Core Synthesis: Consciousness may be fundamental to reality, resolving quantum paradoxes (wave-function collapse, entanglement) and redefining time/emergence.

Key Propositions:

1. Quantum Observation Problem:
   • Measurement-induced wave collapse implies consciousness plays a causal role in physical reality.
   • Roger Penrose’s Orchestrated Objective Reduction model suggests quantum processes in neural microtubules as a biological basis for conscious observation.
2. Nondualism and Epistemology:
   • The subject-object dichotomy ("observer vs. observed") collapses: consciousness is the observed reality.
   • Eastern nondual frameworks (e.g., Advaita Vedanta) reframe this as awareness without separateness — compatible with quantum entanglement’s demonstration of nonlocality.
3. Time as Emergent Illusion:
   • Temporality arises from conscious perception, not fundamental physics.
   • States like deep sleep reveal consciousness operating beyond time constraints.
4. Entanglement and Unity:
   • Quantum non-separability mirrors nondual claims of inherent oneness.
   • Biological cognition may exploit quantum coherence (linking Penrose/Christof Koch).

Testable Implications:

• States of consciousness could affect quantum measurement outcomes if consciousness mediates collapse.
• Entanglement coherence scales should correlate with biological cognition efficiency.

Controversies Addressed:

• "Flat Earth" Symbolism: Examined as a metaphor for perceptual relativity.
• "God" as Conceptual Label: The non-contingent ground from which consciousness/physics emerge.
