitations imposed by the standard models of

Quantum Theory (QT). It is proposed that

Feynman’s model can be utilized to implement

Universal Quantum Computing (UQC) with valid

operationally completed extensions of QT and

cosmology, [2]. Requisite additional degrees of

freedom are introduced by defining a relativistic

basis for the qubit (r-qubit) in a higher dimensional

(LSXD) conformal scale-invariant context and

defining a new anticipatory-based cosmology

(cosmology itself cast as a hierarchical form of a

complex self-organized system) making

correspondence to unique 12D Calabi-Yau mirror

symmetries of M-Theory. The causal structure of

these conditions reveals an inherent new Unified

Field, UF “action principle” (force of coherence)

driving self-organization and providing a basis for

applying Feynman’s synchronization backbone

principle. Operationally a new set of transformations

(beyond the standard Galilean / Lorentz-Poincaré)

ontologically surmounts the quantum condition

(producing decoherence during both initialization

and measurement) by an acausal energyless

(ontological) topological interaction, [2]. Utilizing

the inherent LSXD regime requires new

commutation rules and corresponding I/O

techniques based on a coherent control process with

applicable rf-pulsed incursive harmonic modes of

LSXD spacetime manifolds described by a spin-

exchange continuous-state spacetime resonance

hierarchy.

We postulate bulk universal QC cannot be

achieved without surmounting the quantum

uncertainty principle, an inherent barrier by

empirical definition in the regime described by the

4D Copenhagen interpretation - the last remaining

hurdle to bulk QC. QC operations by surmounting

uncertainty with probability

1

, requires redefining

the basis for the qubit. Our form of M-Theoretic

Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry cast in an LSXD Dirac

covariant polarized vacuum contains an inherent

‘Feynman synchronization backbone’. This also

incorporates a relativistic qubit (r-qubit) providing

additional degrees of freedom beyond the traditional

Block 2-sphere qubit bringing the r-qubit.

Review of bulk UQC prototype design able to

incorporate a sentient android:

 We arbitrarily choose a class-II mesoionic

xanthine crystal stable at room temperature for ~

100 years with 10 evenly separable quantum states

in its ground state configuration. The xanthine is

programmed by rf-pulsed Sagnac Effect resonance

to overcome I/O decoherence, [2], [8]. This is the

holographic ‘neural net android brain.

 For greater efficiency (intelligence)

quantum dot ring laser arrays manufactured with

internal mirrors may be utilized instead of IC arrays.

The quantum dots would be arrayed on a suitable

substrate rather than an IC.

 Another android brain model could utilize a

class II mesoionic xanthine doped multilayer

graphene molecule array (currently under study)

where it may be possible to operate a QC by forms

of Quantum Hall effects, bilayer graphene alone, or

a stand-alone mesoionic xanthine configuration

since several mesoionic xanthine molecules have

pertinent polar properties.

Because the model surmounts the quantum

uncertainty principle in a complex 12-space the

current Bloch (Riemann) sphere representation of

qubits (classical 2-sphere model) is a nonphysical

mathematical representation too primitive and not

suited for actualizing bulk universal QC. For the

past several years our model was based on a

relativistic (r-qubit) where the additional degree of

freedom was an aid to surmounting uncertainty, [2],

[6], [8]. Recently we realized this 4D r-qubit, while

on the right track was also insufficient. This arose

from extending the quantum theory to the regime of

the Unified Field, UF primarily based on extended

LSXD versions of Cramer’s transactional

interpretation and de Broglie-Bohm's interpretation

of QT. This was as much a breakthrough in

nilpotent cosmology as QT. We discovered there

was more to a quantum state than a Copenhagen

‘particle in a box’; the quantum state was

conformally scale-invariant requiring a

representation utilizing a system of dual continuous-

state Calabi-Yau mirror symmetric 3-tori (class of

Kähler manifolds), [6], [8]. One surprise is that this

cosmology contains an inherent ‘synchronization

backbone’, [17], which ends up like getting half the

QC for free; making the essential process of

surmounting uncertainty almost simplistic, [2], [6].

8 Conclusion - Criteria for Sentience

Sentience is suggested to be synonymous with an

entity having subjective experiences also known in

Philosophy of Mind as experiencing qualia.

Sentience is often considered to be distinct from

other aspects of the mind like intelligence, self-

awareness, or free agency. The issue of conscious

machines remains difficult compounded by the

‘Chinese Room’ analogy suggesting it could also

remain a challenge experimentally. The problem

cannot be solved philosophically only laid bare to

certain probabilities. It is possible to list salient

components of awareness. We suggest four:

Sentience, Intelligence Self-awareness and Free

will.

Must a conscious system be considered alive?

We have addressed this issue elsewhere in what we

have termed System-Zero: The proteinaceous unit

called the prion, (responsible for neurodegenerative

encephalopathies) a particle ‘below’ the virus.

System-Zero propagates from normal to infectious

by a conformal change in the protein structure by

action of the force of coherence of the UF.

Following the assumptions: 1) A physically real

noetic ‘life principle’ exists synonymous with the

action of the UF, 2) The mind-body interface is a

form of naturally occurring ‘conscious quantum

computer’ (not that the QC is conscious but modeled

after such principles) and 3) Combining the two

concepts leads to truly sentient androids when

applied to a class of QC systems modeled after the

noetic mind-body interface.

The noetic QC Android model is empirically

testable with experimental protocols summarized.

Access to the UF action of the life principle requires

surmounting the quantum uncertainty principle.

Furthermore, the required universal bulk QC cannot

be achieved with 4-space parameters and requires

M-Theoretic principles of UFM cast in LSXD, [18],

[19]. We believe implementing sentient Android

devices is only this far away!
