Agent Choice via Quantum Flux in Living Systems
R. E. Kastner
A basic model is provided that places active, intentional choices by biological organisms on a solid physical footing. The model is provisionally called "Agent Choice via Quantum Flux." It brings to bear specific physics on living systems in a way that allows for intentional choices not pre-determined by physical laws, but remaining consistent with those laws. It does so by exploring a possible many-to-one relation of quantum states to agent choices, with a parallel to the relation of thermodynamic microstates to macrostates.
