The hidden variable of consciousness experiment

Scientific Process: 1. Ask a question. Does the Biopsychosocial (BPS) Model adequately capture all variables that contribute to consciousness? 2. Background research. The current scientific literature is awash with evidence that supports the theories that Biology, Psychology, and Sociology contribute to consciousness. These areas of study are all included in the BPS Model. My assessment for any scientific literature examining the possible existence of factors outside the BPS Model that contribute to the emergence of consciousness are very limited. All of them have been sensibly dismissed for various breaches in the scientific methodology. 3. Hypothesis. There exist a variable which contributes to consciousness that the current BPS Model does not include. 4. Test with experiment. This experiment will consist of no less than thirty test subjects. All three areas of the BPS Model will be controlled and exactly duplicated. Every test subject will have exactly the same; DNA, nutrition, social/physical interaction and stimulation, environment, etc. The test administered will seek differential anomalies among test subjects and could include the following tests and/or observations; behavioral, intelligence/adaptation, neuroscience, inspection of urine/fecal matter and blood, etc. Any deviations from this protocol or observations of divergence among the test subjects will be recorded and documented so that they can be accessed for distortion of the results. 5. Analyze data and draw conclusion. Possible outcomes and conclusions: a) The test subjects exhibit statistical and practically significant differences that are consistent and measurable on anytests. There exists a variable which contributes to consciousness that the current BPS Model does not account for. b) The test subjects exhibit no statistical or practically significant differences that are consistent and measurable on all tests. The BPS Model completely includes all variables that contribute to consciousness.

Outside of quoting myself :D Do you like it, love it, thoughts?
