<div style="font-size:12.8px">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.</div>

<div style="font-size:12.8px">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.</div>

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.</div>
