Editor's note:
Dr. Frederico Faggin is one of the heavyweight scientist-inventors of the 20th century. In 1971 he developed the first silicon chip, the microprocessor at the heart of all electronic devices today. He also produced the new touch-sceen technology.
Currently, he is writing, lecturing, and advocating what he feels to be an even more fundamental revolution in science - that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all reality.

Irreducible, pg. 141-142:
Consciousness defines the inner world of our experience … different from the physical world of [electrical brain] signals…
… our inner reality is not physical in the same sense that the internal organs of our body are… Our inner reality defines the semantic aspect of reality, i.e., what gives meaning and purpose to our life… [this] does not exist in the same spacetime as physical reality.

Editor's last word:
Also see youtube interviews of Dr. Faggin, for example, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Q_W6H_nZk
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5REKKkKZpY
wherein Dr. Faggin makes comments, such as, "The structure of matter is isomorphic [“equal form”] to the cognitive structure of consciousness, which can reflect itself [in matter]"; our "bodies reflect the accumulated learning of consciousness; matter is the ink with which consciousness writes its own self-knowing."
