  According to a particular interpretation of quantum mechanics, the causal
role of human consciousness in the measuring process is called upon to solve a
foundational problem called the "measurement problem". Traditionally, this
interpretation is tied up with the metaphysics of substance dualism. As such,
this interpretation of quantum mechanics inherits the dualist's mind-body
problem. Our working hypothesis is that a process-based approach to the
consciousness causes collapse interpretation (CCCI) -- leaning on Whitehead's
solution to the mind-body problem -- offers a better metaphysical understanding
of consciousness and its role in interpreting quantum mechanics. This article
is the kickoff for such a research program in the metaphysics of science.
