Title: Mind, brain, consciousness, and the quantum observer: A 
speculative lecture

Abstract:
Stuart Kauffman is one of the founders of the field of Complex Systems. 
In his influential book "The Origins of Order" he  argued that the 
origin of the complexity of biological systems might arise as much from 
dynamical self-organization as from natural selection. 
He introduced the Kauffman models to the study of
autocatalytic sets related to the origin of life, gene regulatory 
networks and fitness landscapes in evolutionary biology.

He has been one of the main figures in the Santa Fe Institute in New 
Mexico and presently he holds the Finland Distinguished Professor 
position at TTKK.
