Quantum Coherence in Microtubules: Orch-OR Theory and Memory Formation — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: Orch-OR theory posits quantum coherence in microtubules, with collapse linked to objective reduction (OR) governed by gravitational self-energy, not consciousness. New evidence claims memory formation involves quantum effects, but no equations or constants are provided in the search results. | MATH: No specific equations, constants, or ratios extracted from the provided summaries. The underlying theory (Penrose) uses \( E = \hbar / \tau \) for collapse time, where \( E \) is gravitational self-energy difference, but this is not confirmed in the findings. | CONNECTION: No geometric harmony ratios (0.382, 0.618, etc.) or crystallographic symmetries appear in the search results. Microtubule geometry (tubulin dimers, 13-fold symmetry) is implied but not quantified. | DEPTH: 2 — The search results are popular summaries, not primary mathematical derivations. No new equations or constants are presented. The link to geometric structure is absent. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
