![]() This is followed by a Gedanken experiment based on neuron anatomy which strongly indicates that electrical signals are transmitted through the cell as currents of quantum coherence driven by fluctuating charge concentrations. A concept of quantum coherence will be developed by briefly analyzing current knowledge of superposition, entanglement, conventional chemistry and classical physics as they relate to the idea of matter waves. This paper attempts to begin reconciling quantumlike features perceived on a macroscopic scale as the structure of our minds with the quantum/classical divide attributed to nature by much recent research in physics. We experience features of our minds as fluid, holistic and macroscopic, integrated synchrony which cannot be explained classically or solely in terms of atomic structure. Large-scale interference can be identified with the phenomenon of decoherence, but it will be shown how this is true only in a limited range of circumstances.Ĭonsciousness, even if we only consider its connection with physiological mechanisms of the brain, appears to defy this restriction of quantumlike phenomena such as near-instantaneity to the nanoscale. By contrast, classical behavior seemingly arises between objects macroscopic enough that massive quantities of interference, a hundred trillion or more wavicles haphazardly morphing at contact, suppress the ability of these emergent structures to act as a cohesive unit, resulting in localization parameters reminiscent of billiard balls on a pool table, with relationships and permutations subdued to the position and rate scale of conventional space and time. Tiny particles or “wavicles” bind as causally integrated energy fields and coordinate across relatively large distances so they are interacting faster than light let alone the most rapid Newtonian object-phenomena. A common sense explanation, but as we shall see not applicable to many cases, is that the essentially wavelike nature of matter at the quantum scale can proceed more undisturbed by interference, enabling this matter to interact at rates provisional of near-instantaneous synchrony and even retroactivity. Subatomic photons, electrons, nucleons, and relatively small atomic structures operate according to quantum principles, but as matter ascends upwards in size, quantum effects are dampened and objects behave classically, according to Newtonian principles of motion. Introduction: The Quantum/Classical Divide and Brain StructureĮarly 21st century physics has presumed a quantum/classical divide amongst matter. If examination of the brain reveals this organ to be composed of a coherence field, structured at least in part by broadened spectrums of EM radiation interacting with molecular components, this has major implications for furthering our model of the matter/mind interface and possibly physical reality in total.ġ. Research should investigate whether a consequent energy field is the basic perceptual substrate, with at least some additive electromagnetic wavelengths of this field involved in generating image percepts insofar as they arise from the body, and electromagnetic vibrations the signature of a more diverse phenomenon by which somewhat nondimensional features of perception such as sound, touch, taste, smell, interoceptive sensations, etc. ![]() A mechanism is proposed by which quantum coherence as accelerating electric currents in neurons may result in a broadened spectrum of electromagnetic radiation capable of interacting with molecular complexes in the brain and perhaps elsewhere in an organism to influence vibrational and structural properties. Recent research in a physiological context suggests that electromagnetic radiation interacts with molecular structure to comprise integrated energy fields. It is demonstrated that quantum coherence so defined can comprehensively explain signal transmission in neurons and dynamics of the brain’s emergent electric field, including potential support for the claim that conscious volition is to some degree real rather than an illusion. Various properties of atoms can be better explained if these particles are matter waves that embody a spectrum ranging from relatively coherent to decoherent states. Note the correlation between the surface tension of a liquid and the strength of the intermolecular forces: the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the surface tension.A general definition of quantum coherence is developed from analysis of superposition, entanglement, chemical bonding behavior, and basic phenomena of classical mechanics.
