The Fundamental Mind Interpretation (FMI) of physics uses scientific evidence to build an argument for mind as a fundamental aspect of our universe. Mind as an Alternative to Randomness A core "assumption" in physics and biology is that "random" processes at one scale of matter can explain the complex structures and goal-directed behaviors of matter that appear at higher scales. Randomness assumptions at the scale of elementary particles, molecules, and cells will be discussed and shown to create causation gaps in scientific theories. The Fundamental Mind Interpretation (FMI) was developed to address these gap in causation. FMI posits mind as a non-random cognitive agency embedded within elementary particles that combine to form more complex minds as the forces of nature combine matter into more complex forms. Replacing the quantum randomness assumption with cognitive agency allows FMI to remain consistent with scientific evidence at all scales while resolving causation gaps that result from randomness assumptions at multiple scales. This page will provide an evolving summary of FMI as it is being developed, with the complete interpretation expected to be published in our 2028 joint sequel. Cells Have Minds Our books discuss scientific research showing that cells can communicate, collaborate, and solve problems - demonstrating cognition and agency which we view as evidence that cells have minds. We hypothesize that cells may be able to electromagnetically combine their minds to form the more complex minds of multicellular organisms. Our books provide background and a scientific foundation for our search for mind deeper into matter. Secret Language of Cells Cellular Mind How Minds Combine Asserting that minds can combine faces the classic mind "Combination Problem" articulated and discussed by philosophers of mind. Two solutions are proposed which use existing scientific theory to show how rudimentary minds could combine to form more complex minds from the quantum scale to the human scale. Just one assumption is required - that the universal scientific laws which apply to all forms of matter and energy at all scales of the universe should apply equally to mind at all scales. Minds Combine via Forces of Nature How Minds Can Combine The properties of the quantum scale are well suited for the mind of any combined matter structure to influence the behaviors of it components parts. Most of the mysteries in quantum physics exist because the theory does not define what constitutes an observer or a measurement. By defining mind as an observer, FMI provides a framework for how the collective mind of matter at any scale can exert agency over the elementary particles that form its physical structure. Mind Influences Matter Mind Can Influence Matter at all Scales Quantum Framework Mind-Matter Interaction Coming Summer 2026 Coming Summer 2026 Molecular Mind Molecules Exhibit Evidence of Mind Scientists discovered molecules inside cells that appear to exhibit goal-directed behaviors. Random molecule collisions is the current hypothesis to explain how molecules move in preferred directions, but it is implausible to expect random collisions to explain how billions of molecules inside a cell can orchestrate the millions of complex and highly coordinated chemical reactions necessary to sustain life. The subcellular world can best be understood as a society of molecules with minds working together to keep their cellular ecosystem alive. Causation Gaps Coming Summer/Fall 2026 Molecular Mind Coming Fall 2026 Fundamental Mind in Quantum Vacuum The quantum vacuum grounds the quantum fields of all elementary particles. This substrate exists below the Planck scale and contains highly energetic "quantum fluctuations" that physicists model as "virtual particles" which power are needed to power particle interactions in quantum mechanics. This suggests the vacuum essentially grounds, powers, and connects all matter and energy in our universe. Under FMI it also grounds, powers, and connects all minds in our universe.

Searching For Mind explores scientific evidence for mind existing at different scales of matter. This website searches for scientific evidence of mind at all scales of the universe Our Books The creators of this website each wrote a book presenting evidence of cellular scale communication, cognition, and agency that cannot be explained by modern science, which the authors view as evidence that cells have minds. Since early 2024 we have been exploring scientific research looking for evidence of mind in smaller scales of matter including organelles, viruses, molecules, and elementary particles. Book Overviews Our Blogs Our search for mind at different scales of the universe uncovered evidence for mind at many scales, leading to the hypothesis that mind is may be a fundamental aspect of our universe. Our blogs discuss this evidence from a scientific perspective, absent metaphysical bias, focused on identifying gaps in scientific theories that fit with the possibility of mind operating at different scales. View Blogs Our Theory Our joint sequel will offer an alternative interpretation of scientific evidence where mind is treated as a fundamental aspect of the universe. The Fundamental Mind Interpretation (FMI) replaces the assumption that elementary particles behave "randomly" with the assumption that they have the "cognitive agency of a mind." This interpretation remains consistent with the scientific evidence at all scales of the universe while resolving mysteries and causation gaps in scientific theories.

Evidence that single cells behaves as if they have minds that experience their world. Both membrane-bound organelles and membrane-less organelles have been found to communicate and coordinate their activities in complex highly ways that simply defy scientific explanation. The individual components that make up cells appear to have minds. Keyword Search Humans Animals Plants Cells Microbes Organelles Viruses Molecules Mysteries 此語言尚未有已發佈之文章 文章發佈後將於此處顯示。

Evidence that single cells behaves as if they have minds that experience their world. Individual cells actively communicate with other cells via a complex electro-chemical language that scientists are only in the earliest stages of trying to comprehend. The ability to communicate via complex language is a strong indicator of the presence of a mind.

Blog discussing the scientific evidence of the human brain and mind. Despite centuries of brain research, no theory exists to explain how human brains can generate a mind. In fact, this hypothesis is directly challenged by modern scientific research on cellular scale intelligence. We believe "all" cells in your body create your mind, not just brain cells.

Evidence that viruses behave as if they have minds that experience their world. Viruses are considered a "non-living" form of matter because they lack metabolic processes. Yet viruses attack and take over much larger cells, reproduce, communicate, and coordinate their activity with viruses in other cells. These behaviors suggest that viruses have minds.
