Search Results on Quantum Consciousness Are Mostly Pop-Science YouTube, Not Peer-Reviewed — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: Search results are predominantly pop-science YouTube content on quantum consciousness (Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR, microtubules); only one peer-reviewed item appears, and it is unrelated (CMB polarisation, BRAIN/CLOVER experiments at Dome-C). | MATH: No equations, constants, or ratios are extractable from the supplied titles/abstracts. The one arXiv item concerns B-mode angular power spectra (C_ℓ^BB), ~3 orders of magnitude below CMB temperature fluctuations (ΔT/T ~ 10⁻⁵), i.e. B-modes ~10⁻⁸ — a sensitivity/measurement problem, not a consciousness result. | CONNECTION: None supported. No 0.382/0.618/0.786/1.618/2.618 ratios, no base-60, no crystallographic/root-system/lattice data appear in the evidence. (Microtubule lattices are invoked in Orch-OR literature but no lattice parameters, coordination numbers, or symmetry groups are given here.) | DEPTH: 1 Notes on rigor: - The claim "Brain Really Uses Quantum Effects, New Study Finds" and "NEW EVIDENCE For Quantum Effects In The Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
