"Quantum Minds in a Dark Cosmos: A Framework for Gravitationally Skewed Perception"

This paper introduces a novel hypothesis that dark matter subtly biases human perception by gravitationally influencing predictive coding mechanisms in the brain. Building on the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR model, the paper proposes that quantum coherence in neuronal microtubules is sensitive to dark matter–induced gravitational gradients. These perturbations may skew Bayesian priors and remix perception at the subconscious level. This interdisciplinary framework links astrophysics, quantum biology, and neuroscience, offering testable predictions about seasonal perceptual bias and gravitational decoherence effects. If validated, this work implies that consciousness is not just biologically constructed—but cosmologically influenced. ---
