SummarySummary
Used in conjunction with a multidimensional approach of social-psychological conditioning and education, special binaural beat mixes safely provide access to many beneficial first-person experiences of the surrounding world, of the self, and of one’s thoughts and feelings.

(Orch OR) proposes that:
The Penrose - Hameroff model of “orchestrated objective reduction”
(Orch OR) proposes that:
• Quantum superposition/computation occur in microtubule automata within brain neurons.
• Tubulin subunits within microtubules act as qubits, switching between states on a nanosecond (10-9 sec) scale governed by quantum London forces.
• Quantum superposition/computation occur in microtubule automata within brain neurons.
• Tubulin subunits within microtubules act as qubits, switching between states on a nanosecond (10-9 sec) scale governed by quantum London forces.
• Tubulin qubits interact computationally by nonlocal quantum entanglement according to the Schrodinger equation.
• Pre-conscious processing continues until the threshold for objective reduction (OR) is reached by E = h/T*.
• Tubulin qubits interact computationally by nonlocal quantum entanglement according to the Schrodinger equation.
• Pre-conscious processing continues until the threshold for objective reduction (OR) is reached by E = h/T*.
*E is the gravitational self-energy of the superposed mass separated from itself, h is Planck's constant divided by 2pi, and T is the coherence time until collapse occurs.
• At that instant collapse, or OR occurs which is an actual event in fundamental space-time geometry. This event selects a particular configuration of Planck-scale experiential geometry, enacting a “moment of awareness,” “occasion of experience,” or conscious event.
• A sequence of OR events provides a
forward flow of subjective time and "stream" of consciousness.

• During the pre-conscious quantum superposition/computation phase, tubulin oscillations are “tuned” and “orchestrated” by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), providing a feedback loop between the biological system and the quantum state (hence Orch OR).

• Certain environments (e.g., anesthetic gas molecules) associated with critical brain proteins prevent normally occurring London forces, protein conformational dynamics, and superposition necessary for consciousness. • Other environments promote and sustain superposition, expanding consciousness (e.g., psychedelic hallucinogens).
