The Differential Geometry of The Consciousness

Abstract

Moninder Singh Modgil

Our visual perception places us at the origin of a 3-dimensional cartesian coordinate system. On a cosmological scale, the consciousness (as manifested in the brain) can be approximated as point like. It is proposed that perceptual experiences can be regarded as occurring on a tangent space at the point where the consciousness is located. A differential geometric framework is developed, for consciousness propagating on a curved space-time manifold. Interaction between consciousnesses is discussed at classical and quantum mechanical level. Quantum mechanical experiments such as those of Schrodinger’s cat in Many World Interpretation, are examined in this framework.
