What do you mean by "brain eigenstates?" I know what eigenstate in relation to QM. My definition of energy is simply the product of a primary force and its local metric. This force is connected to absolute acceleration derived from Noether's theorem invariance of the Lagrangian under local infinitesimal motion equivalent to angular motion of spacetime charges. In classical mechanics, the vector product of force and its radius vector is defined as a torque while the difference of two scalar products of force and linear displacement is defined as work or kinetic energy. The scalar product of acceleration and linear displacement given unit mass is defined as potential energy. All these presume the validity of Newton's 2nd law of motion.
What Einstein did is to equate the inertial force of Newton's 2nd law of motion to his universal gravitational force and called it the principle of equivalence, implying that inertial mass is the same as gravitational mass. These two are the main concepts of mass in classical mechanics. However, in modern physics incorporating special and general relativity, there is the 3rd form of mass called relativistic mass. As far as I'm concern, there is no need of defining a 4th kind of mass as implied by the Higgs mechanism. IMO, the Higgs boson does not exist and CERN's LHC projects to search for it is a waste of time, money, and human resources.
