In contrast to panpsychism, one prominent argument emerging from this discourse suggests that consciousness should not be treated as a property of matter but as a process. This perspective emphasizes that consciousness arises from a sequence of events rather than being an inherent attribute of physical objects. The ideation here is that consciousness is akin to the collapses observed at the quantum level, particularly emphasizing processes like quantum state collapse in microtubules—structures in neural processes thought to play a crucial role in the emergence of consciousness.
