Abstract

We address the relation between two apparently distinct problems: the quest for a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness and intentionality and the search for time and space as emergent structures in the quantum mechanical world. We also advance a toy-model proposal of emergence of time from a timeless quantum-like space by borrowing ideas from Aharonov's two state formalism of quantum mechanics.We further speculate on these issues within a quantum cognitive perspective.We discuss both concepts and their relation with our main thesis: that time is a measure of individuality.
