On the Nature of Conscious-Awareness

Consciousness is aware of itself by degrees of coherent self-integration, or lack thereof, within local/relative frames of reference ("personal" perspectives). "Awareness" is the non-dualistic concept describing the fundamental "fabric" of spatiotemporal causality relations (i.e. quantum entanglement field, "Universal Spirit", "Source", "Collective Unconscious", etc.), whereas "consciousness" is a dualistic (relativistic) concept describing the degree to which information (energy) is "locally" integrated/entangled (self-perceiving).

Now, tie in the Standing-Wave Theory of Matter, which understands "particles" to be nothing more than the dynamic centers of standing-waves (a simultaneous inward and outward propagation of information/energy waves). As inward flowing information converges at a focal point all component quanta become quantumly entangled with one another (all information quanta are integrated/synchronized/mutually-aware at that relative position in space-time) and pass on through as an outward propagating flow of information. A self-aware being "exists" (from its own point of view) only at the infinitesimally small convergence point of information flow in space-time.

From the perspective of a self-aware "mind" with the conceptual notion of past & future, the "past" is the outward information that has already passed through the focal center of its awareness (the infinitesimal slice of space-time called "now") and the "future" is the inward propagating flow of information that hasn't yet converged at this "center of gravity" of awareness. We hazily remember bits and pieces of the "past" because elements of our present-moment brain are still quantumly entangled with elements of our past-moment brain that had encoded the environmental information processed at the time of perception.  Memory is holographic, because the brain makes deliberate use of quantum entanglement to store and recall past brain-states.  The future cannot be perceived because entanglement with that future information-state "has yet to occur".

One significant issue inherent to the nature of biological quantum memory is that the quantum entanglements forming the memory are with past brain states and not with the actual past environmental objects that were experienced, the memory encoded is of a brain-state of perceptions already skewed in their construction by physical, emotional, and cognitive biases.  Such memory is constructive in that the brain naturally attempts to fill in the missing gaps.  (Hence why witness testimony is 'notoriously unreliable'.)  A second significant issue inherent to biological quantum memory is that it is subject to quantum decoherence simply due to the fluctuating operating environment of the brain's "wetwear".  Whether due to a brain injury, a brain disease, or the simple entropy induced by the passage of time, our biological memories are subject to fading away, becoming "fuzzier," and being 'reconstructed' (modified) as gaps in the memories form.

This overall conceptual framework ties into the concept of an infinite multi-verse in the sense that there are an infinite number of points/positions in space-time in which information converges from an infinite number of directions, and therefore an infinite number of foci of self-awareness exist experiencing a uniquely different version of the "universe". Each foci of awareness can only perceive a particular universe that is self-consistent with itself. Coherent/fully-integrated awareness can only exist at the infinitesimal cross-section of space-time that a particular awareness understands as "here & now". In other words, there are infinite number of 'transpersonal layers' (space-time layers) of consciousness that are self-aware. (All of this agrees remarkably well with Buddhist metaphysics as well.)
