Coherence
- Resonance among the 10^18 tubulin electrons is important
in achieving and maintaining coherent superposition states among them,
and
- resonance of the collective coherent set of 10^18 tubulin
electrons with other entities, whether in the same World of the Many-Worlds or
in other Worlds, is important in PSI
phenomena.
As discussed in my paper for
Quantum Mind 2003, Raymond
Chiao's proposed gravity antenna experiments might give experimental
support for gravity-resonance among the tubulin
electrons.
Resonance is discussed by Carver Mead in his
book Collective Electrodynamics (MIT 2000):
"... In our investigation of radiative coupling, we use a
superconducting resonator as a model system. ... we can build such a
resonator from a superconducting loop and a capacitor ... the coupling
of ... two loops is the same, whether retarded or advanced potentials
are used. Any loop couples to any other on its light cone, whether past
or future. ... The total phase accumulation in a loop is the sum of
that due to its own current, and that due to currents in other loops
far away. ... normal modes correspond to stationary states of the
system. Once the system is oscillating in one of these modes, it will
continue to do so forever. To understand energy transfer between the
resonators, we can use mixtures of normal modes. ... Any energy
leaving one resonator is tranferred to some other resonator, somewhere
in the universe. The energy in a single resonator alternates
between the kinetic energy of the electrons (inductance), and the
potential energy of the electrons (capacitance). With the two
resonators coupled, the energy shifts back and forth between the two
resonators in such a way that the total energy is constant ... The
conservation of energy holds despite an arbitraty separation between
the resonators; it is a direct result of the symmetry of the advanced
and retarded potentials. There is no energy "in transit" between them.
... the universe contains a truly enormous number of resonators ...
[ For the 10^18 tubulin electrons of the human brain,
the resonant frequencies are the same and exchanges of energy among
them act to keep them locked in a collective coherent state. ]
... How does a single resonator behave in an inhomogeneous
universe full of other matter? In the real universe [outside the
collective coherent set of tubulin electrons], no two
resonators have identical resonant frequencies for long; however, it is
a common occurrence that two frequencies will cross, and that energy
will be exchanged between the resonators during the crossing. From
the point of view of collective electrodynamics, this exchange of
energy is the microscopic origin of the thermodynamic behavior of the
universe as we observe it. ... In a random universe, any particular
phase is equally likely for any given crossing. A particular resonator
is therefore equally likely to receive either an increment or a
decrement due to a given crossing. ... In a random universe [unlike
the collective coherent set of tubulin electrons], there is no
first-order effect in which energy flows from the high-amplitude
resonator to the low-amplitude resonator; there is, however, a
second-order effect in which energy flows, on the average, from the
high-amplitude resonator to the low-amplitude resonator. The rate of
energy flow is proportional to the difference in energies, and to the
inverse square of the distance. ...
... The coupling between two loops considered ...[above]... is
called magnetic dipole coupling. It is characterized by its
proportionality to the second derivative of the current with respect to
time. ... A much stronger coupling can be obtained between two straight
sections of wire ... We can imagine a resonator configuration for which
this type of coupling is realizable: Two parallel capacitor plates [
corresponding to the two holes in a tubulin
where the tubulin electron can be stable located ] of capacitance
C are connected by a straight section of superconducting wire of
inductance L between their centers. Such a configuration ... is called
an electric dipole. Because there are charges at the two ends of the
dipole, we can have a contribution to the electric coupling from the
scalar potential ... as well [as] from the magnetic coupling ... from
the vector potential ... electric dipole coupling is stronger than
magnetic dipole coupling by the square of the ratio of the wavelenght
to the size of the element. ... For example, an atom half a nanometer
in diameter radiates visible light of 500 nanometer wavelength. In this
case, electric dipole coupling is a million times stronger than
magnetic dipole coupling. ...
... we have treated the electron as a wave, continuous in space,
carrying a continuous charge density with it. ... Arriving at the
correct results required taking into account the interaction of the
electron [ considered as a Compton Radius
Vortex ] with itself, exactly as we have done in the case of the
superconducting loop. The electron wave function depends on the
potential [ electromagnetic and Bohm Quantum
]; the potential [ electromagnetic and Bohm
Quantum with back-reaction ]
depends of the charge density that is determined by the wave function.
Thus, we have an inherently non-linear problem ... The nonlinearity ...
poses some computational issues, but no conceptual issues. ... the
nonlinear theory gives the correct energy levels for the hydrogen atom
... It is by now a common experimental fact that an atom, if
sufficiently isolated from the rest of the universe, can stay in an
excited state for an arbitrarily long period. ... The mechanism for
initiating an atomic transition is not present in the isolated atom; it
is the direct result of coupling with the rest of the universe. [
Compare the Quantum Zeno Effect.
] ...
... The electron wave function ... is particularly sensitive to
coupling with other electrons; it is coupled either to far-away matter
in the universe or to other electrons in a resonant cavity or other
local structure.
In the initial parts of this monograph, we were able to ignore
coupling to far-away matter because we used a collective structure in
which there are 10^23 electrons, arranged in such a way that the
collective properties intrinsic to the structure scaled as the square
of the number of electrons. ... we ...[made]... a connection between
the classical concept of force and the quantum nature of matter through
the concept of momentum. ... We would expect the total momentum P of
the collective electron system [ in a superconducting loop of wire ] to
be the momentum per charge times the number of charges in the loop. If
there are n charges per unit length of wire ... P = n q L I ... I = n q
v ... and ... P = L (nq)^2 v . The momentum is proportional to the
velocity, as it should be. It is also proportional to the size of the
loop, as reflected by the inductance L. ... Instead of scaling linearly
with the number of charges that take part in the motion, the momentum
of a collective system scales as the square of the number of
charges! ...
[ The corresponding part of the human brain
collective coherent system of tubulin electrons is the system of virtual graviphotons
connecting pairs of tubulin electrons. ]
... In an arrangement where charges are constrained to move in
concert, each charge produces phase accumulation, not only for itself
but for all the other charges as well. So the inertia of each charge
increases linearly with the number of charges moving in concert. The
inertia of the ensemble of coupled charges must therefore increase as
the square of the number of charges. ...an N-turn closely coupled coil
has an inductance L = N^2 Lo. Once again, we see the collective
interaction scaling as the square of the number of interacting charges.
... When two classical massive bodies ... are bolted together, the
inertia of the resuting composite body is simply the sum of the two
individual inertias. The inertia of a collective system, however, is a
manifestation of the interaction, and cannot be assigned to the
elements separately. ... Thus, it is clear that collective quantum
systems do not have a classical correspondence limit. ... It is
instructive to work out the magnitude of the electron inertia in a
concrete case. A small superconducting magnet has 10^4 turns of NbTi
wire approximately 0.1 mm in diameter. The magent is 7 cm long, and
just under 5 cm in diameter, and produces a peak field of 7 tesla at a
currrent of 40 amperes. The magnet weighs 0.5 kilograms, and has a
measured inductance of approximately 0.5 henry. There are of the order
of 10^28 electrons per cubic meter in the wire, or 10^20 electrons per
meter length of wire, corresponding to approximately 10 coulombs of
electronic charge per meter of wire. At 40 amperes, these electrons
move at a velcoity v = 4 m / sec. the total length l of wire is about
10^3 meters, so the total electronic charge in the magnet is about 10^4
coulombs. Using these values, A = PHI / l = L I / l = 0.02 V sec /
meter. The electromagnetic momentum p of an electron is just this
vector potential multiplied by the electronic charge; from this, we can
infer an electromagnetic mass m for each electron:
q A = 3.2 x 10^(-21) coulomb V sec / meter = m v
m = 10^(-21) kg
For comparison, the mass of a free electron is approximately
10^(-30) kg, and the rest mass of a proton is a factor 1800 larger than
that of an electron. The electromagnetic mass of an electron in our
magnet is thus a factor of 10^9 larger than the rest mass of a free
electron. ...[ The electromagnetic mass of all the electrons in the
magnet is
10^20 electrons / meter x 10^3 meters x 10^(-21) kg /
electron = 100 kg
]... The total inertia of the electron system in the magnet is
much larger than the actual mass of all the atoms making up the magnet
[ 0.5 kg ]. ...
[ The above material from Carver Mead is directly
applicable to the superposition state of tubulin electrons and is
related to the idea of a Quantum
Protectorate. The following material shows how the same
viewpoint applies to understanding quantum state transitions.
]
... We have developed a detailed description of the
energy-transfer process between macroscopic quantum resonators ... We
are now in a position to understand the radiative transfer between two
identical atomic systems. ... The two atoms act like two small dipole
resonators, and energy is radiatively transferred ... Once the coupled
mixed state starts to develop, it becomes self-reinforcing. ... This
self-reinforcing behavior gives the transition its initial exponential
character. Once the transition is fully under way, the two states are
nearly equally represented in the superposition, and the coupled system
closely resembles the coupled resonators ... Once the transition has
run its course, each atom settles into its final eigenstate. ...
... there are quantum jumps, but they are not discontinuities.
They may look discontinuous because of the nonlinear, self-reinforcing
nature of a quantum transition; but at the fundamental level,
everything can be followed in a smooth and continuous way .... to
arrive at this picture, we had to give up the one-way direction of
time, and allow coupling to everything on the light cone ... the
Green's function for collective systems is totally free of
singularities, and cannot, by its very nature, generate infinities ...
There is no action of an elementary charge [ which is fundamentally an
amplitude to transmit or absorb energy by radiative transfer ] upon
itself ...".
In gr-qc/0303089,
Walter
J. Fitelson and Raymond
Chiao say:
"... Measurements of the tunneling time are briefly
reviewed. ... using ... a photon-pair emission light source ... The
arrival time of the tunneled photon was measured with respect to that
of its twin, which had traversed a distance equal to the tunnel barrier
thickness, but in the vacuum, by means of the difference in the two
"click" times of two Geiger counters. ... when a photon succeeded in
tunneling (which is rare), it arrived earlier than its twin which had
traversed the vacuum ... as if the tunneling photons had traversed the
tunnel barrier superluminally. The effective group velocity of the
tunneling single-photon wavepacket was measured to be 1.7 +/- 0.2 times
the vacuum speed of light. ...
... Next, time and matter in general relativity and quantum
mechanics is examined. In particular, the question arises: How does
gravitational radiation interact with a coherent quantum many-body
system (a "quantum fluid")? ...
... the ground state of a superconductor, which possesses
spontaneous symmetry breaking, and therefore off-diagonal long-range
order, is very similar to that of the physical vacuum, which is
believed also to possess spontanous symmetry breaking through the Higgs
mechanism. In this sense, therefore, the vacuum is "superconducting."
The question thus arises: How does such a broken-symmetry ground, or
"vacuum," state interact with a dynamically changing spacetime, such as
that associated with a GR wave? More generally: How do we embed quantum
fields in dynamically curved spacetimes? ... Due to its gyroscopic
nature, the spin vector of an electron undergoes parallel transport
during the passage of a GR wave. The spin of the electron is
constrained to lie inside the space-like submanifold of curved
spacetime. ... the spin of the electron must be purely a space-like
vector with no time-like component. This imposes an important
constraint on the motion of the electron's spin, such that whenever the
space-like submanifold of spacetime is disturbed by the passage of a
gravitational wave, the spin must remain at all times perpendicular to
the local time axis. If the spin vector is constrained to follow a
conical trajectory during the passage of the gravitational wave, the
electron picks up a Berry phase proportional to the solid angle
subtended by this conical trajectory after one period of the GR wave.
In a manner similar to the persistent currents induced by the Berry
phase in systems with off-diagonal long-range order. ... such a Berry
phase induces an electrical current in the quantum Hall fluid, which is
in a macroscopically coherent ground state. ... This current generates
an EM wave. Thus a GR wave can
be converted into an EM wave. By reciprocity, the time-reversed process
of the conversion from an EM wave to a GR wave must also be possible.
... The question immediately arises: EM radiation is fundamentally a
spin 1(photon) field, but GR radiation is fundamentally a spin 2
(graviton) field. How is it possible to convert one kind of radiation
into the other, and not violate the conservation of angular momentum?
The answer: The EM wave converts to the GR wave through a medium. Here
specifically, the medium of conversion consists of a strong DC magnetic
field applied to a system of electrons. This system possesses an axis
of symmetry pointing along the magnetic field direction, and therefore
transforms like a spin 1 object. When coupled to a spin 1 (circularly
polarized) EM radiation field, the total system can in principle
produce a spin 2 (circularly polarized) GR radiation field, by the
addition of angular momentum. ... In the case of superconductors,
Cooper pairs of electrons possess a macroscopic phase coherence, which
can lead to an Aharonov-Bohm-type interference absent in the ionic
lattice. Similarly, in the quantum Hall fluid, the electrons will also
possess macroscopic phase coherence, ... which can lead to
Berry-phase-type interference absent in the lattice. Furthermore, there
exist ferromagnetic superfluids with intrinsic spin, ... in which an
ionic lattice is completely absent,such in superfluid helium 3. In such
ferromagnetic quantum fluids, there exists no ionic lattice ... Thus
there may be more than one kind of quantum fluid which can serve as a
transducer between EM and GR waves. ... However, it remains an open
question as to how strong this interconversion process is between EM
and GR radiation. ...
... There exist other situations in which a minimal-coupling rule
similar to the one above, arises for scalar quantum fields in curved
spacetime. ... Quantum mechanically, there may exist due to the
macroscopic quantum phase coherence of the superconductor, collective,
many-body enhancements of the above classical conversion efficiency.
Most importantly, ...[see Speliotopoulos and Chiao, gr-qc/0302045 ]...
there must exist enhancements due to the fact that the intensive
coupling constant sqrt(G) of the Feynman graviton-matter vertex should
be replaced by the extensive coupling constant sqrt(G) L, in order to
account correctly for the tidal nature of GR waves. ...[L is]... a new
characteristic length scale L corresponding to the typical size of the
distance ... separating the test particle from the observer ... For
example, L can be the typical size of the detection apparatus ... or of
the transverse Gaussian wave packet size of the gravitational radiation
...
... How then do we account for the lack of any observable quantum
transducer conversion in our experiment? There are several possible
reasons, the most important ones probably having to do with the
material properties of the YBCO medium. One such possible reason is the
earlier observations of unexplained residual microwave and far-infrared
losses (of the order of 10^(-5) ohms per square at 10 GHz) in YBCO and
other high Tc superconductors,which are independent of temperature and
have a frequency-squared dependence, ... which may be due to the fact
that YBCO is a D-wave superconductor. ... In D-wave superconductors,
there exists a four-fold symmetry of nodal lines along which the BCS
gap vanishes, ... where the microwave attenuation may become large.
Thus D-wave superconductors are quite unlike the classic,
low-temperature S-wave superconductors with respect to their microwave
losses. Since one of conditions for a good coupling of a quantum
antenna and transducer to the GR wave sector is extremely low
dissipative losses, the choice of YBCO as the material medium for the
Hertz-type experiment may not have been a good one. ..". [see gr-qc/0304026 ]
In an article entitled On Emerging Coherence, Science 298
(20 Dec 2002) 2336-2337), Arthur T. Winfree says :
"... oscillating systems tend to "mutually entrain"
... The first tractable mathematical model of emerging coherence was
developed in 1966 ... In this severely simplified model, the unit
oscillator progresses along a fixed cycle of successive states that
eventually lead back to a prior state. ... In Josephson junctions
driven by a constant current, the phase shift of a quantum wave
function changes progressively, eventually completing a cycle. ... the
oscillators can be coupled together by weak interactions ... it was
found that such oscillators not only can attract one another in phase
but can also mutually repel ... They only mutually entrain when the
intensity of mutual coupling is sufficient compared with the range of
their individual native frequencies. Below a threshold, anarchy
prevails; above it, there is a collective rhythm as some oscillators
lock together. ... It was shown that aggregates of beating heart
cells couple electrically to beat as one and that in multinucleate
"slime molds" all nuclei divide at once as a result of chemical
diffusion among them. ... Fireflies signal one another to flash
together ... Wiesenfeld ... Colet ... Strogatz, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76,
404 (1996) ... predicted the same sort of threshold effect and
sigmoidal rise of collective amplitude for Josephson junctions ...".
In their paper cond-mat/0104546,
Callaway,
Hopcroft, Kleinberg, Newman, and Strogatz say:
"... We analyze a minimal model of a growing network. At
each time step, a new vertex is added; then, with probability d, two
vertices are chosen uniformly at random and joined by an undirected
edge. This process is repeated for t time steps. In the limit of large
t, the resulting graph displays surprisingly rich characteristics.
In particular, a giant component emerges in an
infinite&endash;order phase transition at d = 1/8. At the
transition, the average component size jumps discontinuously but
remains finite.
In contrast, a static random graph with the same degree
distribution exhibits a second&endash;order phase transition at d =
1/4, and the average component size diverges there.
These dramatic differences between grown and static random graphs
stem from a positive correlation between the degrees of connected
vertices in the grown graph&emdash;older vertices tend to have
higher degree, and to link with other high&endash;degree vertices,
merely by virtue of their age. We conclude that grown graphs, however
randomly they are constructed, are fundamentally different from their
static random graph counterparts ...".
Resonance and PSI
Suppose that Alice has a superposition configuration
of 10^17 tubulin-caged-electrons in her head.
Gravity is a very weak force, but try to use it to get a link
between Alice and Bob.
Consider Alice's configuration to be a multipole gravitational
antenna.
Although Gravity is very weak, a 10^17-pole can a very selective
multipole antenna.
As Jack Sarfatti points out, "... Does the selectivity
scale as the coherence factor N^2 in N = 10^x. That is N little Feynman
amplitudes adding up coherently? That would be for a phased-array
picture in ordinary space. Like N atoms emitting photons in
super-radiance. If we have N q-bits, then we have [ 2^N = 2^10^17 ]
possible strings all adding together coherently in configuration space.
...".
See The Electrical Engineering Handbook (Dorf ed., CRC Press1993),
Section IV Electromagnetics, 36 Antennas, 36.1 Wire, Arrays of
Identical Elements, page 866).
Now suppose that Bob tries (and succeeds - here I won't say how)
duplicating in his brain the Alice configuration of 10^17
tubulin-caged electrons.
Note that (10^17)^2 = 10^34 and that Gravitational G is of
the order of 10^(-39) in terms of the proton mass and 10^(-45) in terms
of the electron mass. Could Resonance enhance the connection between
Alice and Bob by a factor of the order of roughly 10^11, so that
Resonance between the 10^17-pole
Gravity Antennas in the heads of Alice and Bob could overcome the
weakness of Gravity ?
Two relevant sets of experiments are:
According a
1997 Science Within Consciousness web article by Henry Swift:
"... The experiment conducted by neurophysiologist Grinberg-Zylberbaum ...
The Einstein- Podolsky-Rosen Paradox in the Brain; The Transferred
Potential, Physics Essays 7,(4), 1994. ... demonstrate[s] the
existence of a macroscopic quantum system in the human brain through
the demonstration of ... non-local correlation between brains ...
In this experiment two subjects ... meditated together for twenty
minutes. A total of seven pairs of subjects of both sexes, with ages
from 20-44 years participated in the study. After meditation and while
maintaining their "direct communication" (without speech), they were
placed in semi-silent, electro-magnetically shielded chambers separated
by 45 feet. ... Both subjects were connected to EEG instruments and 100
random flashes of light were presented to subject A, while both
remained reclined with semi-closed eyes. Subject B was not told when
the light was flashed for subject A, and control correlation checks
were also made at random times with no light flashes. The results
indicated that, "after a meditative interaction between two people who
were instructed to maintain direct communication (i.e. to feel each
other's presence even at a distance), in about one out of four cases
when one of the subjects was stimulated in such a way that his/her
brain responded clearly (with a distinct evoked potential), the brain
of the nonstimulated subject also reacted and showed a transferred
potential of a similar morphology....
... The striking similarity of the transferred and evoked
potentials and the total absence of transferred potentials in the
control experiments leave no room for doubt about the existence of an
unusual phenomenon, namely, propagation of influence without local
signals. ... It is also extremely significant that the occurrence of
transferred potential is always associated with the participants'
feeling that their interaction is successfully completed (in contrast
to the lack of transferred potential, when there is no such feeling).
The interaction that correlates the subjects under study is entirely an
interaction via non-local consciousness. ... none of the subjects B
ever reported realizing any type of conscious experience related to
theappearance of the transferred potential ...".
According to a
1996 DynaPsych article by Ervin Laszlo:
"... A particularly poignant example was furnished by a
young couple, deeply in love. Their EEG patterns remained closely
synchronized throughout the experiment, testifying to their report of
feeling a deep oneness. ... In a limited way, Grinberg-Zylberbaum could
also replicate his results. When a subject exhibited the transferred
potentials in one experiment, he or she usually exhibited them in
subsequent experiments as well. ...".
What has Grinberg-Zylberbaum done since 1994? That is unknown.
According to an
article
by Sam Quinones, in the July/August 1997 New Age Journal, as
shown on a Sustained Action web page:
"... In 1977 Grinberg returned to Mexico City ... A deeply
spiritual man, Grinberg had moved from houses where he felt bad energy,
believed he once had flown, and kept a meditation room lined with books
and pictures of gurus. A semi-observant Jew, he sought out great
thinkers on the Kabbalah. ... at UNAM ... he ... met the person who, he
wrote later, would influence him more than any other: Barbara Guerrero,
a former cabaret singer and lottery ticket seller who had fought with
Pancho Villa as a young girl. Doña Pachita, as Guerrero was
known, was a curandera. ... Pachita could go into a trance state during
which the spirit of Cuauhtémoc, the nephew of the great Aztec
ruler Moctezuma, occupied her consciousness. ... Grinberg ... believed
that experience and perception were created as a result of this
interaction, and that the curative powers of shamans and *curanderas* like Pachita
came from their ability to gain access to the informational matrix and
change it, thereby affecting reality. ...
... Grinberg designed an experiment . . . using two people instead
of one. Both subjects, with electrodes attached to their skulls, were
put in a dark room and told to try to achieve a sort of meditative
union. After twenty minutes, one was sent to a separate room. The
remaining person was stimulated with a series of light flashes or
sounds while his or her brain waves were measured. The brain waves of
the isolated person were also measured. In 1987 Grinberg recorded for
the first time a simultaneous reaction to the stimuli on the part of
the isolated, non-stimulated person, a phenomenon he called
'transferred potential.' Over the years, with increasingly
sophisticated equipment, he documented transferred potential 25
percent of the time, he wrote. It was a remarkable finding, totally
contrary to the tenets of mainstream science. Grinberg believed it
supported his theory of a neuronal field connecting all human minds. ...
... In 1991, Grinberg, his wife, and Tony Karam visited Castaneda
at the latter's invitation in Los Angeles. There, Karam says, Castaneda
proposed that Grinberg leave his UNAM lab to live in his community.
Grinberg declined. Their relationship disintegrated during a trip
Castaneda took to Mexico City two years later. Grinberg's friends and
family remember him frequently calling Castaneda an egomaniac, more
interested in power than truth. They also recall that Tere [Grinberg's
wife] remained enamored with Castaneda and his group. ...
... For Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum, 1994 was a pretty good year.
... At his laboratory in the psychology department of the National
Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City, he recorded the
brain waves of a shaman, Don Rodolfo from Veracruz, in a trance state.
... Grinberg's book on his seminal influence, Barbara Guerrero, the
blind witch doctor known as Dona Pachita, was finally about to be
published in English. ... Then in December, Grinberg missed some
appointments with students. Two days before his long-awaited trip to
Nepal on December 14, he failed to attend his own birthday party. ...
When Grinberg did not return from Nepal as planned, still no one
thought much of it. ... But the weeks became months. Calls were made
... Nothing. No record of Grinberg or his wife ... Tere ... even
leaving Mexico. ... In the two-and-a-half years since he
disappeared, no trace of him, dead or alive, has been found. All that
remain are his books, his theories ... The theory for which
Grinberg came to be known reflected his personality. Relying on physics
and his experiences with witch doctors, or *curanderos*--a bit of
Einstein, a bit of Dona Pachita--its essential message was warm and
hopeful: All humankind is interconnected. ...".
According to the Princeton
Engineering
Anomalies Research web site:"... The Princeton
Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program was established at
Princeton University in 1979 by Robert G. Jahn, then Dean of the
School of Engineering and Applied Science, to pursue rigorous
scientific study of the interaction of human consciousness with
sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes common to
contemporary engineering practice. ...
... Over the laboratory's 20-year history, thousands of such
experiments, involving many millions of trials, have been performed
by several hundred operators. The observed effects are usually quite
small, of the order of a few parts in ten thousand on average, but
they are statistically repeatable and compound to highly significant
deviations from chance expectations. These results are summarized in
"Correlations
of
Random Binary Sequences with Pre-Stated Operator Intention: A
Review of a 12-Year Program." ...
...[ The following image is from
"Correlations
of Random Binary Sequences with Pre-Stated Operator Intention: A
Review of a 12-Year Program."
]...
... A number of secondary correlations reveal structural features
within these human/machine databases. In many instances, the effects
appear to be operator-specific in their details and the results of
given operators on widely different machines frequently tend to be
similar in character and scale. Pairs of operators with shared
intentions are found to induce further anomalies in the experimental
outputs, especially when the two individuals share an emotional bond.
The data also display significant disparities between female and male
operator performances, and consistent series position effects are
observed in individual and collective results. These anomalies can be
demonstrated with the operators located up to thousands of miles from
the laboratory, exerting their efforts hours before or after the
actual operation of the devices. ... These random devices also
respond to group activities of larger numbers of people, even when
they are unaware of the machine's presence. "FieldREG"
data produced in environments fostering relatively intense or
profound subjective resonance show larger deviations than those
generated in more pragmatic assemblies. ... Venues that appear to be
particularly conducive to such field anomalies include small intimate
groups, group rituals, sacred sites, musical and theatrical
performances, and charismatic events. In contrast, data generated
during academic conferences or business meetings show no deviations
from chance. ...
.. One ... Theoretical Model ... has been proposed and developed
under the major premise that the basic processes by which
consciousness exchanges information with its environment, orders that
information, and interprets it, also enable it to bias probabilistic
systems and thereby to avail itself of some control over its reality.
This model regards the concepts that underlie all physical models of
reality, particularly those of observational quantum mechanics such
as the principles of uncertainty, complementarity, and wave
mechanical resonance, as
fundamental characteristics of consciousness rather than as intrinsic
features of an objective physical environment. In this view, the
"anomalous" phenomena observed in the PEAR experiments become quite
normal expectations of bonded human/machine and human/human systems,
and the door is opened for all manner of creative
consciousness/environment interactions. See "On
the Quantum Mechanics of Consciousness, With Application to Anomalous
Phenomena". ...".
When I was a small child, there was a clover patch in my back
yard. I very much wanted to find a 4-leaf clover, and I did not have
much else to do, so I spent a lot of time looking for 4-leaf clovers.
For a few days I found only standard 3-leaf clovers, but after a few
days I found a 4-leaf clover. For the next several days, I found more
and more 4-leaf clovers, and I began to wonder about maybe finding
clovers with more leaves. Some days later, I found some 5-leaf
clovers.
The 4-leaf and 5-leaf clovers in the above picture were found by a
friend of mine in Georgia during the year 2002. While 4-leaf clovers
have an extra leaf beyond the usual 3, it seems to me that 5-leaf
clovers are formed by doubling one of the 4 leaves of a 4-leaf
clover, so that it would be natural to find clovers of 6, 7, or 8
leaves by doubling 2, 3, or all 4 of the leaves of a 4-leaf
clover.
That is exactly what I had found after a bit more childhood
searching: clovers with 6, then 7, and, later, 8 leaves. 8
was the maximum number of leaves I found on a clover. To me,
clover symbolized my D4-D5-E6-E7-E8 VoDou
Physics model, as follows:
- 3-leaf clover represents D3 of Conformal Spin(2,4);
- 4-leaf clover represents D4 of Spin(1,7);
- 5-leaf clover represents D5 of Spin(1,9);
- 6-leaf clover represents E6;
- 7-leaf clover represents E7;
- 8-leaf clover represents E8.
From another point of view:
- 3-leaf clover represents 3-dimensional space of physical
Minkowski spacetime with Imaginary Quaternionic structure;
- 4-leaf clover represents 4-dimensional spacetime of (1,3) physical Minkowski spactime
with Quaternionic structure;
- 5-leaf clover represents 5-dimensional (2,3) anti-deSitter spacetime;
- 6-leaf clover represents 6-dimensional (2,4) Conformal
spacetime with some Quaternionic structure and some vestigial
Octonionic structure;
- 7-leaf clover represents 7-dimensional (0,7) spacetime with Imaginary Octonionic structure;
- 8-leaf clover represents 8-dimensional (1,7) spacetime with Octonionic
structure that is reducible to the Quaternionic structures of (1,3) physical
Minkowski spacetime plus CP2 CP2
Internal Symmetry Space (the doubling of the 4 leaves of a 4-leaf
clover reminds me of constructing Octonions
by Cayley-Dickson
doubling of Quaternions).
That is exactly what I had found after a bit more childhood
searching: clovers with 6, then 7, and, later, 8 leaves. 8
was the maximum number of leaves I found on a clover.
After I got a little older and spent less time and energy in the
clover patch, I have not found such things. If you are connected with
something like a clover patch, you can select (maybe by Resonant
Connections and the Quantum
Zeno Effect and the Quantum Anti-Zeno Effect) which futures
involve you and it, and so influence Fate.
To me, clover Resonant Connections represent the Resonance
Phenomena of Quantum Consciousness and
IFA.
A theme of the movie Akira is
connection between Consciousness and
DNA.
Magons
Michael Gibbs
describes a game about magic in which some of his ideas seem to me to
correspond to Quantum Consciousness
Resonance. Here are some quotes from his description ( I have
changed his "magerium" from a substantive element to a structural
pattern. ):
"... THE SCIENCE OF MAGIC
- The magic force is carried by ... particles known as magons ...
- magerium ...[is a type of structure that]... interacts ...
strongly with magons ... because of its unique ... structure ...
- neural tissues of some creatures (including humans) ...
incorporates magerium ... structure ...
- Individuals having substantial quantities of this
...[structure]... are able to affect the flow of magon particles around
them. ...
Magons tend to resonate between objects similar in structure in an
effect similar to a laser cavity. The flow between two similar
objects can be much greater than the ambient magonic radiation. This
effect is enhanced if one structure contains amounts of magerium. The
radiation increases exponentially with time up to a maximum value
which depends on the fraction of reflected energy and the distance
between the objects. The rate at which the energy builds up is
smaller at greater distances. Any dissimilarity between the objects
will allow the majons to dissipate, exerting a force on both objects
to make them more similar. Often this energy ends up in the forms of
heat.
With very careful control, a mage can form an image in his mind
which will resonate with an intended object. By slowly changing this
image, the energy in the magic beam can create a corresponding change
in the object.
Magic ability varies with innate ability (quantity of magerium
...) and the ability of the mage to accurately form and modify mental
images, which can be improved by training and practice.
THE PRACTICE OF MAGIC
All students of magic are taught the three F's: focus, fidelity,
and fine control.
- The ability to focus allows one to be more selective about the
target of the magic and greatly enhances the speed at which magic
energy builds during the casting of a spell.
- Fidelity is necessary to establish the resonance between the
mental image and the target. Imperfections in the image allow energy to
leak from the resonant beam, resulting in less available energy. Worse
yet, some of the leaked energy dissipates as heat in both the caster
and the target, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
- Fine control is necessary to cast magic over complicated objects
or control very small parts (such as the inside of a lock). Fine
control can also enable the caster to focus shorter wavelength magons,
resulting in more powerful spells. Early on, students practice focus by
setting up a hundred identical glass eggs on their ends (there is a
small flat spot on the end of each egg) in a ten by ten array. They
stare at a magic circle for a minute or two and then the instructor
selects an egg at random and asks the student to levitate the selected
egg, leaving the others undisturbed.
SCIENTIFIC NOTE: A magic circle looks just like a Fresnel lens.
The pattern of excitation in the visual cortex creates a lens of
magerium ... which focuses magic energy. Eventually, the student
learns to recreate this pattern from memory without having to stare
at a magic circle. ... Spells can be impressed into magic crystals by
a talented mage. The quality of the crystals has a great effect on
the amount of power a crystal can channel. A flawed crytal will
dissipate energy as heat rapidly, often destroying the crystal. The
most powerful crystals are diamonds containing magerium in their
lattices. ...".
David Bohm's ideas about Quantum
Consciousness are useful and interesting.
In his paper A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter,
Philosophical Psychology, vol.. 3, no. 2, 1990, pp. 271-286,
reprinted on The
Neo-Noetics Page web site, Bohm said "... Let us now return to a
consideration of the quantum theory. What is its relationship to
the interweaving of the physical and the mental ...? First, let
us recall that because the quantum potential may be regarded as
information whose activity is to guide the "dance" of the electrons,
there is a basic similarity between the
quantum
behaviour of a system of electrons and the behaviour of
mind. But if we wish to relate mental processes to the
quantum theory, this similarity will have to be extended. ... one
could begin by supposing, for example, that as the quantum
potential constitutes active information that can give form to the
movements of the particles, so there is a superquantum
potential that can give form to the unfoldment and development of
this first order quantum potential. ...
[ My comment: Bohm's "superquantum potential" is Jack Sarfatti's "back-reaction", which
can be realized physically from the Many-Worlds
point of view by States of Consciousness
using the Quantum Zeno
effect and the Quantum Anti-Zeno
effect to prune the branches of Worlds in
the MacroSpace of the Many-Worlds. ]
... This latter would no longer satisfy the laws of the current
quantum theory, which latter would then be an approximation ...
[ My comment: As Jack
Sarfatti has pointed out, based on papers (Physics
Letters A 156, No.1-2, June 1991 and Physics Letters A 158, No.1-2,
August 1991) by Antony Valentini, conscious back-reaction could violate the assumption of equilibrium
that current ordinary quantum theory uses to obtain the Born approximation that the
square of the amplitude of the wave function gives the probability of
experimental results. As Antony Valentini says
in quant-ph/0203049, NonEquilibrium
Quantum Processes can "... be used to send instantaneous signals,
to violate the uncertainty principle, to distinguish non-orthogonal
quantum states without disturbing them, to eavesdrop on quantum key
distribution, and to read all the results of a parallel quantum
computation. ... pilot-wave theory
indeed allows ... one to consider arbitrary 'nonequilibrium' initial
distributions ...". ]
... that which we experience as mind ... will ... move the body by
reaching the level of the quantum potential and of the 'dance' of the
particles. ... It is thus implied that in some sense a rudimentary
mind-like quality is present even at the level of particle physics,
and that as we go to subtler levels, this mind-like quality becomes
stronger and more developed. ... there is no real division between
mind and matter ... Extending this view, we see that each human being
similarly participates in an inseparable way in society and in the
planet as a whole. What may be suggested further is that such
participation goes on to a greater collective mind, and perhaps
ultimately to some yet more comprehensive
mind in principle capable of going indefinitely beyond even the human
species as a whole. ...".
Akira-Abyss-Matrix
The movies Akira, The
Abyss, and The Matrix all deal with
PSI of Quantum
Consciousness.
Resonance and the Big
Bang
Jack Sarfatti considers
"... The zero point fluctuation Lamb
shift [about 1060 MHz or about 10^9 Hz] in hydrogen
...".
along with the fact that
"... The cosmological redshift due to the expansion of the 3D
space of the universe ("Hubble flow") is
df/f = exp(Hr/c) -1
[where] df is the shift in frequency f, H is Hubble's
constant, H/c = 10^(-28) cm^(-1), and H = (1/3) 10^(-17) sec^(-1).
... [and] r is the spatial separation between two identically
constructed atomic clocks ...
[Then, assuming] Hr/c << 1 ...
df = Hrf/c
... You can ... imagine zero point vacuum fluctuations of virtual
photons of frequency [ f = c/R. ...where R = Planck length =
10^(-33) cm] ... [so that ] ...
df = Hr/R
... if we use Lamb shift atomic clocks we can detect the
cosmological redshift of the zero point vacuum fluctuations as the
beat in the Lamb shift radiation from spatially separated atoms. Even
though we cannot directly detect virtual zero point photons we can
detect their differential effects on relative phases. ...
You can think of df as the beat frequency if you allow the light
from the two radiators to superpose. ...".
Using the values of H and R, we have
df = r x (1/3) x 10^(-17) / 10^(-33) = r x (1/3) x 10^16
Hz
Now, look at the beats between two electrons in adjoining tubulin
cages, about 4 nanometers apart, so that r = 4 x 10^(-7) cm:
df = 4 x 10^(-7) x (1/3) x 10^16 Hz = about 10^9 Hz =
Hydrogen Lamb
shift.
Jack Sarfatti asks:
"... Is there intelligible information in these beats?
Deliberate messages? ...".
If so,
Energy and Stability
If N of the brain's 10^18 tubulin electrons are involved in a
single conscious thought, they are resonantly
connected and correlated as part of a single superposition
collective system, in which scaling is not linear, but as the square
of N. For instance, Carver Mead in his book
Collective Electrodynamics (MIT 2000) says, at page 21:
"... Instead of scaling linearly with the number of charges
that takes part in the motion, the momentum of a collective system
scales as the SQUARE of the number of charges! ... In an arrangement
where charges are constrained to move in concert, each charge produces
phase accumulation, not only for itself but for all the other charges
as well. So the inertia of EACH CHARGE increases linearly with the
number of charges moving in concert. The inertia of the ensemble of
coupled charges must therefore increase as the square of the number of
charges. ...".
Note that in the above-quoted passage Carver Mead is explicitly
dealing with momentum and that energy is the time-component of
4-momentum.
Further, on page 24, Carver Mead says (about N turns of coil
closely coupled, which is like an N-turn coil, or I would say like N
tubulin dipoles):
"... we conclude that an N-turn closely coupled coil
has an inductance L = N^2 L0. Once again, we see the collective
interaction scaling as the square of the number of interacting charges.
... collective quantum systems have a correspondence limit markedly
different from that of classical mechanical systems. ... Collective
quantum systems do not have a classical correspondence limit ...".
For example, consider the maximal case of N tubulin electrons with
N = 10^18, each electron having thermal energy E = kT, where k =
10^(-23) Joules Kelvin^(-1) and T = 300 Kelvin, so that Total Thermal
Energy = N^2 kT = 10^(36-23) x 300 = 3 x 10^15 Joules. (
Due to the nonlinear square-scaling, it would take
less if the collapse took place gradually, a few electrons at a
time. ) Note that decoherence by external thermal energy, with
square-scaling, is different from the self-decoherence of the
superposition state, based on the energy-time uncertainty principle
Energy x Time = h, by which a conscious thought quantum state
decoheres to form a completed thought.
If N tubulin electrons are in a collective superpostion state of
conscious thought, then the total energy needed to decohere them by
external thermal energy (decoherence due to the heat of the brain) is
much greater than the classical kinetic heat energy in the brain, so
that
Quantum Consciousness in the brain is stable against
thermal decoherence due to the heat of the brain.
Carver Mead summarizes his views on Electromagnetic Energy on
pages 71-72 of his book Collective Electrodynamics (MIT 2000):
"... The behavior of colective electron systems is
dominated by the interaction of each element with all of the others.
The interaction energy scales with the square of the number of
electrons. The degrees of freedom of the system can be expressed in
terms of the phase of the wave function, of the four-potential, or of
the circuit variables (voltage and current). These three sets of
variables are projections of the same reality onto three different
screens - each represents the same underlying degrees of freedom. To
illustrate the power of maintaining these parallel views, we have
treated a number of configurations using more than one approach. We
have found that the concepts of kinetic and potential energy, and the
conservation of total energy are useful in unifying these three
representations. The energy-density scalar represents all the
energy in the system; no additional "field energy" is required. ...
... Thus, there are two ways that collective coherent quantum
systems exhibit a voltage proportional to current:
- The first is in an open, propagating system;
- the second is in a closed, quantized system.
In both cases, the proportionality results from the exact equality
of kinetic and potential energies. In neither case is energy
dissipated, unlike the usual conception of resistance as having a
dissipative effect. The ratio of these two fundamental resistances is a
dimensionless number. For historical reasons, the ratio that was first
recognized, called the fine-structure constant alpha, differs from the
resistance ratio by a factor of 2:
R_FS / R_vK = mu_0 c q_e^2 / h = 2 alpha. ...
[ compare the interpretation of alpha as the
probability for an electron to emit or absorb a photon, with the
electron charge q_e being the amplitude for an electron to emit or
absorb a photon ]
.... R_vK = 25812.8065 ohms ... is called the quantized Hall
resistance, or the von Klitzing resistance ... and is now the
international standard of resistance. ... In extremely pure
semiconductors at cryogenic temperatures, the mutual quantization of
charge and flux is an extremely strong effect, allowing the ratio ...
of voltage transverse to current ...
V / I = n PHI_0 / m q_0 = ( n / m ) ( h / q_0^2 )
... to be determined to a few parts in 10^9. When q_0 is equal to
the electron charge q_e, the resistance ... with n = m is R_vK ...".
Sometimes I go beyond the Natural Units in which c = G = h
= 1
to use what we used to call in college
SuperNatural Units in which c = G = h = 1 = 2 = pi
(In other words I sometimes ignore
factors like 2 and pi, etc., for simplicity.)
