Photon Minds: How Light Shapes Quantum Reality in Nature
At the heart of vision lies a profound quantum dialogue—light not merely as a wave or particle, but as a bridge between physics and perception. In biological systems, photons initiate quantum transitions that underpin how we see, interpret, and respond to the world. This interplay reveals nature’s subtle architecture, where light’s quantum behavior sculpts the very fabric of conscious experience. From the molecular dance in photoreceptors to the evolutionary tuning of spectral sensitivity, light operates not just as energy, but as meaningful information—a photon mind woven through life.
