Revised December 2017 Abstract for Part 1 Schrodinger Fundamentals Practitioners of quantum mechanics (QM) have known for some time that observations are probability based and that consciousness is involved [18][3]. Our mind is very good at creating an internal model of the information it receives from reality. Schrodinger’s equation helps understand the relationship between reality, our internal model, energy and time. I believe in physical reality but also believe that consciousness is a fundamental characteristic of nature. Evidence will be presented that consciousness created physical nature and provides structure that allows consciousness to re-emerge. Over centuries physical nature has been well characterized in terms of particles, fields, etc. It is not difficult to characterize these with information models. We will show energy components for neutrons, protons and electrons and their associated probabilities. Nature is based on quantum circles but they can be real or information based. The difference is important and leads to clues regarding nature’s enduring questions. Part 2 of this document presents details that support the part 1 concepts.
