Part 5/8:
Max Tegmark, one of the principle figures at the conference, emphasizes the value of collaboration between different scientific communities. By situating diverse researchers from fields like quantum computing and neuroscience on a small island, the hope is that isolation becomes an impetus for intellectual synergy. As scientists exchange ideas and terminology—such as "entropy," "information flow," and "integration"—the boundaries limiting their distinct disciplines begin to blur. This growing interchange suggests that perhaps the studies on consciousness and quantum systems could be viewed as two sides of the same coin, connected through information.
