On the transition from a sense of self to actualizing an intention

R.R. Poznanski

Action potentials are a part of neural activity, but defining neural action is far more complex. Generalizing specific cognitive tasks as neural is ineffective. Instead, this paper focuses on individual factors such as intentions in action or consciousness in action. The hard question of consciousness arises from how the brain's biochemistry interacts with the electromagnetic field to facilitate energy transduction, enabling various forms of information to sustain self-referential causal closure. This has important implications, especially when intentions in action become intentions through a process that involves a transition from the experience of acting out a thought to actualizing intentions. This transition is particularly relevant to subjective intentionality, precognitive and unreliable in forming intentions without understanding the biochemical and biophysical foundations. We propose that negentropic force drives the transition from experience to intentions. Experience such as subjective intentionality is a quantum-optical effect actuated by electromagnetic “sparks” in benzene rings and proton transfer in hydrophobic pockets ...
