imagine this:

a subatomic particle's position is actualized when we observe it.

imagine if consciousness is subatomic particle observation manifesting as life.

when you die you stop observing and therefore return to the realm of probability and leave the real of actualization

That's something like what I think is going on.

What is observation? What is information? What is computation? What is a mind?

I think obviously minds naturally emerge, and observation by them does something to quantum systems, so something about what a mind is interacts in some way on a quantum level with everything around it. How it all ties together I don't know, but I think it's something about "when you observe a quantum system you get entangled with it in some way" and everything is a quantum system. I think we can describe the structure of the universe, including consciousness, when we understand all the different types of entanglement and how the nest within each other, and I think there's probably an interesting temporal aspect to it that we don't even know about yet.
