Penrose’s Profound Mysteries
- How does the world of abstractions give rise to order in the physical world, i.e. where do the rules that govern physics come from?
- How does the physical world give rise to mental processes, i.e. what is the physical origin of consciousness and thought?
- How does the mental world access the world of abstractions, i.e. how do thinking beings come to know things that are true?
