Is cognition present at elementary particle level and are particle reactions intentional actions?
An innocent looking question “What F=ma means in TGD?”, posed by Lawrence B. Crowell in a FB discussion, can be abstracted to the question how the transfers of conserved isometry charges of H=M4× CP2 are realized at the level of fundamental interactions. At this level, the question is about how the conserved charges associated with the initial state particles are redistributed between the final state particles.
Somewhat surprisingly, TGD based quantum ontology implies that quantum non-determinism is an essential part of the answer to the question. Equally surprisingly, also a connection with the theory of consciousness and cognition emerges at the fundamental elementary particle level.
In the TGD view, the weak violation of the classical non-determinism in holography = holomorphy vision of TGD leads to the identification of self as a sequence of “small” state function reductions (SSFRs) identified as TGD counterparts of repeated measurements of the same observables: now however the observables related to the non-determinism are measured in SSFRs and give rise to the correlates of cognition. By quantum criticality, a “big” state function reduction (BSFR) as the TGD counterpart of what occurs in quantum measurement, can take place. BSFR means the death of self and its reincarnation with an opposite arrow of time.
Quantum criticality of the TGD Universe, realized in terms of holography = holomorphy principle, would be essential for this. For instance, particle decay involving topological changes could correspond to this process and all particle interactions would basically be due to the quantum criticality so that instead of SSFR, BSFR takes place. Intention is transformed to action at fundamental level. Cognition is dangerous in the TGD Universe!
See the article The problem of time and the TGD counterpart of F= ma or the chapter Comparing the S-matrix descriptions of fundamental interactions provided by standard model and TGD.
