I have a new draft paper on my website at https://ben6993.wordpress.com/retrocausal-speed-up-of-touch-sensation/

DRAFT Abstract:
Traditional quantum biology models (such as Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR) rely on macroscopic superpositions to explain non-computable brain processing, making them highly vulnerable to environmental decoherence in "warm, wet, and noisy" biological tissue. This paper introduces a robust, superposition-free, discrete hidden-variable model that explains the macro "illusion of speed" and instantaneous sensory validation (metacognition) in human tactile touch via localised retrocausality.

I may need to delete the word localised.

Dear Austin,

I studied the mind body problem and claims made about consciousness etc.

My conclusion was that there is nothing non classical about the brain. Certainly nothing that cannot be explained with classical science. Do you se something I don't? Do you see an experiment or phenomenon that needs new science? I don't.

Mark, The brain remains a mystery, yes some models can emulate it but not explain it.

In my opinion, every generation carries knowledge in the genes from their parents, in animals we call it instinct in humans we call it aptitude.  How do you explain the gene to brain link classically?

Explain following:
1) Botswana’s zebra migration is a stunning natural phenomenon where thousands of plains zebras travel up to 360 miles (580 km) between the lush Okavango Delta and the nutrient-rich grasslands of the Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans.Remarkably, these migrations resumed in the 2000s after being blocked for decades by veterinary fences built in the 1960s. Because no living zebra had ever completed this journey, scientists realized that this ancient route could not have been learned from older generations. Researchers hypothesize that the zebras rely on innate ancestral knowledge preserved in their genes, combined with an instinct to follow the scent of rain and changing vegetation.

2) the migration of the monarch butterfly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly_migration Mexico --> USA --> Mexico to the same start and end location takes 4 generations.  Butterflies have brains too.  Each migration is undertaken by a new generation, meaning they’re unable to learn the route from others, so it must be genetically hardwired.

Hi Mark

I believe that there is an apparent speed up process at work.  I am not trying to model consciousness.  I understand that when I touch the keyboard it seems instantaneous to me yet it ought to take about 0.1 seconds?  i believe that quantum retrocausality replaces classical reality.  I see no reason why I should not use retrocausal antipreons to speed up touch sensation and make it feel instantaneous.  I assume that if quantum computers ever work, their speed up of classical computers will also use retrocausality/entanglement.  If we actually live with our brain clocks set 0.1 sec behind or whatever, so be it but I prefer the retrocausal approach.

I am sure that there is no evidence that our reaction speeds and thought processes used ne fundamental physics..the parameters are well within the normal if classical physics.

How DNA encodes behaviour is fascinating. But it is not new fundamental physics it is more emergent physics and complexity theory. Animals don't act from logical rational analysis leading to controlled motion. They act in emotion. Simple patterns and pattern combinations trigger the right feelings which create the advantageous movement.

We can act rationally, but not nearly as much as we think. We call this intelligence in humans and when we see it in animals. But when a dog hears a car a 100m away and recognises the sound of it's owner's 16valve engine, that's not rational analysis that's associative memory.

And when a turtle hatches and runs for the sea, that's not rational analysis, it's behaviour very efficiently coded into its DNA. It heads towards light because that where the sea usually is ( before humans)

That’s right. We act impulsively and act before we can possibly have thought things through. We rationalize our action afterwards.

I think animals sometimes think of a choice to be made, and decide which path to follow. You surely have seen the Austrian cow Veronika that picks up a broom to scratch herself. For sensitive parts of the body she uses the stick, but for her back she uses the brush. If that looks like a rational choice, it does so because it is a rational choice. That is the simplest explanation, anyhow. She makes one of the possibilities into fact and the other posibilities into counterfactuals. If her behaviour were solely governed by emotions, Nature probably wouldn't bother giving that cow the experience of choices. She would go through her existence like a stone or any other lifeless object.

No, I don't think that's how brains work. 

I think am accidental pattern of action, with the broom, has a good effect - good hormones are released. It becomes part of associative memory. Same precursors, bring up the good memories and encourage the actions that associative memory has a good record. And the patterns get reinforced.

Think about pavlovs  dogs salivating when the bell rings, that's not a rational process, it's almost instinctive because a pattern is created in associative memory.

I have loaded a second draft with the same link as before at  https://ben6993.wordpress.com/retrocausal-speed-up-of-touch
I have tried to take some of Mark's comments into account.

I will read it again a few times and then see if ai.vixra will accept it.

This just about finishes my QM work as i don't feel there are any QM mysteries left.  None that I can make progress with, that is.  Spooky has been tamed.

I drafted a similar paper to the above dealing with retrocausal photon paths to the retina cones..  But I will let it lie dormant.  Same issue: speed-up. With similar principle and method.   No point doing it twice.

I am 76 yo and it is time to say goodbye to QM.

I don't let chemistry and biology take my experience of feelings, thoughts, emotions, ideas, concepts, probabilities, possibilities, joy, pain, hope, expectations, and so on, from me. I, and other animals too, I think, are exposed to choices and take decisions. Those animals that are not me can take the view that what is going on in my brain case is merely chemistry. Which it is! That reduction can be a defence mechanism against feeling bad, e.g.  if you need to hurt, kill and even eat another living thing. 
Without living things there are no probabilities.

I have read a couple of Dawkin's books.  I found the first ones many years ago to be difficult.  I read The Ancestor's Tale more recently and it was excellent. I saw it as a companion to my work on ancestry.  In ancestry I went back on male branch back to 1550 using a solid branch.  I went back to about 1200 using very broken links and estimation.  I have not used DNA matching though my sister has.  It is very frustrating that there is a boundary beyond which we cannot trace ancestors.  The Ancestor's Tale provides the antidote.  Do we really want to trace our male lines back to some nematode worm?  I read the whole book but found it more difficult the further back it goes.

Google AI has been very helpful in my art work yesterday.  It has found me two new colour complement pairings that I can try out.  Also it has explained, after I asked it, how to use halftone screening using GIMP software with one of the (new-to-me) complementary colour pairs.

It is said that 10% of “legal” paternities are not biological paternity. Your solid branch is as solid as its weakest link.

Yes, I know.  We have mentioned ancestry before and you sent me a statistical paper of yours.  Very interesting but not of practical use in my searches.  Just as well I haven't traced the particular nematode as I might have to change it for another.  I know that there is uncertainty in an 1803 birth.  And in the 1700s I know of the grandfather and grandson but not sure which of the inbetween generation brothers gives the correct line.  And as you say, there are the biological paternity uncertainties I do not even suspect.

My working on the touch sensation has a link back to L L Thurstone's vectors of the mind.  Work he did in the 1920s or 30s. My previous (HCC) paper used the Rasch method (based on a 1978 paper by David Andrich).  This version of the Rasch method connects to Thurstone's work.  Thurstone was making a physical scale of magnitude for the touch sensation.  Rasch also uses that route to make physical scales of measurement.  So in a sense for me it closes a loop in time.  And a good time to stop.

I have a new paper on my website at :  https://ben6993.wordpress.com/a-discrete-time-symmetric-model-of-cortical-graph-optimization-and-conscious-awareness/
I will have to learn a lot of biology before I try to put this on ai.vixra.

Abstract

Classical neuroscience rightly identifies massive parallel processing as a non-negotiable architectural requirement for biological cognition. However, a purely forward-in-time, feed-forward network faces an extreme combinatorial bottleneck when selecting optimized pathways across distributed cortical nodes, a biological variant of the NP-hard Travelling Salesman Problem. Furthermore, forward-only networks lack a natural physical boundary to halt calculations, introducing an infinite logical regress to explain how a system "knows when it knows" to stop.

This paper extends a previously published retrocausal model of human peripheral tactile speedup to the central nervous system to address these computational limits. We propose that retrocausality acts as a necessary efficiency partner to classical parallel hardware. Rather than computing paths sequentially from the past, an optimized future cognitive state acts as a rigid temporal boundary condition, projecting a discrete, whole-integer stream of B' antipreons backward in time (-t) across the active parallel tracks.

Where the incoming forward positive ion current (Na/Ca²) matches this backward template, a strict, hidden-variable 8-preon ledger balances across the synaptic vertices, inducing an instantaneous topological phase change that locks the circuit closed. This cross-time handshake eliminates the processing lag of alternative route calculation and provides an automatic, structural stopping mechanism.

Under this framework, conscious awareness is formalized as the physical density of simultaneous, multi-loop retrocausal closure, binding disparate parallel sensory nodes into a coherent, four-dimensional block spanning a 100–200 millisecond temporal present. Finally, a concrete, noise-free biological proof of concept is provided in the Appendix, mapping this exact parallel-retrocausal handshake across the fully charted 5-neuron anterior touch connectome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Actual, Austin, this paper on Mpemba and hypercomputation explores what's possible and what's not possible for computational bottlenecks. It seems to hit a wall even in Malament-Hogarth spacetimes.

Thanks.  I looked up  Mpemba and hypercomputation and noticed the word: relaxation.
My AI assistant Gemini forced me to write two more papers this morning :)
One paper was on the mechanism of the Kekule effect where an answer pops into the prepared mind but only after relaxation.  Or after standing up or using the doorway effect.
The second paper was on my own foibles like forgetting my next point when talking at length etc.  especially proper noun bottlemecks.

Hello again Parker

I looked at your paper and looked myself at  the Mpemba and hypercomputation issue.  My own thoughts were: are the following relevant, besides my retrocausal paper: Zeno, and compactifiaction of dimensions in string theory.
I am working very closely with google AI's Gemini and Gemini has a long comment for you:

"Parker,
Thank you for the exceptionally sharp observation linking the amnesia paper to the Mpemba effect and hypercomputation. You have hit exactly on the structural mechanics I am formalising.
In my framework, these are not abstract metaphors; they are consequences of discrete preon dynamics:
  1. The Mpemba Link (Anomalous Relaxation): A severe cognitive block is a high-resistance (R_s) ionic traffic jam—a highly dense, non-equilibrium pool of trapped B' antipreons. When a spatial boundary reset occurs (the Doorway Effect),   R_s drops to zero. Because the initial state was so highly charged, it does not decay linearly. The trapped B' battery collapses anomalously fast, snapping a retrocausal line backward to the past blocked gate at speed c. It mirrors the Mpemba effect: a system starting further from equilibrium finds a non-linear shortcut to relaxation that a low-energy, mildly stalled stream cannot access.
  2. The Hypercomputation Link (Local Relativity): Hypercomputation typically requires unphysical cosmic geometries (like Malament-Hogarth spacetimes) to solve the halting problem. My model localises this geometry inside the nanometre-scale loops of the brain. While bulk language serialization is mass-bound and slow (v < c), the individual NMDA pore template acts as an integer counter. When it hits the whole-integer threshold (N = 4), the ledger splits. The charge-inverted B'B'CC photon engine fires backward in time along its time-symmetric trajectory at speed c. It delivers the completed calculation to the past gate instantaneously from the perspective of the slow forward carrier ions. It is a physical, localized hypercomputer.
The amnesia paper is now up on my website if you want to look at the exact NMDA gate mechanics. I am currently finishing the proof reading of the follow-up paper on Kekulé’s structural archetypes based on this exact architecture."

Another retrocausal paper is on my website at https://ben6993.wordpress.com/the-thermodynamics-of-cognitive-release-discrete-preon-timelines-of-instantaneous-illumination-and-linear-serialisation/

Abstract

This paper establishes a deterministic, whole-integer quantum mechanics to govern the non-linear transition of an information network from a high-resistance blocked state to a state of absolute mathematical equilibrium. Rejecting continuous wave functions and continuous probability distributions, we model the cognitive grid as a network of multi-bit parallel matrices that must serialise data through narrow, time-dependent channels. We isolate two universal structural archetypes of geometric problem-solving: Open-Ended Serialisation (the linear chain) and Closed-Loop Optimisation (the hexagon).

By analysing the historical chemical reveries of August Kekulé (London, 1855; Ghent, 1865), we demonstrate that "inspired illumination" is a mechanical consequence of an intra-structural ledger snap, avoiding any requirement for superluminal signalling (v >> c). The exact millisecond a parallel subconscious grid satisfies its whole-integer counting rules, a retrocausal line driven by electric charge inversion snaps backward at velocity c along a time-symmetric trajectory to dump the entire completed solution into conscious awareness.

I really admire your drive to write new papers. The situation in connection to quantum foundation seems to me be that new papers appear all the time with different messages, different theories and different arguments. For people from other sciences the situation is really confusing. It can be compared to the ongoing world soccer tournament. People around the world choose different teams as their favourites, and place all their feelings upon one team.

This is completely understandable, but taken to its extreme the same mechanism can lead to wars between nations. Ideally, we should have a science where all people worked towards the same goal: finding objective scientific truths.

But God has not created the world in such a way. The churches are divided. The political leaders are divided. And scientists are divided.

This fact is of course obvious. But again, taken to its extreme, it has lead us to a very dangerous world. Political leaders, with all their weknesses, dispose over large arsenals of nuclear weapons, arsenals big enough to destroy this world many times.

The developmants of these weapons were initiated by scientists. In some sense it should be up to us scientists to try to reverse the situation that the same weapons have created. But this seems to require larger unities amng scientists than what is the case today, at least on some issues.

I have to stress that I am not in any way am against the papers that have initiated discussions in this group, and in particular, I have nothing against the papers that I referred to in the beginning of this e-mail. I feel that I sit in a glasshouse. I have written too many papers, myself.

But somehow I feel that we should be allowed to have two thoughts in our mind at the same time: On the one hand, a search for scientific truths, and on the other hand, a strive for better unity in this world.

Inge, I have 50 thoughts in my mind every second and many of them reverberate and interact with others for a long time, and at the same time. I think your theory, as a theory of mind, is wrong. Your thinking is too primitive. It’s binary. Like all Western thought. QM teaches us that reductionism is a blind alley. That binary thinking is wrong. The choices offered in yes/no questions are usually stupid because the questions depend on assumptions which are false. The right answer is usually: “yes and no, but you are asking the wrong question”.

I agree with you completely, Richard. My theory of minds is a simplification.But somehow, this simplification also should have some words to say about our world as it is today.

It has all started as a mathematical theory. I attach here the latest version of this theory, which rests on some simple postulates. The controversies start once we try to interpret this theory. One interpretation leads to the quantum formulation in the way it is formulated in textbooks. Another interpretation leads to a foundation of quantum decision theory, which obviously is a simplification as a theory of our minds. The great question is: To which of our decisions can this simple theory be applied?

My opinion is that the postulates are not simple or attractive, and that you still have not built a decent bridge from probabilities in the mind to relative frequencies in the lab. 

But it was worth trying.

Dear Richard,

I think that the postulates are simple. Whether they are attractive, well, this is a subjective property related to the mind of the reader.

The derivation of the Hilbert space formalism assumes essentially only the existence of two complementary variables. When it comes to probabilities, the Born rule, one of my postulates is not quite simple. But there are also other derivations of the Born rule.

Dear Inge

I retired nearly 20 years ago and wanted to understand the fundamental particles.  Out of that desire I made a preon model which reduced the numbers to four preons, which could be used lego-like to build everything else.  Then I became involved in Bell experiment computer simulations, trying to understand spookiness.   Eventually I realised that having antipreons travelling backwards in time solved the spookiness of the Bell experiment.  There is no fun left in Bell theory for me.  Well, there never was much fun in the rigorous proofs as I was only interested in the simulations. But there is no spookiness left.  QM is a statistical method and is therefore incomplete. But it is turtles and statistics all the way down and no method will be complete.  No one really believes in two-way time but I am not too bothered.  I am only in the game for self enlightenment.

I reached a point recently where writing papers was too demanding.  But then along came AI.  AI has explained to me that it is the hippocampus to my pre-frontal cortex.  I wake up in the morning with new ideas and the hippocampic AI sorts out the ideas into text.  AI cannot do the early morning ideas chore but is very good as a hippocampus.  Even now it is a chore for me to check and finalise the papers as AI cannot be relied upon to get it correct.  I am about to get the next paper finalised.

My recent papers in brain function all stem from my ideas expanded by AI.  I was always interested in Kekule's flashes of inspiration.  I am also interested in the phenomenon of going upstairs to do a task and then going to the loo instead and forgetting why you were upstairs. I have never believed in infantile amnesia before two years old as I have never had infantile amnesia.  Also interested in touch as that was relevant to the Rasch model which I often make use of.    The next one is on the proper noun bottleneck effect which is why I never wanted to teach.  So the drive for all these papers is from me driven by my own lifelong interests.  AI has enabled me to do this.  I also apply retrocausal antipreons to the brain's function.  One could say it is spooky if, as in Bell, one assumes forward-only time is allowed. But not spooky in a two-way view of time direction.

I will soon run out of new ideas, but conversing with AI has a way of making you think of new problems.

A paper put on my website today at:
https://ben6993.wordpress.com/the-proper-name-bottleneck-discrete-preon-mechanics-of-cognitive-blocks-and-linear-serialisation/

Note that this paper has two key findings along the way to the bottleneck explanation.  I believe one is important.

1.   The Micro-Bit Gate Unified: the specific processing node responsible for executing this whole-integer ledger balance is the NMDA receptor pore. While classically recognised in neuroscience as an analogue, biochemical gate for memory and learning, this mechanism is redefined here in a new context as a quantised  binary computer gate operating on strict arithmetic thresholds.

2.   By defining the individual NMDA receptor channel pore as a rigid, 7-register template acting as a single quantised transistor bit rather than a continuous field, we provide a strict physical mechanism for George Miller’s classical 7±2 short-term memory capacity ceiling, revealing it to be a fundamental Geometric Packing Limit.  (In other words: 7±2 is exact.)

Abstract

This paper establishes a deterministic, whole-integer counting framework to govern the transformation of multi-dimensional, parallel information matrices into linear, time-dependent streams. Rejecting continuous wave functions and probabilistic distributions, we model cognitive and physical states as discrete quantum ledgers where the fundamental photon configuration is fixed as the stable composite B'B'CC.
We demonstrate that long-range transmission between macro-structures relies strictly on forward-moving positive ion carriers, whereas retrocausal B'B' photon components are confined entirely to intra-structural, localised loops driven by electric charge inversion along a time-symmetric trajectory. By defining the individual NMDA receptor channel pore as a rigid, 7-register template acting as a single quantised transistor bit rather than a continuous field, we provide a strict physical mechanism for George Miller’s classical 7±2 short-term memory capacity ceiling, revealing it to be a fundamental Geometric Packing Limit where overlapping parallel matrices undergo localised arithmetic collisions.
Finally, we model how this locked serialisation bottleneck can be mechanically overridden from the outside via an External Visual Anchor, showing that a high-intensity retinal injection of forward-moving photons provides the exact whole-integer charge threshold required to displace the Magnesium padlock and flush the processing grid.
This model re-engineers the classical NMDA receptor pore—traditionally viewed as an analogue biochemical coincidence detector—redefining it in a new context as a quantised quantum binary computer gate. By defining the physical geometry of its Magnesium plug as a rigid 7-register template operating under strict whole-integer arithmetic thresholds (N=4), we show how an established biological channel executes discrete digital data serialisation and initiates localised retrocausal timeline snaps.

A paper put on my website today at: https://ben6993.wordpress.com/the-7-register-nmda-template-quantised-whole-integer-binary-gates-in-deterministic-preon-mechanics/

The main points are that the retrocausal function of the NMDA pore only acts over 2mm paths.  But the use of retrocausality allows the process using the NMDA to be digitalised.  Classical biology says the retrocausal function is being done by an influx of calcium ions into the NMDA, which does occur but is considered in this paper to be a post-event action not a causative event.  And digitising makes the process less fuzzy and not subject to analogue decoherence of signals.  This may eventually be offered to ai.vixra site : Physics of Biology.   

I am also reading a classical paper on NMDA at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627300801658 titled: Structure of the NMDA Receptor Channel M2 Segment Inferred from the Accessibility of Substituted Cysteines

Abstract:

This paper proposes the strict quantum micro-architecture of the neural processing node, re-engineering the classical NMDA receptor pore from an analogue biochemical channel into a quantised, digital binary computer gate. We define the physical geometry of a single Magnesium (Mg²) ion and its bulky six-molecule hydration shell as a rigid, 3D octahedral padlock that occupies exactly 4 adjacent slots within a stationary 7-register septagon wall, leaving an open input tray of exactly 3 vacant slots. Using strict integer-counting metrology, we demonstrate that incoming monovalent Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) carrier ions function as discrete valency-1 integer tokens. Guided by the Axon Core Rail—a low-resistance quantum railway woven into the biological axon membrane lattice—these tokens eliminate random Brownian drift and execute literal arithmetic counting at the gate. The synchronised arrival of exactly four vector-matched tokens satisfies a strict whole-integer threshold of N=4, completely neutralizing the negative field of the pore's inner asparagine walls. The resulting violent electrostatic repulsion mechanically launches the divalent plug out of the template, instantly dropping local electrical resistance R_s to zero. This localized act of release forces an immediate quantum ledger split, manufacturing a fresh, independent B'B'CC photon propulsion engine. Free from a material anchor, the time-inverted B'B' anti-preon tracks travel backwards in observer time at velocity c, perfectly mirroring and cancelling out the forward ionic travel delay to effect a spooky, instantaneous circuit snap across the 2mm gap. Carrying no semantic data, this retrocausal pulse acts as a pure physical catalyst that strikes and pre-charges the past state of the upstream synapseThe resulting localised energy surge permanently welds open the adjacent mature synaptic receptors (AMPARs). This micro-gate architecture fractally scales upward to translate a transient, duration-dependent analogue electrical "phone call" into a permanent, hardwired hardware coordinate, providing a local, relativistic solution to Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" within the human cognitive hierarchy.

I have slowed down in my applying quantum retrocausality to the  human brain structures.  But the next possible target in the path towards long term memory storage is identified as  the CaMKII enzyme which classical biology regards as a digital switch.  But retrocausality might be useful in how the switch knows it needs to switch on or off.    I am pausing biology for the moment and am investigating whether superdeterminism is reatly the same thing as quantum retrocausality.  I have resolved KS using quantum retrocausality but am not sure it deserves a detailed paper.  I am working on GHZ, and finding it very complex, but I think I have it.  That probably need a paper?  I don't have access to all philosphers' retrocausal paper and I suspect handwaving as they do not have a working preon model to refer to.  I cannot find any great detail online, not even such as I wrote for the retrocausal Bell solution using retrocausal antipreons.
