Part 3/8:
One of the crucial tenets of quantum mechanics is the role of measurement—a process that many posit may only occur through conscious experience. If consciousness does play a role in the physical world, what implications does this have for our understanding of reality? Some theorists propose a reductionist approach, attempting to explain consciousness via quantum processes. However, many argue that such reductionism may be inadequate, with a more promising path lying in understanding how consciousness is integrated into the fabric of quantum mechanics without reducing it to mere physical processes.
