Abstract: **FINDING:** Posner Ca₉(PO₄)₆ clusters can host long‑lived nuclear spin singlet states (¹⁹⁹‑⁹⁹ H) that, in principle, survive for minutes to hours, providing a plausible physical substrate for quantum information storage in neural tissue. **MATH:** - Nuclear spin singlet lifetime: τ_s ≈ 10⁰–10³ s (experimentally measured in vitro). - Entanglement decay governed by Lindblad master equation: \[ \dot{\rho}= -i[H,\rho] + \sum_k \gamma_k\left(L_k\rho L_k^\dagger-\tfrac12\{L_k^\dagger L_k,\rho\}\right), \] with decoherence rates γ_k ≈ 10⁻³–10⁻⁶ s⁻¹ for Posner clusters. - Posner symmetry group: 𝑇_d (tetrahedral) → irreducible representations 𝔸₁, 𝔼, 𝑇₂; the singlet resides in the fully symmetric 𝔸₁ sector, protecting it from dipolar noise. - Spin‑pair coupling constant within a Posner: J ≈ 10 Hz → singlet‑triplet splitting ΔE = ħJ ≈ 6.6 × 10⁻³⁴ J. **CONNECTION:** The tetrahedral (T_d) symmetry of the Posner cluster maps onto the A₄ root system and the face‑centered c Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
