So where Ken Wilber sees our awareness of the tetra-emergent properties of the AQAL as the experience of synchronicity, which is happening all the time even without our awareness of it happening, and which he sees as being driven by the mechanism of Eros, I see the tetra-emergent properties of the AQAL (evolution) as itself a phenomena of quantum entanglement unfolding the implicit probabilities of the wave functions (potentialities of being) within and between the quadrants as the mechanism of such emergence. In other words, instead of a mythical Eros, I see the complexities of quantum entanglement in-forming the potentialities of being, in addition to the gradual accumulation of random mutation and environmental selection, as the mysterious source of the wonderful excess that is life-consciousness.

It doesn’t take me long to conclude that the line of thought he follows is going to be frustrated and finally end in a cul de sac. We might call his approach “the deficient integral” as opposed to “the efficient integral”. Wilber seems to me to get off track due to his model of logic — the AQAL model, for it isn’t truly integral and omits, by establishment and by its structure, a very large part of our reality and experience. Nonetheless, one can laud the sincere impulse towards integralism therein and appreciate some of the valid insights. No truly new consciousness structure, however, is ever born fully articulate, mature, and well-formed like Athena from the head of Zeus. It always struggles like any babbling newborn to become eloquent and to articulate itself. It often begins in weirdness and confusion, or in slang, slogans and graffiti.
