Quantum Mind: Part 2

This chapter continues exploration into quantum theory. I start with Whitehead’s view of quantum and relate it to Hameroff and Penrose’s orchestrated objective reduction (Orch OR) theory. The next section revisits Barad’s agential realism in more detail than the previous chapter. I especially introduce other quantum theories that challenge or displace this view. I especially go into the historical debates between Bohr and Heisenberg as Heisenberg is dismissed by Barad. This leads me to question the methodology of diffraction that has become popular. Next, I return to Orch OR theory also in more detail, stressing the gravitational consideration Penrose gives to his theory of quantum mind. The turn is made then to the quantum mind as it is considered in mathematics education. I end with the question of neuropedagogy.
