Consciousness going all the way up or getting progressively more complex and aware along with physical complexity would require causal involutionary participation from higher physical symmetries in which what we call "physical" acquires "mental" characteristics. This need to be explored for Integral Theory to grow beyond being a useful set of guidelines and start being useful for scientific prediction. There is inter-realm causality.
There are several indications that our physical universe is related to another realm existing in a higher symmetry. 1) The "adinkras" found by James Silvester Gates PhD embedded in fundamental physical formulas remind us of binary correction codes possible related to the fact that our physical universe is a production. http://bigthink.com/ideas/643
2) If the reciprocal space with negentropic characteristics allowed by relativistically invariant quantum mechanics were to cancel out with the ordinary macro entropic dominant physical space we normally experience then the physical universe might return to its higher symmetrical, original state in which quadratic exteriors operate under time zero and distance zero (timeless and spaceless from a physical perspective but nonetheless actual and real from their own perspective). According to Integral Theory the "quadrants" should remain." Nonetheless, if the distinction between exteriors and interiors singular and plural remain its "exteriors" would be distinct and equal to its "interiors". Therefore, the space-less time-less "mental space" would also work as a function of a "both-and" logical epistemology and this kind of logic in which opposites remain and also relate to the point of being indistinct is the logic used by many tribes and pre modern peopples who recognize (and reify) the importance of the Subtle (mental) Realm in everything they experience.
Physicists Sorli and Fiscaletti have also produced a hypothesis in which Einstein's understanding of Time is more like a programmed rate of change in space. This remains at the level of physical space but I thiknk that the possibility of information rates being programmed from a higher realm also open

I think that -in one way or another- some form of the general idea of a 'simulation' will be proven. I don't think it will be like a computer simulation but a much more serious and fundamental situation in which real living souls are involved in producing it and in experiencing it.
There may be other ways in which the origin of the 'simulation' could also be found as when split symmetries such as those existing between the realm of quantum detectable particles which can become probabilistic 'things' (delta E times delta T is greater than or = to h or Planck's Constant) and quantum undetectable virtual particles which may remain in the role of waves but have physical effects (when delta E times delta T is less than or = to h) cancel out and into a higher symmetry origin. In that higher symmetry, objective exteriors are defined from subjective interiors but are also equal in priority. Thus, it could be called a 'time zero' (duration zero) and 'space zero' (distance zero) realm instantly expressing mind or expressing itself as mind. Interiors and exteriors would be equally important.
Another way (related with William A. Tiller's theories and with attempts at creating scalar stress by canceling out EM wave components) could be by cancelling out positive and negative energy states and the split between ordinary time forward and reciprocal time backward physical spaces allowed by quantum mechanics especially in relation to relativity invariant equations.
Some of the "programming" of a lower symmetry physical universe out of a higher symmetry mental realm might have to do with what degrees of lower symmetry distinction partially embedded in the higher symmetry are allowed. How much quantum uncertainty is allowed between measurements or connections made from a macro entropic-dominant physical space experience and the inner negentropic (perhaps vibrational and time-dominant) intuited space may have more to do with it. Moreover, the relations among quantum potential fields (accompanying regular spacetime physically "real" fields) may be fixed from the higher symmetry realm.
This emerging physics relates well with a general neo platonist, involutionary approach that rescues some of the basics of esoteric wisdom but should be integrated into a more expanded forms of Integral Theory.
