According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, invented in the middle of the Carlsberg brewery in 1926 by Niels Bohr, the world-as-known-to-science is not a model of the real world but is -- at one step remove -- a model of the human mind building a model of the real world. The science of sciences, then, THE SCIENCE, the fountainhead, becomes epistemology, which is a branch of human psychology, which is a branch of primate psychology and of primate neurology. The primate genetic imperatives of territoriality, pack hierarchy, rage-threat reflexes, rule by an alpha male, all play a role in the theorizing/modeling of domesticated primates like us. Or, as Eddington said, "We have certain preconceived notions of location in space that have come down to us from ape-like ancestors." Get into your brain, into the Jungian "collective unconscious", the DNA archives, to find the origin of philosophy, art, and modern physics including the Copenhagen Interpretation.
But according to David Bohm (1952) the quantum jump is controlled by a subquantum hidden variable which is non-local:
here, there, and everywhere in space
now, then and everywhen in time.
If Bohm is right, the primate brain (which devised Lear and Beethoven's Ninth and tic-tac-toe along with quantum mechanics) is the product of DNA architectual design to terraform Terra, which is dependent upon quantum bonding of the DNA helix which, in turn, is determined by quantum jumpiness determined itself by the hidden variable, non-local in spacetime, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent as any theologian's God.
If Bohr is right, the primary study is that of the brain and consciousness (primate neurology); but if Bohm is right, the primary study is that of the hidden variable non-local in spacetime (cosmic organization: negative entropy).
Since Bohr himself said, "The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true", we can synthesize Bohr/Bohm and conclude that primate neurology = the hidden variable, which in pre-scientific language would read: the soul = God, except that to be true to Bohm and Bell's Theorem (1964), primate neurology (the soul) also = any other point-event which has a view of the universe as accurate as that of any other point-event, so that if the hidden variable = God, so does the lampshade or the blue spruce (which is what any Buddhist or acid-head will tell you even without studying quantum mechanics).
