Consciousness: a quantum optical effect in fluorescent protein pathways

This paper gives a physical mechanism of embodied consciousness based on the dynamic organicity theory of consciousness. We use entropic pilot wave theory to describe the quantum dipole oscillations from dipole-bound delocalized (quasi-free) electrons in nonpolar cavities of aromatic amino acid residues and their fluorescent pathways that contain cavity quasipolariton condensates composed of quantized polarization waves of entangled photons. The behavior of oscillating molecular dipoles is influenced by the quantum nature of dynamic organicity, which causes energy fluctuations necessary to move delocalized electrons and create bare polaritons (quantized polarization waves). These quantized polarization waves correspond to photon quasiparticles interacting with water molecules to form quasipolaritons, softened by interacting with hydroxide ions (OH-) within crystal lattices of interfacial water H30. When [H3O+]=[OH−], the solution is neutral in hydrophobic cavities. In such nonpolar cavities, ‘wet wires’ are formed from hydrated ions (protons), and when displaced, they produce evanescent photons (non-radiative transitions in the absence of any source). Light emission occurs as protons (H+) diffuse in ‘wet wires’ due to recombination with hydroxide (OH-) ions, acting as protonic analogs of ‘holes’ or excitons. The protonic ‘wet wires’ involve proton motion strongly coupled with π-electron delocalization as a conduit for exciton-photon (polariton) and its polarization wave component. We explore the negentropic effect of a 'repulsive force' guided by entropic pilot waves, functioning as an information-based action of the cavity quasipolariton. It is shown that incoherent entropic pilot waves guide quantum coherence in the phase of dipole-bound delocalized electrons. Experiments have shown that biphoton entanglement can influence anaesthetics. We postulate that unconsciousness arises due to the disruption of cavity polaritonic condensate and its polarization wave component, suggesting consciousness is attributed to a quantum ‘optical’ effect in protein pathways.
