Orch-OR Video Corpus: No New Mathematics, Only Quantum-Biology Claims — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: The video corpus is a popular-science aggregation of the Penrose–Hameroff Orch-OR program and quantum-biology claims; it contains no new primary mathematics, only references to microtubule quantum models and decoherence timescales. | MATH: Core referenced quantities: (1) Orch-OR gravitation-induced collapse time τ ≈ ℏ/E_G, with E_G ≈ G m²/r giving τ ~ 10⁻²–10⁻¹ s for a tubulin superposition of mass m ~ 10⁻²¹ kg displaced over r ~ nm; (2) decoherence time τ_d ~ ℏ/(k_B T) × (Δx²/λ_th²)⁻¹, giving τ_d ~ 10⁻¹³–10⁻²⁰ s at 310 K for mesoscopic tubulin states; (3) Fröhlich condensate condition: energy pumping rate > k_B T/τ_relax; (4) spin/radical-pair singlet–triplet interconversion frequency ω ≈ 2π × (1–10) MHz in cryptochrome magnetoreception; (5) quantum walk on microtubule lattice: unitary evolution U = exp(−iHt/ℏ) with H = −J Σ⟨ij⟩ (|i⟩⟨j| + h.c.), lattice coordination z = 6 (hexagonal/tubulin dimer packing). | CONNECTION: Microtubule geometry is a 13-protofilament B-lattice cyl Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
