The
group I've been working with has developed a new kind of processor, what
we call a quantum state processor (qsp). The group has issued its report,
with all the details, so all I want to point out is that it converts the
inputs into superposed states and then collapses them to the output state.
Rather, some curious side issues have come up. The qsp uses molecules
with multiple stable states that do not disrupt the underlying matrix.
I happenned to show them to a biologist friend. He said they looked like
secondary structures in some proteins.
Well, we analyzed them and he was right. It turns out some gene
regulators and neurotransmitters do have these multiple state substructures
which would give them a degree of transcendence.
So. While biologists agree evolution works, more or less, they still
feel it operates too quickly. Nor does it explain species radiation, that
new species appear fully differentiated. We might now be able to explain
these.
A species accumulates many variants among its genes, but inhibits
them. Once an inhibitor shifts, the offspring can be very different in
just one or two generations. But the probability of stabilty in a new biochemical
system is so small, evolution should still be working on prokaryotes.
But multiple state regulators can, effectively, examine trillions
of gene combinations and select those which are most stable. Of course,
these proteins cannot create new DNA, so there are limits to what can be
changed.
Now that my friend knows what to look for, we detecting superpositions
in the DNA-protein complexes. And it seems DNA replicators are what induce
the state collapse. Because the interaction of regulators and replicators
affect the charge distribution.
The same amino acid sequences are found in the neurotransmitters
of warmblooded vertebrates, the mammals, birds, and perhaps the dinosaurs.
The situation is more complicated, but we think we're detecting stable
superpositions and collapses in the synapses.
Is this consciousness?
This is still all highly speculative, but very exciting, and we
welcome further research. For example:
-This could explain the rapid evolution of higher vertebrates.
-Depressives are missing some of the transcendent sequences, and
schizophrenics have extras.
-What are dreams and imaginations? They could be transcendent explorations
in alternate realities? Only higher vertebrates dream.
These transcendent neurotransmitters also appear in another phylum,
the arthopods. However the sequences operate differently, without state
collapses. In effect the entire arthopod is superposed, not just some of
its neurons.
It seems nature has produced two strategies for animals, each battling
for dominance. Warm-blooded, highly aware vertebrates, very complicated,
with very slow reproduction. And cold-blooded robotic insects, fast, simple,
and prolific. Mind over Machine?
