The computer model of mind is similar to the pre-computer model of afferent-efferent nerves plus memory. We still don't know how the will can cause an efferent nerve to fire. Or at least I don't know. The radio model rather than the computer model seems to apply to the thesis of this article.

"We still don't know how the will can cause an efferent nerve to fire."

How about, the intensification of desire (a focal point of consciousness existing outside of quantum) causes mini-orgasms (in a manner of speaking) for the production and release of radio signals. Signals which have their origin outside of the quantum, but can penetrate the membrane and excite the potential -- like sperm penetrating the egg.

Concerning the activity of intense desire, it could be in the same realm or comparable to the mechanics of having a wet-dream and experiencing mental orgasm (release) but the physical body was in no way effected, responsive, or involved. (But you reach for a cigarette anyway. Heh.)

I hope I'm understanding your reference to radio here. I'm not familiar with it.
