Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of substantiating the quantum basis of consciousness. We put forward a hypothesis which suggests interpreting the reduction of the wave function in quantum mechanics as the realization of psychophysical wholeness in the act of interaction of the objective physical world and the researher's subjective world. Aspects are noted which can constitute a categorical basis for a hypothetic substantial-informational ontology. Unlike the well-known informational approaches, we introduce the concept of an information source of a substantial nature.
