FINDING: No new mathematical or experimental evidence for Orch-OR is presented in these sources — they are popular summaries, conference reviews, and one unrelated clinical QA paper. The core Orch-OR claim remains unverified: quantum coherence in microtubules at physiological temperatures has not been demonstrated, and no equation or constant is advanced beyond Penrose's original objective reduction criterion. MATH: No new equations. The underlying Orch-OR formalism relies on: - \( E_Δ ≈ / T \) (Penrose's gravitational self-energy uncertainty, where \(E_Δ\) is gravitational self-energy difference, \(T\) is coherence time) - Microtubule lattice geometry: tubulin dimers arranged in hexagonal (6-fold) and 13-protofilament (13 = Fibonacci-related) patterns — but no quantitative link to 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, or 2.618 is given in these sources. - No base-60, crystallographic root system, or lattice constant appears in the cited material.
