  • 14 Consciousness and Logic in a Quantum-Computing Universe
    14 Consciousness and Logic in a Quantum-Computing Universe Paola Zizzi Summary. The early inflationary universe can be described in terms of quantum information. More specifically, the inflationary universe can be viewed as a su- perposed state of quantum registers. Actually, during inflation, one can speak of a quantum superposition of universes. At the end of inflation, only one universe is selected, by a mechanism called self-reduction, which is consistent with Penrose’s objective reduction (OR) model. The quantum gravity threshold of (OR) is reached at the end of inflation, and corresponds to a superposed state of 109 quantum reg- isters. This is also the number of superposed tubulins – qubits in our brain, which undergo the Penrose–Hameroff orchestrated objective reduction, (Orch OR), lead- ing to a conscious event. Then, an analogy naturally arises between the very early quantum-computing universe, and our mind. In fact, we argue that at the end of in- flation, the universe underwent a cosmic conscious event, the so-called “Big Wow”, which acted as an imprinting for the future minds to come, with future modes of computation, consciousness and logic. The postinflationary universe organized it- self as a cellular automaton (CA) with two computational modes: quantum and classical, like the two conformations assumed by the cellular automaton of tubulins in our brain, as in Hameroff’s model. In the quantum configuration, the universe quantum-evaluates recursive functions, which are the laws of physics in their most abstract form. To do so in a very efficient way, the universe uses, as subroutines, black holes – quantum computers and quantum minds, which operate in parallel.

  • Response to the Scottish Government's Reducing Health Harms Of
    Response to the Scottish Government’s Reducing Health Harms of Foods High in Fat, Sugar or Salt Consultation Paper From Obesity Action Scotland Deadline: 9th January 2019 About Obesity Action Scotland Obesity Action Scotland welcomes this consultation and the opportunity to provide our views. Obesity Action Scotland is a unit that was established in summer 2015 to provide clinical leadership and independent advocacy on preventing and reducing overweight and obesity in Scotland. It is funded by a grant from the Scottish Government and hosted by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow on behalf of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Faculties. The main aims of the Unit are: • To raise awareness and understanding of what drives obesity and the health problems associated with obesity and overweight with health practitioners, policy makers and the public • To evaluate current research and identify strategies to prevent obesity and overweight based on the best available evidence • To work with key organisations in Scotland, the rest of the UK and worldwide, to promote healthy weight and wellbeing • The Steering Group of Obesity Action Scotland has members across various disciplines involved in preventing and tackling obesity and its consequences e.g. clinicians, public health experts, epidemiologists, nutritionists and dieticians, GPs and weight management experts. General comments This consultation deals with restrictions of the promotion and marketing of foods high in fat, sugar and salt to reduce health harms associated with excessive consumption. We strongly agree that action in this area is urgently required. We support the Scottish Government in its aims to bring forward legislation in this area.

And this makes it of the first importance that the facts from which that usage and practice are to be deduced should be correctly appre- ciated, and in particular that the great treaties which have regulated the status and territorial rights of nations should be studied from the point of view of history and international law. It is the object of this book to present materials for that study in an accessible form. The scope of the book is limited, and wisely limited, to treaties between the nations of Europe, and to treaties between those nations from 1815 onwards. To include all treaties affecting all nations would require volumes nor is it for the many ; necessary, purpose of obtaining a sufficient insight into the history and usage of European States on such matters as those to which these treaties relate, to go further back than the settlement which resulted from the Napoleonic wars.
