Orch OR Model
The Orch OR Model suggests that consciousness occurs on a very
fine scale in the neurons of the brain.
"Orch-OR
posits that consciousness is based on non-computable quantum
processing performed by qubits formed collectively
on the microtubules of the cells, a
process significantly amplified in the neurons. The qubits are based
on oscillating dipoles forming superimposed resonance rings in
helical pathways throughout microtubule lattices. The
oscillations are either electric, due to charge separation
from London Forces, or most
favorably magnetic, due to
electron
spin and
occur in gigahertz, megahertz and kilohertz frequency ranges. The orchestration refers to the
hypothetical process by which connective proteins, such as microtubule-associated protiens
(MAPs),
influence or orchestrate the state reduction of the qubits
by modifying the spacetime-separation of their superimposed
states."
So the "Orch" is the "orchestrated" collapse of the wave functions
(the oscillating dipoles) in the quantum mechanical states. The
"OR" is the "objective reduction" based on the "self-collapse" due
to gravitational space-time which Penrose posulates is due
to the microtubules interacticting which each other, forming
a quantum computer.
