ENORMOUS CAPACITY. "AI is looking at neurons firing or not firing, 1,000 per second, 1,000 synapses. Something like the 10 to the 15th operations per second per brain… and that’s without even bringing in the quantum business." https://lnkd.in/eFVH_iD View in LinkedIn

VAST TIME AND DISTANCE CYCLES. "It appears that living systems are governed by cycles and correlations, requiring massive cooperation across a large range of time and length scales. At the macroscopic level we see functional periodic changes such as circadian rhythms and seasonal variations, whose regulation cannot be explained by a simple mechanical ‘switch’." https://lnkd.in/e7kcPri View in LinkedIn

NEURON RAM "Each neuron has roughly 10(-8) tubulins switching at roughly 10(-7) per second, getting 10(-15) operations per second per neuron. If you multiply that by the number of neurons you get 10 to the 26th operations per second per brain." https://lnkd.in/eFVH_iD View in LinkedIn

ORDERED COMPLEXITY. "How does life maintain its molecular order long enough to perform its quantum tricks in warm and wet cells?" https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn

MICROTUBULE COMPUTING. "I spent 20 years studying microtubule information processing. The AI approach would be, roughly speaking, that a neuron fires or it doesn’t. It’s roughly comparable to a bit, 1 or 0. It’s more complicated than that but roughly speaking." https://lnkd.in/eFVH_iD View in LinkedIn

BAD VIBRATIONS. "Quantum coherence is an immensely delicate phenomenon, depending on those in-tune particle waves. To maintain it, physicists usually have to enclose their systems within near-perfect vacuums and cool them down to very close to absolute zero temperature to freeze out any heat-driven molecular motion. Molecular vibrations are the mortal enemy of quantum coherence." https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn

NUANCED QUANTUMS. "In the recent years experimental measurements have uncovered fine quantum effects (FQE) in biological systems. These FQE may appear as surprising given the warm soft nature of biological media, as opposed to the cold hard world where quantum effects dominate." https://lnkd.in/eMTJFEQ View in LinkedIn

MICROTUBULE INFO PROCESSING. "MT-based information processing offers a huge potential increase in brain capacity." https://lnkd.in/e2cr6ar View in LinkedIn

"LIFE -- WARM, WET AND NOISY. A primary issue is decoherence, a process where the phases of quantum wavefunctions are randomized to reduce quantum phenomena to classical processes. Decoherence arises from dynamic disorder, or “energy noise”, and is expected to be extremely rapid in biological environments." https://lnkd.in/e7kcPri View in LinkedIn
