Finding reveals broken symmetry in the Posner molecule, indicating limitations in neural quantum coherence claims.
FINDING: Posner molecule (Ca₉(PO₄)₆) shows broken dynamical symmetry, undermining claims of long-lived quantum coherence for neural quantum information processing. | MATH: Molecular formula Ca₉(PO₄)₆; symmetry group analysis reveals non-symmetric dynamical ensemble; no specific quantum coherence lifetime or decoherence rate provided in abstract. | CONNECTION: No direct geometric harmony ratios (0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618) or base-60 mathematics; crystallographic symmetry of the Posner molecule is not fully symmetric in dynamical ensemble, breaking expected lattice or root system symmetries. | DEPTH: 3 — The finding is a negative result that refutes a specific hypothesis (Penrose-Hameroff orchestrated objective reduction) but does not provide new mathematical constants, equations, or geometric insights. It advances understanding by ruling out a proposed mechanism, but lacks profound mathematical structure. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
