Popis: The physical description, from the small to the large, the physical to the biological, and the material to the mental are reconsidered from a quantum chemical perspective fostering an isomorphic bridge between the qualitative states of the physical brain and the conjugate mind. The material-immaterial gap is intertwined by a Fourier-Laplace transform relating the material brain with its evolved mental properties, embodying a whole universe inside itself. The conjugate relationship between the resolvent and the evolution operator, generalized to encompass dissipative system-dynamics, exhibits higher order singularities and an acausal stochastic Poissonian time propagation. It is demonstrated that fusing quantum and thermal correlations at normothermia, operates a Maxwell Demon and a perfect Carnot Engine, indicating a fundamental quantum-chemistry-principle of life. The theory suggests a hierarchical structure, based on a syntactic ‘complex Godel-like quantum unit’, the thermo-qulet, for molecular storage and communication, and a neurophysical conception of a self-referential identity theory. The theoretical foundation displays a remarkable analogy with the ancient Almagest treatise, ascribed to the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy.
