Holographic consciousness

Theories of holographic consciousness postulate that consciousness has structural and functional similarities to a hologram, in that the information needed to model the whole is contained within each constituent component.

Many holographic theories of consciousness draw on holographic theories of the universe which hypothesize a holographic structure of the universe as a medium for storing information. Most holographic theories of consciousness postulate that human consciousness is a part of and/or interacts with a larger field of universal consciousness, and that information within this universal consciousness is encoded according to holographic principles.

There is considerable overlap between holographic theories of consciousness and quantum theories of consciousness. Like quantum theories of consciousness, holographic theories of consciousness aim to address a perceived inability of classical mechanistic physics to explain various phenomena of consciousness.
