Human Development VIII: A Theory of “Deep” Quantum Chemistry and Cell Consciousness: Quantum Chemistry Controls Genes and Biochemistry to Give Cells and Higher Organisms Consciousness and Complex Behavior

Abstract

Deep quantum chemistry is a theory of deeply structured quantum fields carrying the biological information of the cell, making it able to remember, intend, represent the inner and outer world for comparison, understand what it “sees”, and make choices on its structure, form, behavior and division. We suggest that deep quantum chemistry gives the cell consciousness and all the qualities and abilities related to consciousness. We use geometric symbolism, which is a pre-mathematical and philosophical approach to problems that cannot yet be handled mathematically. Using Occams razor we have started with the simplest model that works; we presume this to be a many-dimensional, spiral fractal. We suggest that all the electrons of the large biological molecules orbitals make one huge “cell-orbital”, which is structured according to the spiral fractal nature of quantum fields. Consciousness of single cells, multi cellular structures as e.g. organs, multi-cellular organisms and multi-individual colonies (like ants) and human societies can thus be explained by deep quantum chemistry. When biochemical activity is strictly controlled by the quantum-mechanical super-orbital of the cell, this orbital can deliver energetic quanta as biological information, distributed through many fractal levels of the cell to guide form and behavior of an individual single or a multi-cellular organism. The top level of information is the consciousness of the cell or organism, which controls all the biochemical processes. By this speculative work inspired by Penrose and Hameroff we hope to inspire other researchers to formulate more strict and mathematically correct hypothesis on the complex and coherence nature of matter, life and consciousness.

Evolution of Cancer: A Quantum Mechanical Approach

“…This biological quantum field will give rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena in living systems by influencing a certain level of organizational hierarchy, the complex global energy-information pattern through downward causation in order to distribute information in a non-local way [24]. Here we support the hypothesis of 'super orbital' that is the global cell field originated through many levels of interactions among all particles of a cell.…”

“…Consciousness provides an organism, with the ability to know and act in response to its environment, by functioning in a symbiotic manner that controls the necessary genetic and biochemical functions for survival [24] and it is a quality of mind. Sutherland [33] defined consciousness as-"Having of perceptions, thoughts, and feelings; awareness.…”

“…But applying Gödel's Theorem, it is suggested that living systems confine the exactness with which they can be represented due to the uncertainty produced from this inherent complexity [34]. It seems, consciousness is more subtle than the chemistry of life and it can be said as a function of quantum mechanical activity [24] generating at a certain hierarchy of holarchy.…”

“…Actually calculating the collective behavior of the electrons in molecules much larger than water is almost impossible. All the electrons of the molecular orbitals of all the protein molecules and co-enzymes of the cell, including all the many small molecules embedded in these large biomolecules, and cofactors transporting electrons in the mitochondrion's and mediating the photosynthesis in plants are making up one huge structure that is a global cell orbital [24]. If the molecular orbital is connected to a higher system, this system could be energized, through the activity of co enzymes, as well in these movements allowing the super-orbital of the cell to manage energy that can be used to control the dance of other proteins.…”

“…So, it can be viewed from a holistic paradigm underlying the process of life. And consciousness accounts for the reason behind, how this very much complex organism gains the ability to know and act in response to its environment, by functioning in a symbiotic manner that controls the necessary genetic and biochemical functions for survival [24]? The purpose of this review is to propose a holistic view of cancer origin which would enable us to understand the non-linearity that mostly accounts for the cancer enigma.…”
