Abstract

FINDING: Posner molecule (Ca₉(PO₄)₆) proposed as quantum information processor in brain; dynamical ensemble is not symmetric. | MATH: Stoichiometry Ca₉(PO₄)₆ → ratio Ca:P = 9:6 = 3:2 = 1.5; phosphorus nuclear spins (I=1/2) as potential qubits; arXiv:2108.08822v2 shows broken symmetry in molecular dynamics. | CONNECTION: Ca:P ratio 3:2 approximates 1.5, not a golden ratio; however, 9 and 6 are multiples of 3, linking to triangular/hexagonal symmetry (crystallographic point group 32/m or 3m). The broken symmetry finding suggests deviation from ideal octahedral or cubic lattice, possibly aligning with lower-symmetry trigonal or monoclinic systems.
