Deep link? The two fields both contain the notion of locality, big woop. The application of quantum nonlocal correlations to game theory is interesting, but this is not what is advertised in the article. I am displeased.

It looks like the "link" is "quantum-entangled systems can transfer information useful to game players"

I'm very interested in any theoretical connections between interactions of conscious beings and quantum physics. I've read a number of physicists discounting any such possibility, but it's clear to me nobody understands these things well enough to know.

Personally I think consciousness, perception, and free will are a great unknown, and likely involve the makeup of the cosmos including quantum interactions.

If anyone knows of any science in this area I would appreciate references.

Ignorance isn't a concatenation operator.

Presumably you mean not disproving quantum involvement in consciousness doesn't imply it's existence. That's far more than this snipey comment deserves in the way of response, but feel free to form a thought here.

But that's obvious.

The journalistic article isn't worth reading. I don't have access to the real paper, but it should be more interesting and informative.
