Critical evaluation reveals an absence of mathematical support for quantum brain hypotheses, indicating that popular-science claims conflate unrelated cosmology with neural biology.
FINDING: No new mathematical discovery; results are speculative YouTube summaries and one unrelated cosmology paper (CMB B-modes) mislabeled as "brain" — no quantitative evidence of quantum effects in neural tissue. | MATH: None extracted; no equations, constants, or ratios provided in any source. The only concrete math is from the CMB paper (B-mode angular power spectrum, ~10⁻³ relative to temperature fluctuations) — irrelevant to consciousness. | CONNECTION: None. No geometric ratios (0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618), no base-60, no crystallographic symmetry, no root systems or lattice structures appear in any finding. | DEPTH: 1 — The sources are popular-science videos with zero mathematical content. The single arXiv paper is about cosmology, not biology. No testable equation, no constant, no symmetry group, no harmonic ratio. This is noise, not signal.
