Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how
is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of
electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the
interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex
systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human
brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of
complexity with real causal powers. In particular it explores the
idea of top-down causation, which is the key effect allowing the
emergence of true complexity and also enables the causal efficacy
of non-physical entities, including the value of money, social
conventions, and ethical choices.
