The Quantum Soul: Consciousness and Subconsciousness Entangled in Ether

This paper proposes a speculative interdisciplinary framework called the 'quantum soul' that draws on philosophy of consciousness, quantum physics, and Jungian psychology. It suggests that quantum principles might serve as metaphors or mechanisms for understanding subjective experience, archetypes, and the continuity of identity. The work is presented as an original synthesis meant to initiate dialogue among researchers in philosophy, psychology, and physics, rather than as a set of definitive claims. The authors invite critique and refinement of the framework, aiming to encourage collaborative exploration of consciousness beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of the "quantum soul," an interdisciplinary framework bridging philosophy of consciousness, speculative physics, and Jungian psychology. It examines how quantum principles may provide metaphors or mechanisms for understanding subjective experience, archetypes, and the continuity of identity. The work is intended as a starting point for dialogue between researchers in philosophy, psychology, and physics. By presenting original synthesis rather than definitive claims, it invites others to critique, refine, and expand the framework. The aim is to encourage collaborative exploration of consciousness beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.
