The Silence Experiment: A Multi-State Protocol for Detecting Consciousness-Dependent Decoherence in Shielded Environments

This paper specifies a controlled experimental protocol for testing the von Neumann-Wigner interpretation of quantum mechanics, the hypothesis that consciousness plays a role in quantum state reduction, against the prevailing environmental decoherence framework. It measures wheth...
