Which parts of the body are biologically suited to maintain quantum coherence (orderly quantum states) long enough to potentially act as receivers, modulators, or “interfaces” for consciousness?
THREADY THAT IS FORBIDDEN! 🧵

Cell Membranes (Lipid Bilayers & Ion Channels)
Membranes have semiconducting properties, they can act like biological transistors.
Ion channels open/close in ways that might be influenced by subtle quantum tunneling.
Membranes also host receptors sensitive to EM fields, prime candidates for receiving subtle consciousness-related signals.
Quantum aspect.... Electron tunneling in ion channels is well-documented.

Microtubules (Cytoskeletal Structures) me trying to be objective here.
Central to Hameroff & Penrose’s Orch-OR theory of quantum consciousness.
They are highly ordered, hollow protein tubes that support long-range dipole oscillations.
Could, in theory, maintain quantum coherence for measurable periods (femtoseconds; microseconds).
Quantum aspect... Possible quantum vibrations and coherent dipole networks.

Thalamus & Cortical Microcircuits (Neural Oscillators)
The thalamus synchronizes cortical rhythms (theta-gamma coupling).
Large-scale neuronal oscillations may act like macroscopic quantum coherence (similar to lasers, coherence across populations).
Quantum aspect... Not necessarily “micro-level” quantum particles, but phase coherence across millions of neurons creates an emergent quantum-like effect.

Photosensitive Proteins (Cryptochromes, Retinal Molecules)
Found in the eyes and circadian system.
Cryptochromes use quantum entanglement in electron spin states to detect magnetic fields (used in bird navigation).
Suggests our biology already leverages quantum mechanics for sensory processing.
Quantum aspect: Radical-pair mechanism = spin coherence.

Mitochondria (Energy Organelles)
Powerhouses of the cell, but also deeply involved in signaling and apoptosis (cell life/death).
The mitochondrial membrane potential is sensitive to quantum tunneling and coherent electron transport.
Quantum aspect... Quantum tunneling in the electron transport chain = biological quantum computation of energy states(WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN MICROTUBULES).

Water Networks & Fascia
Structured (exclusion zone) water inside cells may support long-range proton conduction.
Fascia, being a continuous connective network, could host coherence across body-wide scales.
Quantum aspect.... Quantum hydrogen-bond networks = coherence in water clusters.

So Which Are Most Important for Receiving Consciousness?
Cell Membranes = first interface, sensitive to EM/consciousness “signals.”
Thalamus-Cortex Networks = synchronizers that integrate signals into awareness.
Microtubules = possible quantum substrates (still debated, but compelling).
Cryptochromes & Photosensitive Molecules = proof-of-principle that biology uses quantum effects for sensing.
Mitochondria = manage bioenergetics with quantum precision, linking energy and awareness.
I didnt even include DNA or voltage gated channels in this mf btw.

TOO CONCLUDE,
Consciousness (if non-local or field-like) would most likely couple into the body via plasma membranes (as receivers), thalamic oscillations (as organizers), and possibly microtubules/mitochondria (as quantum substrates).
