There seems to be a quantum mechanical mechanism connecting the mind to the brain. The thoughts themselves tend toward archetypes that function as strange attractors in Hilbert space. Attractors emerge from local and non-local parameters operating on a fixed rule set. Order accretes to attractors as the process evolves. Randomness is a function of parameters which are provided by the local and global space-time structure.
Relativity mediates the recursion via light-speed interactions.
The thoughtlike Hilbert space is a fiber space which has the rocklike classical configuration space as its base space. Sarfatti In the Neurocomputational Perspective by Churchland, a model of the development of thought from matter is described which starts with the assumption that thought derives from matter. Then a mechanism is developed to explain how this could happen. Sarfatti, on his Web page, starts with the opposite assumption, and then shows a possible mechanism by which it probably does work. If we consider both of these assumptions about the possible connections between mind and matter, they do not seem contradictory, they even appear to reinforce each other.
