Quantum Claims, Qualitative Evidence: Orch-OR 2025–2026 — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Orch-OR research in 2025–2026 centers on megahertz-scale brain oscillations, microtubule time-crystals, and pre-biotic quantum states — but no new quantitative equations or constants are presented in the sources; the evidence is qualitative and media-level. | MATH: No explicit new equations, constants, or ratios extracted from the listed sources. The only numerical anchor is "Megahertz" (10⁶ Hz) brain-wave frequencies, implying a timescale τ ≈ 10⁻⁶ s. The arXiv item (MOASEI) is unrelated to consciousness physics — a multi-agent systems benchmark, mathematically irrelevant here. | CONNECTION: The megahertz frequency in microtubules suggests a possible resonance with the golden-ratio-related frequency spacing if one assumes harmonic stacking — but no data supports this. No 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, or crystallographic symmetry is explicitly mentioned in the findings. The "time-crystal" concept implies discrete time-translation symmetry breaking, which is a crys Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
