..., consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain
The perception of indivisualised consciousness. But I don't think Consciousness (with a big C) is that. I don't know because this little quantum brain can't fully take it all in and comprehend it, but the whole of Consciousness appears to be singular and appears to be... well.... the mainframe, maybe you might say (to use the computer metaphor).

I've seen that article before, though, I'm pretty sure. I do love it when important scientists say things like this, or postulate that the universe is, in fact, a big holographic projection of information.
