Can Science `explain' Consciousness ?

Abstract

Consciousness is the process by which one attributes `meaning' to the world. Considering Fφllesdal's definition of `meaning' as the joint product of all `evidence' that is available to those who `communicate', we conclude that science can, not only reduce all the evidence to a Basic Entity (we call BE), but also can `explain' consciousness once a suitable definition for communication is found that exploits the quantum superposition principle to incorporate the fuzzyness of our experience. Consciousness may be beyond `computability', but it is not beyond `communicability'.
