justify the capability of a Keval Jnani in Jainism who can perceive past, present and future in once? it is supersensuous state.
Non local memory: Fantappiè suggests the existence of non-local correlations in the universe, as a consequence of advancing waves. For example, in living systems, memory could be a manifestation of non local links with past events which according to Klein-Gordon's equation are still existing. (Also see Wolman, B. B. (1977))
David Bohm: implicate and explicate order
Bohm introduced the concepts of implicate and explicate orders. In the implicate order there is no difference between mind and matter, while in the explicate order mind and matter are separated. When we deal with quantum mechanics the implicate order prevails, but when we deal with classical physics, that is the macroscopic laws, the explicate order prevails. According to Bohm, consciousness coincides with the implicate order. In the implicate order particles take form, through collapse of the wave function, and the implicate order coincides. Therefore with the process of in-formation, taking form. According to Bohm each material particle contains a rudimental form of consciousness. The process of information constitutes a bridge between mental and material properties of particles. At the smallest level of matter i.e. the quantum mechanical level, the mental (conscious){mental is not consciousness as defined by Jainism}and physical processes would coincide. (This model is discussed in the appendix 5)

Evan Walker's Synaptic tunneling model
Evan Walker (1970),argued that electrons can be turned between adjacent neurons, thereby creating a virtual neural network which can actually overlap the real neural network. It is this virtual nervous system that can produce consciousness (According to Jainism consciousness is not created by nervous system.)which can govern the behavior of the real nervous system. The real nervous system operates through synaptic messages whereas the virtual one operates by means of quantum effects of tunneling of electrons (similar to Josephson junction in superconductors) through barriers which are otherwise forbidden by classical physics. So it was argued that although the brain works on the basis of classical physics but consciousness works on the principle of quantum physics.
