“…Although published reviews, criticisms or comments on this theory are negligible to non-existent, it is well received at conferences and in private communications by some physicists and the like. Two more papers on the same subject were also published in this electronic journal, NeuroQuantology (Hu & Wu, 2004a;2004c).…”

Many experiments have shown that quantum entanglement is physically real. In this article, we will discuss its ontological origin/nature, implications and potential applications by thinking outside the standard interpretations of quantum mechanics. We argue that quantum entanglement originates from the primordial spin processes in non-spatial and non-temporal pre-spacetime, implies genuine interconnectedness and inseparableness of once interacting quantum entities, play vital roles in biology and consciousness and, once better understood and harnessed, has far-reaching consequences and applications in many fields such as medicine and neuroscience. Then, we will recall our journey into the field of consciousness studies and the inception and development of the spin-mediated consciousness theory. (Arnesen, et al, 2001; Ghost et al, 2003& Julsgaard et al, 2001. Indeed, it is currently the most intensely studied subject in physics. Further, speculations abound as to its nature and implications (See, e.g., Clarke, 2004, Josephson, 1991& Radin, 2004. There are many general and technical papers written on the subject. So cutting to the chase, we shall immediately outline our propositions on the subject and then discuss each in some detail with references to existing literature whenever possible. Readers are advised that our propositions are outside the mainstream physics. Later in this article, we shall recall our journey into the field of consciousness studies and the inception and development of the spin-mediated consciousness theory. In memory of Thomas JeffersonThe following are our propositions about the ontological origin/nature, implications and potential applications of quantum entanglement:1. It originates from the primordial spin processes in non-spatial and non-temporal pre-spacetime. It is the quantum "glue" holding once interacting quantum entities together in pre-spacetime, implies genuine interconnectedness and inseparableness of the said quantum entities and can be directly sensed and utilized by the entangled quantum entities. 2. Thus, it affects chemical/biochemical reactions, other physical processes and microand macroscopic properties of all forms of matters as already shown by some authors in the latter case. It plays vital roles in many biological processes and consciousness. It is the genuine cause of many so called anomalous effects (if they do exist) in parapsychology, alternative medicine and other fields as some authors have already suspected in some cases 3. Further, it can be harnessed, tamed and developed into revolutionary technologies to serve the mankind in many areas such as health, medicine and even recreation besides the already emerging fields of quantum computation and communications.

“…In the brain, spin-networks were pictured as electron-unpaired electron spins that represent pixels, collectively forming a "mind screen" that is known to be highly sensitive to fluctuating internal magnetic fields and action potentials. Such perturbations were considered to modulate neural dynamics, but also could enhance synchronization and stochastic resonance as have been noticed in brain (Hu and Wu, 2004). The particular spin chemistry bridges classical neural activity, serving as input via the magnetic influences on biochemical processing.…”

The present knowledge of the brain neurology, collectively, is insufficient to explain higher mental processes such as (self)-consciousness, qualia, intuition, meditative states, transpersonal experiences as well as ultra rapid brain responses and functional binding between distant parts of the brain. It is proposed that super-causal space-time configurations may function as an interface between molecular transitions and the particular higher mental functions. As super-causal principles, the iso-energetic brain model as well as various quantum brain theories are treated. Isoenergetic states of the brain may enable protein perturbation mediated information processing within a tenth of a millisecond and make use of subjective space-time configuration created in life as an emergent modality of the neural system. In addition, elementary quantum processes are seen as essential for higher brain functions, since our central nervous system forms an integral part of a dynamic universe as a non-local information processing modality. In this respect, quantum physics also allows the build-up of an individual mental knowledge domain on the basis of selfselective imprinting of a geometric space/time dimension, as induced by wave/ particle transitions in the brain. The central hypothesis of the present paper is that a versatile and rapid responding brain function requires complementary information processing mechanisms both at the iso-energetic and quantum (macro-and micro-) levels, enabling bottom up and top down information processing. This requires a nested organization of fine-tuned neural micro-sites that enable coherence/de-coherence transitions as a basis for information transfer. For a rapid and causally effective flux of information, as well as a continuous updating of a personal information domain, a "bi-cyclic" mental workspace is conceived, housing interacting and entangled wave and protein-based perturbations that buildup and retrieve information from a universal knowledge domain.Key Words: universal information field, super-causal brain mechanisms, iso-energetic brain, quantum brain models, mind/matter, cyclic mental workspace, complementary processes for ultra rapid brain responses

“…It was mentioned in a paper [206] that there was significance of microscopically strong and fluctuating internal magnetic fields produced largely by paramagnetic oxygen in brain function. This was able to produce stochastic resonance to synchronize dynamics to the neural firings.…”

Rioting historically has been known to cause changes in individual cognition, with heightened emotionality, increased excitement and reduced reflective thought. A cross-disciplinary literature review hypothesises emotional states generate corresponding metabolic bio magnetic fields that radiate in patterns reflecting these emotional states. The oscillatory phase of these waves is advanced as being more significant than the power of signal, permitting stochastic effects to magnify signals by appropriating ambient noise. Possible transmission and detection structures in the body are discussed, induced paramagnetic sensitivity in crowd participants in a phase transition process is hypothesised, the effect may be proportional to crowd numbers. It is suspected that positive effects seen in Transcranial Magnetic Therapy used to treat depression may be operating on this mechanism, acting on natural receptors in the limbic system which also capture light and are implicated in mood transitions. A number of paramagnetic neurotransmitters may be implicated.
