Abstract

FINDING: No new mathematical evidence for Orch-OR is presented in these sources — they are secondary video summaries and one unrelated clinical QA paper.

No new constants, ratios, or derivations appear in the listed sources. The arXiv paper (2608.27467) is clinical NLP — zero relevance. | CONNECTION: None explicit. However, Orch-OR's microtubule lattice (tubulin dimers) has a hexagonal/helical symmetry — tubulin arrays approximate a 13:8 Fibonacci-like helical pitch ratio (1.625 ≈ φ=1.618), and the dimer spacing (~8 nm) vs. protofilament twist (~4 nm) yields a 2:1 ratio.
