This man gets his own blog entry because someone once suggested that what I was saying was no different than what he had said. Which, at the time, led me to purchase and devour the newly-published book The Physics of Consciousness (2000) and which led to me accumulating quite a file of EHW articles. According to web reports, he recently passed away.
The earliest EHW material I have concerns attempts to link quantum physics to psi phenomena. (I heard that groan.) Some of it is quite mathematical in nature, but the basic premise of his idea remains the same - he attempts to define the data rate of Consciousness (C) and posits a Will channel (W) that has a much smaller data rate capacity but which can still influence Consciousness in a way that would produce psychokinetic-like effects. He also speculated on ways to enhance the W/C signal-to-noise ratio to boost psi effects.
A reviewer of Walker's 1979 paper in Psychoenergetic Systems notes that while EHW suggests that the observer selects the state obtained, he did not convincingly address how this interaction was effected. I have been unable to find any specific attempts on his (EHW) part to address this issue in later work, though he concedes numerous times that "the conscious state experienced is correlated with the state into which the state vector collapses." (Journal of Indian Psychology, 1985)
My own work has always been attempting to breakdown the effects of different components of various types of cognitive representations and link them to contributions to state selection. At the time I was focused on the various ways and degrees of representing a point in time.
"The truth does exist, and when the truth is honestly sought, with a mind that is ready to accept the truth, whatever the truth turns out to be, then the answers do come, and the answers change people." - EHW, The Physics of Consciousness (2000), p. 13.
"We stand at the threshold of a revolution in thinking that transcends anything that has happened in a thousand years." - EHW, The Physics of Consciousness (2000), p. 137.
