Time, Space-Time, and Consciousness

In moments of consciousness as quantum jumps between quantum histories picture the basic challenge is to explain how psychological time arises: why the contents of at least sensory experiences are concentrated around definite value of geometric time and what is the origin of the arrow of psychological time. It has become gradually clear that TGD cannot reproduce the common sense conception of time and that one can only require that the generalized view is consistent with our restricted conscious experiences and shows our position in the hierarchy of consciousness. The long sought-for solution to the puzzle of psychological time and its arrow was surprisingly simple. Psychological time corresponds to center of mass coordinate for mindlike space-time sheet and is zero mode so that its value is precisely defined for each state of quantum jump by the localization in zero modes associated with quantum jump. The geometry of future lightcone in turn implies the gradual drift of the mindlike space-time sheet to the direction of the future. Much later came the realization that this picture leads to several paradoxes unless one assumes that psychological time labels the zone of volition corresponding to a p-adic-to-real phase transition proceeding towards the geometric future. Furthermore, the value of the psychological time must be assumed to be common for the selves at the same level of the self hierarchy, perhaps for the entire bio-sphere. This gives very strong first principle support for the view that entire bio-sphere is conscious being and gives justification for very speculative ideas such as sensory representations realized on the magnetic sensory canvas having size much larger than the physical body. Rather concrete vision about the character of consciousness after the physical death emerges and throws light to various religious concepts (saints and sinners, heaven and hell). The concept of self led to the understanding of the subjective memory as an average over experiences of self experienced after its ”wakeup”. Subjective memories are always about past. Geometric memories are predictions for the future/past assuming that no quantum jumps would occur after/had occurred before the one giving rise to the geometric memory. Pre-cognitions can be seen as geometric memories about future. Intentions are p-adic variants of precognitions. It seems that long term memories must correspond to geometric memories: this hypothesis, when combined with the spin glass model of brain, the notion of quantum self-organization, and some key aspects of manysheeted physics, allows to understand the basic aspects of the long term memory and avoids the basic difficulties of the neural net models. ”Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” principle suggests that the structure of the many-sheeted space-time represents the structure of the cosmology of consciousness. This heuristic principle together with the
