Consciousness and Physical Explanation

Stathine–Coexon reinterpretation of Roger Penrose’s work. Original conceptual formulation by Anand Damani.

Roger Penrose has argued that human understanding and consciousness may involve physical processes that cannot be adequately explained by conventional computational models alone. His views remain debated.

“If consciousness cannot be fully explained as conventional computation, the Coexon hypothesis asks whether sentient information requires an ontological description beyond the measurable operations of the physical brain.”

This is not a claim that Penrose supports Coexon. It is a conceptual extension of the question about the limits of computational explanation.
