VolumeII Quantum Cognitive Conception: Recursive Geometrical Coherence across Synapses

This volume provides the mechanistic bridge between the symbolic-topological framework established in Volume I and the biophysical substrates that instantiate it in living neural tissue. Central to this volume is the geometric stability parameter α ≈ 0. 7889, which quantifies the fractional contribution of Ricci curvature geometry to coherence protection in microtubule lattices, a mechanism distinct from and stronger than thermal isolation alone. The volume formalizes the resilience audit ℛ_α as the canonical measure of glyph-field stability across neural corridors, introduces persistent homology extension Sₚersist for topological collapse detection, and establishes the feasibility band τc > τᵣ as the local condition under which microtubule quantum coherence transients provide cognitive advantage. The framework maps across three biological scales, cytoskeletal, dendritic, and network, deriving testable predictions at each. The volume remains interpretation-agnostic, treating Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR as the primary candidate mechanism while demonstrating that the geometric protection framework is compatible with alternative collapse interpretations.
