The ether can fill space or define space {ether and mental space}. The ether can provide a substrate for sensations and observer.
Holography can make three-dimensional images in space from two-dimensional interference patterns illuminated by a coherent-light beam {holography and mental space}. Perhaps, association cortex stores two-dimensional interference patterns and makes beams. However, association cortex has no coherent beam to make interference patterns, and interference patterns and intensities, features, and objects have no relation. Brain does not send out signals.
Projectors illuminate film or otherwise decode stored representations to create two-dimensional or three-dimensional displays in media, such as screens or monitors. Perhaps, mind is projection, and brain is projector {projection and mental space}. However, mind must know sensations, not just display them. Projection starts with a geometric figure. Projection needs something on which to project. Projection has no opposites.
Physical interactions are local. Forces are particle exchanges. For example, masses exchange gravitons to affect each other. Force fields change space and so affect particle motions. Physical interactions do not allow action at distance, except for quantum-mechanical entanglement. Two particles that have interacted have a joint wavefunction, made of superposition of the two particle wavefunctions. Because particle waves are infinite, the joint wavefunction is infinite. The two particles have quantum-mechanical entanglement over all space. Consciousness has experiences at distant places, with no interceding events. Perhaps, consciousness entangles everything over all space {quantum mechanics entanglement and non-locality}.
non-locality
In quantum mechanics, observation at one location can appear to immediately affect another observation at a distant location. Though physical waves send information at finite speed, quantum-mechanical waves collapse everywhere at once. Perhaps, mind involves non-locality. Consciousness links separate space points, and sense system and sensation, and so is non-local.
However, brain processing does not use waves, entanglement does not include knowing, and any entanglement in brain collapses in less than a microsecond.
Perhaps, brain has potential barriers to outside world, but mind can tunnel through barriers to experience outside world {tunneling and mental space}.
