This is an interesting idea. Something embedded in the universe itself could not remember everything which impacted it, it would have to deterministically pass the information on into other parts of the universe (unless of course it compressed it heavily as we do with our subjective view of reality). So you could imagine a sort of scribe writing down everything that they experienced (sucking in all neuron information and storing it in some sort of memory device) but they would have trouble accessing this information in a reliable manner.

I like this idea in concept, but think it is wrong. I do not think there exists a mind which is independent of matter- it would have to be detectable in some way. Now arguably we have not developed the measuring tools which could measure it, but I think it is just wishful thinking to assume that something "outside" of the universe exists projecting into reality. I would claim that anything projecting into our reality exists within our reality, by definition.

So now are you equating the two as the same entity, or merely as similar entities which can encompasse nonlocality? I think it is "fun" to think of our brains as existing as quantum superpositions, but it is an incorrect view- there is a simpler view, which is merely that our brains are a bunch of neurons which do have quantum mechanical interactions (with randomness) but not with carefully arranged interference patterns.

I like this idea (in both that I think it is a cool idea, and that I would like to believe it) but I don't believe it nor do I think it has merit- why? Because there is no need to reach into another dimension or other imaginary parts of physics to describe the behaviors of the neuron agents around us. Of course, it is possible, but I would think it would be more like "the mind" rather than "many minds floating around looking for a ship to sail in"
I spent many a lab studying neurons, and they are capable of great feats of mathematics and induction without requiring any extra baggage of corpusculent beings or projections into other universes. However, I think it is a cool idea.
