Title: Quantum General Relativistic Framework 5: The Physical Foundations of Unconsciousness and Consciousness Matter with Retro-causality.

Abstract: This is the fifth update for the quantum gravity framework project. The research work has been split into two parts: Part A deals with unconscious matter, while Part B deals with conscious matter. I introduce retrocausality in both. The separate parts are given in this paper with their own abstracts. Part A, based on the first five papers, I finalize a three-set of fundamental postulates for understanding time, quantum reduction, and consciousness from quantum general relativistic concepts. Then I introduce a new reduction theory that includes retrocausality and spontaneous reduction, and further concepts to include conscious and unconscious influence. Then I discuss in mathematical detail the three postulates in the quantum general relativistic framework. Toward the end, I discuss sample calculations and experimental verifications. I summarize various calculations done in the previous versions of the Quantum General Relativistic Framework. In Part B of this paper, I propose a set of ideas to explain the phenomena of life and consciousness in the universe and their relation to the interpretation of quantum mechanics using my past papers and other important work. Consciousness is described as a result of specific dynamical configurations of matter and fields aided by fundamental properties of nature proposed in this paper. First, I review the various theories of consciousness in current literature and come up with various hypotheses, definitions, and propositions to build a physical theory of consciousness. I propose three sets of postulates on the physical foundations of consciousness from a quantum general relativistic background, using the proposals in Quantum General Relativistic Framework 5, part A, to understand time and reduction. Various new concepts are introduced. The concept of classicum is introduced for the first time as an analog of quantum, and its relation to conscious being is discussed. Mathematical models for various ideas are discussed. I discuss theory and experiments to verify these.
