Quantum consciousness in warm, wet, and noisy brain

Quantum consciousness may arise from dynamic flows of hydrogen ions in brain liquid, which contains extensive areas of the fourth phase of water with hexagonal molecular packing, called the exclusion zone (EZ). Hydrogen ion motion on these hexagonal lattices involves forward hopping of ions and backward hopping of holes (vacant places) via the Grotthuss mechanism. Supporting this motion with external infrasound sources could produce a superfluid state in EZ water. The hydrogen ion flows are described by a modified Navier-Stokes equation, which, combined with the continuity equation, yields the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This equation accounts for quantum effects such as long-distance tunneling and interference on gap junctions.

Abstract

The emergence of quantum consciousness stems from dynamic flows of hydrogen ions in brain liquid. This liquid contains vast areas of the fourth phase of water with hexagonal packing of its molecules, the so-called exclusion zone (EZ) of water. The hydrogen ion motion on such hexagonal lattices shows as the hopping of the ions forward and the holes (vacant places) backward, caused by the Grotthuss mechanism. By supporting this motion using external infrasound sources, one may achieve the appearance of the superfluid state of the EZ water. Flows of the hydrogen ions are described by the modified Navier-Stokes equation. It, along with the continuity equation, yields the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, which describes the quantum effects of these flows, such as the tunneling at long distances or the interference on gap junctions.
