Orchestrated Object Reduction (Orch OR) #

Subjective reduction is when an ‘observer’ sends magical perception rays toward a particle to cause wave functinon collapse. Objective reaction postulates that wave function collapse is consciousness.
Consciousness originates via objective reduction (wave function collapse), which is a quantum process inside neurons orchestrated by Microtubules.
A critique is that Gap Junctions between neurons and glia don’t exist in the adult brain? R

Cytoskeletal Signaling: Is Memory Encoded in Microtubule Lattices by CaMKII Phosphorylation?
CAMKII kinase domains can either be active, or not - these 6 per side (lattice?) represents a byte. He goes and calls these 6 bits a “byte” - this is just notation though and was used in old computing systems.
Each tubulin is a qubit. The states are regulated by van der waals force dipoles in hydrophobic pockets. Wherein there are resonance structures (e.g. benzene). They oscillate at 8 MHz, for some reason.
- This is related to Fröhlich coherence: dipole oscillations of pi resonance regions in geometrical lattices (of course microtubules are suitable) in living cells driven by ambient biological temperatures.
- In Tubulin, there are 86 aromatic rings to be observed: 8 Trp, 36 Tyr, 42 Phe.
Anesthetic property correlates with van der Waals binding in a nonpolar medium:

- In The Emperor’s New Mind, Penrose argued that while a formal proof system cannot prove its own consistency, Gödel-unprovable results are provable by human mathematicians. We are therefore not formal proof systems and are therefore running non-computable algorithms.
- The inescapable conclusion seems to be: Mathematicians are not using a knowably sound calculation procedure in order to ascertain mathematical truth. We deduce that mathematical understanding – the means whereby mathematicians arrive at their conclusions with respect to mathematical truth – cannot be reduced to blind calculation.
- The choice of states when OR occurs are selected neither randomly (as are choices following wave function collapse) nor algorithmically. Rather, states are selected by a “non-computable” influence embedded in the Planck scale of spacetime geometry. Penrose claimed that such information is Platonic, representing pure mathematical truth, aesthetic and ethical values at the Planck scale. This relates to Penrose’s ideas concerning the three worlds: physical, mental, and the Platonic mathematical world. In his theory, the Platonic world corresponds to the geometry of fundamental spacetime that is claimed to support noncomputational thinking
