István Dienes, Consciousness - Holomatrix – Quantized Dimensional Mechanics, (2008) in R.L. Amoroso (ed.) The Complementarity of Mind and Body: Realizing the Dream of Descartes, Einstein and Eccles, Nova Science Publishers (2010). 10.1 Introduction The present chapter after articulating a simple postulate of consciousness attempts to formulate a bew unifying concept, called the Consciousness-Holomatrix Principle1 (CHM), which may shed light on the nature of reality as acomplex self-organized system and the dynamics of the principle of self-awareness. This could help formulate a more refined definition of those systems, and give insight to the current issue of mind/matter duality in both living systems and reality as a whole. Understanding the nature of consciousness is an age-old problem; recently it has become a leading edge research area. The problem of consciousness is fundamentally importa nt for science as a whole, especially from an epistemological point of view, where the true nature and functioning of the observer is critical because all of science is based on observation. With the advancement of quantum theory this critical issue could no longer be ignored, because the problem of quantum measurement requires that a clear definition of the observer be incorporated into the description of reality as an observed phenomenon. The new CHM postulate will be utilized in an attempt to unify all the different approaches to the problem of consciousness. First a simple definition of consciousness will be given to show how the CHM principle can be unfolded from it. metaelmelet.hu/pdfek/Istvan-Dienes_MIT_cikk.pdf
