That seems more plausible than messing with quantum mechanics. The problem with the attempts to change the quantum theory is that it makes everything worst if we want to keep it as a good approximation. Sternberg (and plaza in this list) have shown rather convincingly that a slight “delinearisation” of QM makes the many universes even more real, as they not only can interfere, but also can interact (making both GR false, but also violating the laws of thelmrmodynamic. I doubt that we can change the quantum base of physics, and indeed, it becomes a necessity when we assume mechanism, meaning that we would need a non-mechanist theory of mind, also.
