Relative State Formulation and the Many Worlds Paradigm
Examining Consciocentrism's Interpretation of Quantum Foundations
There are several competing interpretations of quantum foundations.
ConscioCentrism most closely relates to Hugh Everett's Relative State Formulation of quantum mechanics, which is more popularly known as the "Many Worlds Interpretation". This interpretation is the most holistic, austere interpretation of quantum wave collapse.
The main complaint to the Many World's paradigm that arises for some physicists is that people have a hard time accepting the idea of a infinite possible variations of the state of reality (ie: the Many Worlds) ConscioCentrism introduces some principles that fundamentally alter the interpretation:
1. Consciousness is fundamental to all matter. If you analyze Relative State Formulation from the perspective that only humans are conscious, and that we're all separate without any conscious connection, then this produces an interpretation that we may all need to live in our own unique branch of the Many Worlds of possibility. This is the primary compliant by some, and is about as far from the Realism / Determinism / Fate ideas as possible. ConscioCentrism states that consciousness is interconnected and fundamental to all matter, and our consciousness extends beyond our bodies to everything we touch, our family, friends, community, and every object we interact with. Within the ConscioCentric paradigm, we don't consider everyone existing in separate branches of the many worlds. Rather, the many worlds follow a very real chain of causality from the collective actions of all consciousness, and, at the moment of now, there is a very solid, real world that we all are experiencing together.
2. The second part of the ConscioCentric interpretation of the Many World's paradigm, is that we don't exist in just one of the Many Worlds universes, but all of them simultaneously. Consciousness exists in this Many Worlds realm, and we are always looking through the stack of possibilities and seeing overlaps. What we experience as "Solid Reality" in the moment of now, is a stacked composite image of the Many Worlds. The solidity of the moment of now is the result of so many layers of the Many Worlds agreeing on the specific location of matter in the moment of now. As a though experiment, the Many Worlds can be thought of as translucent pieces of paper stacked on top of each other, each with an outline of the state/location of matter in the universe. If you stack a 1000 of these many world potential layers, at the moment of now, you might have 997 of them reporting matter in extremely close states. When you look down through these translucent layers, you see a solid outline where the majority of Many Worlds overlap. That is what we see as solid reality - a composite image of the Many Worlds of possibilities. It's a extremely high probability composite, but possibly never 100.00%, even in the moment of now which we collectively experience through the arrow of time. As we unhinge our consciousness from focus on the present, and look backward in time, or forward in time, we see the Many World's as less clear in their overlap - this is the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and causality.
3. We take for granted that our consciousness has the ability to experience anything other than the moment of now. Take a moment to consider the amazing ability of the minds eye to look backward in time to memories, forward in time with foresight, or sideways through time to potential alternate choices and branches of causality. These abilities of consciousness cannot be fully explained unless consciousness is a fundamental characteristic residing in the realm of 4D spacetime, or 5D many-verse. This is consciousness traversing the Many Worlds medium. When we visualize a past historic moment, or visualize our future, we are time traveling in the many worlds, away from the collective moment of now, into another 3D location and 4D time index in the many-verse. The Many-Verse can be described as an infinite stack of possible 4D spacetime blocks- aka: the 5th Dimension. That is the core of what promotion to the next dimension is... giving an infinite canvas of possible variants of the previous dimensions.

Hugh EverettPhysicist, Quantum Foundations Pioneer "The Many-World's Interpretation is the only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world."
Jason CooperInformation Systems Engineer, Data Scientist, Consciocentric Creator "Consciocentrism posits that the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics indicates another dimension perpendicular to the time dimension, which allows for the probabilistic nature of reality, plus branching and freewill -- and that consciousness exists in not just one of the many worlds at any given time, but in all of them -- the solid reality of the moment of now is a highly aligned, stacked composite image of the 5D manyverse of possibility."
Brian GreenePhysicist, Mathematician, String Theorist, Author "Whereas Bohr and the Copenhagen gang would argue that only one of these universes would exist (because the act of measurement, which they claim lies outside of Schrodinger's purview, would collapse away all the others), and whereas a first-pass attempt to go beyond Bohr and extend Schrodinger's math to all particles, including those constituting equipment and brains, yielded dizzying confusion (because a given machine or mind seemed to internalize all possible outcomes simultaneously), Everett found that a more careful reading of Schrodinger's math leads somewhere else: to a plentiful reality populated by an ever-growing collection of universes."
Brian GreenePhysicist, Mathematician, String Theorist, Author "There's a difference between making predictions and understanding them. The beauty of physics, its raison d'etre, is that it offers insights into why things in the universe behave the way they do. The ability to predict behavior is a big part of physics' power, but the heart of physics would be lost if it didn't give us a deep understanding of the hidden reality underlying what we observe. And should the Many Worlds approach be right, what a spectacular reality our unwavering commitment to understanding predictions will have uncovered."
