In most theories about the universe, one element is almost systematically left out: consciousness.
We talk about matter, energy, space-time, forces, information — but the phenomenon that perceives, experiences and gives meaning to everything remains conspicuously absent. It's seen as a byproduct, illusion, glitch of the brain, or simply irrelevant to the bigger picture.
But what if that's not right?
What if consciousness is not incidental, but a fundamental part of the system?
Within QBM I explore precisely that possibility:
consciousness not as effect, but as carrying field.
No delusions of grandeur.
No "theory of everything".
But an exploration of a pattern that keeps returning in experience, observation and fieldwork.
The blind spot of many models
In physics, consciousness is hard to capture.
It doesn't fit in formulas.
It can't be reduced to atoms.
It doesn't behave linearly.
That's why it's often kept outside the model:
"First understand matter, then we'll see."
But there are limits to that model:
- the measurement paradox (observer influences outcome)
- the role of information as basis of reality
- phenomena that don't fit linear causality
- subjective experience that does influence reality
- synchronicity, direction and field sense that prove repeatable
Not as magic, but as dynamics.
And that's where it gets interesting.
An alternative hypothesis: consciousness as field
In QBM I explore consciousness as a carrying field. Not as metaphysics, but as a working hypothesis that better explains certain phenomena:
1. Consciousness seems to respond non-locally
You see something coming without reason.
You feel direction before there's information.
Some connections feel immediate, not time-bound.
This resembles field behavior, not brain signals.
2. Intention influences dynamics
Not through willpower, but through attunement.
You see it in coherent moments: timing, synchronicity, unexpected openings.
Matter sometimes seems to respond to direction.
3. Flow arises through ordering, not effort
When I (observer), V (direction) and O (field) become aligned, the system accelerates.
Not mystical — just the mechanics of coherence.
Why I take this seriously
Because it keeps returning.
- in field moments
- in choices that present themselves
- in timing too precise to ignore
- in perception beneath behavior
- in coherent events that repeat in exactly the same structure
The pattern is robust.
Not always spectacular, but consistent.
And if something is consistent, it deserves investigation.
This article is therefore not a claim.
It's an invitation to intellectual honesty:
What if consciousness is not a side issue, but the missing link in how reality organizes itself?
Consciousness as parameter, not byproduct
Perhaps consciousness doesn't need to be "explained".
Perhaps it's a given.
As fundamental as space, time and energy.
A parameter that:
- provides direction
- enables correlations
- orders information
- generates coherence
- influences interaction
Not as personal mind —
but as a field that permeates everything.
Why this belongs under 'Ideas'
These kinds of thoughts are seeds.
Hypotheses.
Speculative explorations that don't need to have form yet, but do provide direction.
Ideas that don't necessarily have to be true, but that open something: a new line of thought, a different perspective, a broader context for the fieldwork I do daily.
Consciousness as missing link is such an idea.
Not a conclusive model, but a direction that keeps returning —
in experience, in synchronicity, in coherence, in choice, in the field.
An idea that may be inevitable.
Certainly if you keep looking long enough.
