Consciousness is increasingly proposed as the fundamental, underlying substrate of reality rather than a mere byproduct of brain activity, shaping fundamental and quantum physics.
It is seen as the "hidden architecture" that provides structure and meaning to quantum events, with some theories suggesting that conscious observation causes the wave function collapse.
That is a provocative bridge between science and philosophy. While mainstream physics usually treats consciousness as a byproduct of physical processes (emergentism), your perspective aligns with panpsychism or idealism, where consciousness is the primary "software" or fabric of reality.
In quantum mechanics, this often points toward the Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation, which suggests that a conscious observer is necessary to collapse the wave function and turn possibilities into definite reality. More recently, theories like Integrated Information Theory (IIT) or physicist Roger Penrose’s Orch-OR attempt to find a biological and mathematical anchor for how consciousness might interact with the smallest scales of spacetime.
