Conscious Quantum Field Hypothesis (CQFH) v2.3

*Updated May 29, 2025: References [1, 4, 6–8, 14, 25, 28, 29] in v2.2 (DOI: 10.31234/osf.io/uhj97_v1) were incorrect. This v2.3 (DOI: 10.31234/osf.io/uhj97_v2, 100 references) corrects them, additionally the statement "The potential toroidal geometry of microtubule lattices, inspired by topological phonon modes" [27, 90, 85] is incorrect. It should read: "Topological quantum states in MoTe2 and phonons suggest entanglement stability, paralleling microtubule lattices" [25, 26, 27]. Contact akoski.cqfh@gmail.com for details. The Conscious Quantum Field Hypothesis (CQFH) v2.3 proposes fundamental quantum consciousness as a quantized scalar field C(x,t), driven by 40 Hz microtubule coherence in cortical neurons. Modulated by 0.1–10 Hz neural electromagnetic fields, 4–8 Hz theta oscillations via vagus nerve signaling, and 1–4 Hz delta synchrony, the field persists for ~0.0001 s. Shielded by actin and structured water, the field’s coherence is enhanced by tryptophan super-radiance, neural plasmonics, mitochondrial dynamics, biophoton emissions, and neuropeptide signaling. This fosters entanglement (S_collective ~ 26.6 bits) and integrated information (Phi), bridging quantum and classical neural activity. Ten 2025–2026 experiments test this falsifiable model, leveraging 2022–2024 findings on microtubule coherence, biophotonics, synaptic plasticity, neuropeptide signaling, and network criticality. CQFH v2.3 offers a bio-quantum framework to explore potential shared reality, enabled by subconscious processing and collective neural synchrony, with extensions deferred to UCQFH.
