Abstract: 
This article is devoted to the TGD based view about time, space-time, and consciousness. The article begins with an updated view about the notions of many-sheeted space-time and topological field quantization taking remote metabolism as an example about the new biophysics made possible by negative energy MEs and many-sheeted space-time.

The TGD based view about time and intentionality is analyzed. The basic new result is the characterization of intentionality as a local randomness combined with long range temporal correlations realized in terms of p-adic fractal statistics involving the breakdown of the ordinary real statistics. The elegance of the model is that long range correlations reflecting intentionality reduce to p-adic continuity: very distant space-time points can be very close p-adically. This characterization allows to experimentally differentiate between intentionality and genuine randomness and determine the p-adic prime characterizing the intentional system without any model dependent assumptions. The astrophysical real size for the p-adically small space-time sheets representing intentions justifies the assumption about astrophysical sizes of the personal magnetic body and MEs meaning the most dramatic deviation between TGD based and standard view about living matter.

The TGD inspired view about time and brain is compared with the neuroscience based vision. The time delays related to passive and active aspects of consciousness discovered by Libet are shown to support the notion of magnetic body having astrophysical size. The general model for the intentional action allows to understand sensory perception, motor action, and memory as special cases of the mechanism for which the personal magnetic body is the intentional agent and motor action proceeds from long to short length and time scales. The intention represented by a p-adic ME is transformed to a negative energy ME representing the desire about the action and entangling the magnetic body with some lower level in the hierarchy. The cascade of intentions transformed to desires eventually reaches the material body and induces the desired action as a reaction in the geometric past communicated classically to the geometric future. Brain only reacts to the desires quantum communicated from the geometric future, which explains the coherence of motor action difficult to understand if brain genuinely plans and initiates the action. Also remote mental interactions are based on the same mechanism and precognition and long term memory as well as PK and retro PK can be seen as different aspects of the same phenomenon.

The model predicts four types of memories corresponding to cyclotron transitions of protons and electrons and Z0 cyclotron transitions of neutrons and neutrinos identifiable as long term sensory and motor memories (p,n) , short term sensory memories (e), and cognitive working memories (n). Some models for long term memories are discussed and only the so called time-mirror mechanism is found to be consistent with the identification of the magnetic body as experiencer. A precise realization of the time-mirror mechanism based on spin glass degeneracy is identified.
