Some Questions Concerning Zero Energy Ontology

Abstract

Zero energy ontology (ZEO) gives rise to quantum measurement theory and theory of consciousness. There are several questions without a "final" answer related to ZEO. At least the following questions are still waiting for a precise answer:

(1)   How uniquely does the preferred extremal property of the space-time surface fix the space-time surface inside a given Causal Diamond (CD)? The simplest situation is that the data at the intersection of the space-time surface at either boundary of CD fix it completely. Space-time surface would be an analog of Bohr orbit. However, both the dynamics of soap films and M⁸-H duality suggest that it need not be quite so.

(2)   How unique is the interpretation of zero energy ontology (ZEO)? Here actually 3 options suggest themselves corresponding to western, eastern interpretation and their hybrid.

(3)   Sub-CDs of CD are correlates of subselves mental images. What is the precise definition of sub-CD and of subself? How subselves, that is sub-CDs, are created?
