Supposedly one needs a brain at least 1/100th the size of the human brain
in order to have our self aware "large scale" consciousness... smaller
brains act like the human subconscious... and our subconscious is
supposedly a smaller number of particles at work... the subconscious is
supposedly more in tune with the mind of the universe and thus could be
responsible for symbols like the Enneagram... the soul in these theories
is a continuous mathematical "worldline" through the multiverse...
spiritual ideas like God and heaven could definitely be physics
processes but that doesn't make the spiritual ideas wrong, they were just
noticed in a different (dreams/prophecy/etc) way. The mind of God/heaven
could be a complete universe acting as a Quantum computer... supposedly
this would happen with a phase transition to a period less than the
Planck time and there's a branch of physics called Simplex physics that
deals with the resulting "quantum computer"... this quantum computer
would be more like mathematical truth tables in superposition rather than
definitive particles in superposition... it is definitely not a totally
understood thing in the scientific sense... The Christian Trinity should
be related to sentience just like heaven is related to Simplex physics
but I don't think anyone has tried to relate them yet (wish I had a
phd in physics& biology instead of just a bachelors in Electrical
Engineering)... I'm at IBM's original site in Endicott, NY (I don't
remember whether you've asked me this before either)... I'm in an Optical
Test (for circuit boards) group, I actually do more programming than
engineering now, there's still alot of hardware development going on, I'm
just not as involved in it as I used to be... I may move to a
semiconductor test group here in Endicott later this year... IBM's
quantum stuff is done at the Almaden Reserch Center in San Jose... John
