Holonomic brain theory

Featured Replies

So, I'm not finding as much information as I want on the Internet about holonomic brain theory, so any mathematicians, biologists, philosophers, and physicists may feel free to contribute to this thread.

Here is my issue: What is doing the observing of the hologram?

 

It all seems really mystical, and this might get into philosophy. However, that's ok.

 

Supposedly, objects hit the eye, that gets translated and transformed in the brain somewhere, and out of it all comes some kind of hologram. That's great, so what I'm seeing is a hologram. But then, where am I?

 

I have not found any decent models that diagram holonomic brain theory. My suspicion is that it leads to a kind of Cartesian theater.

 

If I understand the theory correctly, information gets sent to the brain. However, after information gets sent to the brain, waves arise from the particles, atoms, and molecules in the brain. They eventually generate an interference pattern, which becomes the hologram.
