Abstract

FINDING: Search results are dominated by pop-science YouTube content (Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR, "brain-vacuum" claims); the only peer-reviewed item is a CMB polarisation experiment (BRAIN/CLOVER) unrelated to consciousness. | MATH: No equations, constants, or ratios are extractable from the supplied abstracts. Orch-OR's actual quantitative claim (Penrose 1996) is a gravitational self-energy collapse criterion: E_Δ = ℏ/t, with τ ≈ ℏ/E_G where E_G is the gravitational self-energy of the superposition of a tubulin mass distribution; Hameroff-Tuszynski estimate τ ~ 10⁻²–10⁻¹ s for ~10⁹ tubulin dimers, vs. neural decoherence times ~10⁻¹³–10⁻²⁰ s at 310 K (Tegmark 2000). The BRAIN/CLOVER paper concerns B-mode angular power spectra C_ℓ^BB, ~10⁻³ below C_ℓ^TT — no biological content. | CONNECTION: None supported by evidence. No φ, no 0.618, no base-60, no crystallographic/root-system structure appears in any cited source.
