Holonomic Brain Theory
Different experiments have shown that memory is not lost when the brain is sliced in different directions. This defies the assumption of memory storage in any specific part of the brain and its transfer through neuronal networks to other parts. On the other hand, when bio electric waves are stopped using electric shock the memory remains intact after recovery. These facts suggest that memories are not wired within neuronal nets, but are diffused in the brain (Schmitt 1966).The Hebbian Synapse theory is one explanation for non local storage of memories. The Holographic Theory of Mind is another one that can offer explanations for the non-locality of memory storage in the brain .Therefore, it is important for us to investigate it.
Holography
In 1947, Dennis Gabor discovered the original optical holography. He showed that the information pattern of a three-dimensional (3-D) object can be encoded in a beam of light. Later on, the discovery of the laser helped put the idea into experiment.
A hologram is a three- dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser. To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film. When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.58
The feature of a holographic film which is of interest to us is the non-locality of its image. If we cut the film in smaller pieces every piece has the whole information of the original image so each illuminated piece still shows us the whole image.
Twentieth Century physicist David Bohm believed that the reason subatomic particles are entangled, even though they are far apart from each other, is because:
At some deeper level of reality such particles are not individual entities, but are actually extensions of the same fundamental something.5
He considered this something a super-hologram that contains the information about past, present, and future and also includes the spatial data. In my model, I have assumed that this ‘something’ is in a way the same singularity that has started the universe .
According to Louis de Broglie the French Physicist and Nobel Prize winner, any particle or object has an associated wave motion. We also assume in the Particle-Wave Function chapter that every particle during its wave cycles enters and exits singularity. That is how interconnection and entanglement is achieved.
One can say that the image of singularity that I am trying to draw above is an extended version of holographic theory.
Fourier Transform
Let us look at the light and its data-transferring ability. When the sun-light reflects at a distant mountain, all the information is restored in a beam of light, which is heading towards us. To a certain extent, it does not matter how narrow you choose that beam of light, when we conjugate the information by using the lens of a camera, we still get the whole picture of the actual mountain.
