title: A possible quantum basis of panpsychism
creator: Gao, Shan
subject: Philosophy of Mind
description: We show that consciousness may violate the basic quantum principle, according to which the nonorthogonal quantum states can't be distinguished. This implies that the physical world is not causally closed without consciousness, and consciousness is a fundamental property of matter, thus provides a possible quantum basis for panpsychism.
