This is an audiovisual version of a paper that applies the insights of Alfred North Whitehead’s panexperiential metaphysics in light of studies in human consciousness and perception. The cognitive base for the spatial and temporal binding properties of perception is established and correlated to Whitehead’s process of concrescence. The contrast between consciousness and the unconscious is explained. Quantum principles of coherence, entanglement, and superposition are elucidated in terms of their relevance to electromagnetic theory of consciousness and Bergsonian qualitative multiplicity. Overall, it is established how as in Whitehead’s view, the electromagnetic epoch functions as one of the most ingrained conditioning habits of our universe.
