What if the agent which is a quantum mechanical intelligence CAN temporarily tunnel out of the environment long enough to make certain key observations/measurements. It could be both in the embedded environment AND out at the same time as a hyper wavefunction or in the form of its own pilot wave? Thinking as a human is a quantum mechanical process to a degree. You cannot change a system from within it is a psychological norm, however if the agent is quantum mechanical in nature then it is likely neither particle nor wave but something undeterminable by other agents. The agent might be in quantum flux indefinately n’est pas? Hence incompleteness theorem in both physics and mathematics.
Not sure why the above comment was downvoted to −15. It’s a fair question, even if the person asking seems to misinterpret both quantum mechanics and mathematical logic. Quantum mechanics seems to be an accurate description of the “lower levels” of the agent’s model of the universe, and mathematical logic is a useful meta-model that helps us construct better quality models of the universe. They are not, as far, as I know, interrelated, and there is no “hence”. Additionally, while quantum mechanics is a good description of the microscopic world, it is much less useful at the level of living organisms (though ion channel opening and closing reflects the underlying quantum-mechanical tunneling), so there is no indication that human thinking is inherently quantum mechanical and could not be some day implemented by a classical computer without a huge complexity penalty.
