| Abstract: | Current physics implicitly assumes matter is fundamental, life and mentality being secondary. There are reasons for thinking that such a picture may be incomplete, leading to error. This lecture describes a new conceptual foundation that reverses the order of things, making life and mentality more basic than matter. The slides accompanying the lecture (which should be opened in a separate window) can be viewed at http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/224779.
