Abstract

Cephalopod chromatophore colour-matching without colour vision is explained as distributed sampling of OHC Hopf charge topology. Coordination timescale τ ~ 5×10⁻¹¹ s (vs ms neural) predicted from OHC interior phase velocity vₚh = 6. 78c. Reflectin protein identified as a biological Hopf charge sensor. Sheldrake morphic fields given geometric substrate as persistent OHC topological states. Prediction #146: chromatophores show anomalous resonance at BCT void ratio spatial frequency rₜet/rₒct = 0. 5426. Zero free parameters.
