Metaphysical Theory #023420498:

Going with the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics... The wave form collapse can only be initiated when a "conscious" observer "observes" the particle(s)/energy that is superposition. This is usually done in science by taking a measurement. Some physicists further extend the idea to the macro level (Schrodinger's Cat etc...) and say that just looking at or sensing an object in superposition collapses the wave form.

Anyway... What makes something "Conscious"? In Metaphysical Theory #023420498 it is the act of being sensed/detected/experienced by another conscious entity that makes something sentient.

This means that children actually REQUIRE the attention of adults, not for emotional or developmental reasons, but for PHYSICAL reasons. The more attention they get, the more fully realized a sentient being they become - the more integrated and aware of reality they are.

This gives an alternative explanation to neglected (eastern block orphanage) children. They are damaged not from the neglect but from the deficit of wave form collapse that are necessary to become fully conscious. In the inbetween state they seem abnormal and aberrant or retarded or out of touch with reality. In actuality, the reverse is true. It is reality that is out of touch with them as they are not connected enough to it to respond consciously.
