One theory about the mechanism responsible for what we perceive as
"the conscious mind" places the seat of memory and thought not at the
level of neurons and the electro-chemical messages they exchange, but
at a sub-cellular level. This theory holds that the thought process
occurs in sub-cellular structures called micro-tubules, and that the
thought process is a result of quantum mechanical fluctuations in the
atoms that make up the micro-tubule walls.
I haven't heard much about the research into the above theory, but if
thought and memory are the result of a quantum mechanical process,
then total precision becomes of prime importance.
