The Infamous

From his brain experiments, Dr. Grinberg derived the theory of sintérgica, a term formed by the Spanish words síntesis and energía (synthesis and energy). Dr. Grinberg also explored the implications of the EPR paradox, which asserts that, if quantum theory is a complete model of reality, non-local interactions ought to exist between particles. He set out to prove that a quantum system in the brain creates a non-local, EPR correlation among human brains. He called this phenomenon the "transferred potential" (TP), according to which a brain, suitably prepared by a period of meditation, is capable of both proximate and distant interactions with other brains, by a direct involvement of consciousness, and without sensory transmission or local effects. Dr. Grinberg further proposed that his syntergic theory can explain the emergence of conscious experience, which he saw as the outcome of complex multidimensional interactions. The brain initiates an interaction between an energetic field (neuronal field) and the structure of space and thus gives rise to consciousness. Against the naïve realism that postulates reality as external to the subject, Dr. Grinberg, adopting an idealistic stance, proposed that perception is neuropsychologically constructed, with information being located in space in the form of "complex patterns of energy." Conscious experience, he thought, properly occurs when we synthesize the information-energy in space; this is how it becomes syntergic. Neuronal changes in the brain cause micro-distortions in the framework of the space-time continuum, and these, in turn, interact to create a "hypercomplex macro-distortion" of the neuronal field. The final outcome of this process is perceptual experience. With regard to vision, the components of the neuronal field and those of the quantum field "fit together" in experience, so that the noise produced by the interaction is minimized by a specific, emergent "interference pattern" (IP). This pattern represents the structure of experience and contains the perceptual components that are perceived as lines and geometric forms, conceived as energetic forms of high complexity. The percepts, or images, which we "objectively" see as colors and objects are ultimately products of the IP. Dr. Grinberg’s ideas can be seen to relate to the "implicate order theory" developed by American physicist David Bohm, in which space is conceived as a holographic "sea of potentialities" from which the universe and consciousness unfold explicitly. Here, the quantum wave/particle duality paradox is eliminated, while the "principle of nonlocality"—the capacity of one particle to influence another instantaneously—is preserved.
