*Quantum Theory and Free Will*
Special session, fom 5
Room 304, CIIS 1453 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA  94103
Fri 3 Nov 2pm – late!

Launch of Henry Stapp’s latest book, "Quantum Theory and Free Will: How 
Mental Intent Translates into Bodily Action" (Springer, 2017) The great 
Henry Stapp, an alumnus of both Pauli’s and Heisenberg’s labs, has just 
released a book a few months short of his 90th birthday. It argues that 
responsible human action has a correlate in quantum mechanics, with Von 
Neumann’s classic treatise demonstrating how pure mind can choose a 
neural correlate in the cortex to make a measurement. Of course this is 
controversial, and we invite papers addressing it.

Sat 4 Nov 2pm – late!

The issue of now a true (post) quantum computer will work cannot be 
debated without engagement with foundational physics issues like a 
unification of General relativity with QM. Penrose’s response has been 
clear; quantum gravity supplies such unification. Since alternatives 
exist, that cannot remain the last word. Intriguingly, the Bohmian 
version of Post QM facilitates a classical description, using a 
formalism like the Lagrangian, of a Qubit filed/Pilot wave as the 
substrate for what later becomes consciousness, now biological and in 
the future perhaps artificial. In fact, computational non-determinism 
can be achieved through schemas open to retrocausality, ranging from 
Aharonov’s to Cramer’s, and envision technological applications from 
truly conscious AI, teleportation as the no-cloning theorem is refuted, 
and the end of the RSA algorithm. The active interest of the 
intelligence services with telepathy research, and the CIA’s stated 
satisfaction with their remote viewing initiative, was premiered through 
Russell Targ at FOM 4.

The format of this session is invited papers, followed by refereed such. 
As well as the topics above, we invite treatment of closed time curves, 
formal language recognition, biosemiotics and other topics writers can 
establish bear on the issue.
