Hello Siri, thanks for this thoughtful response. Much to comment on here. I don't think we are arguing against the obvious because what has seemed obvious to us in the past is now far from obvious, as even your thoughts on this show. We are probably in basic agreement when you say the baseline of the universe is the Planck quantum field, sometimes called the ether, or the Grid by Wilczek. Bohm called it the "holomovement" and Eddington called it the spirit. I'm closest to Eddington, but I think we are talking the same thing with different names. We is of most interest to me, and why I felt Schrodinger had something to say to this, is how this field of perturbations results in both mind and at least the appearance of matter. What is the mechanism? How does this work? Ultimately, the question for me comes to meaning. What does this say about the nature of the world and our place in it?
