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...

The Silence Paradigm: A Theoretical Framework and Protocol for Testing the von Neumann–Wigner Interpretation Using Controlled Observer States in Shielded Environments

A foundational problem in physics remains unresolved: the role of the conscious observer in quantum measurement. This paper develops a theoretical framework, the Silence Paradigm, that generates testable predictions bearing on that problem. It treats the observer's state of consc...
