AIR. One of the four primary elements, masculine quality, is the spiritual principle, breath, breath, wind, vital energy - prana for the Hindus, qi for the Chinese. Breathing and breathing are associated

Most people live within 50 km of their parents, and the range of spiritual (radio waves) communication could be a reflection of that. Microtubules vibrate in kilohertz, wavelengths measured in kilometer,

What if the spindle apparatus remains attached to the chromosomes after they have separated?

In the cell cycle, centrosome duplication and DNA replication are initiated at the same time, and like with DNA, each centrosome receives one old centriole and one new centriole. The duplicate centrosome,

"Boveri (1901) described the centrosome as "an autonomous permanent organ of the cell - the dynamic center of the cell - the true division center [whose] division creates the center of the daughter

In their seminal work, Craddock, Tuszynski and Hameroff described how tubulin dimers form memory bytes[1, 2], and how CAMKII, a protein that has been associated with long term memory for decades[3], binds

If microtubules are an information level in the cell, and a form of memory storage and possibly a computer, then the cell may want to retain the state of that information system when it replicates, and

The dimensions overall (right image from Kollman et al, have added the left reference dimers) seem like the root complex ("ring complex") could support a 4-start MT, and a 4-start MT would support

The idea that microtubule networks form a "cell computer" has been around since the 50s, with increasing data to support it, tough it is still in its very early days. In 2012, Craddock, Tuszynski

The spiraeum is also replicating during cell division, forming two exact copies of the cell state (not just the genome state, which is on longer time scales. ) An exponential rate for spiraeum replication

CAMKII has six arms, with one kinase domain each (double that actually, one on top and one on bottom), and is equipped to switch the state of up to 6 tubulin at once. Craddock, Tuszynski and Hameroff suggested

Microtubules seem to be able to have the analog equivalent of hash functions if they act as an append-only data structure that physically tethers new input to a position in the MT. With an append-only

Perhaps rather than pulling DNA apart, microtubules as a memory system is also replicating, therefore the symmetry in cell division? The spiraeum is also replicating during cell division, forming two exact

The "golden ratio" (φ) can be understood as a scale-factor that increases the scale of anything with everything that came before, approximated in the Fibonacci series Fn + Fn-1 = Fn+1, 3, 5,

Microtubules are 24 nm in diameter, with a circumference of 75 nm, each tubulin filament occupying 5.8 nm, and with a longitudinal periodicity that of the length of tubulin dimers, 8 nm. The 3 x 2 tubulin

An alternative to the seven-to-nine tubulin patches in Craddock, Tuszynski, and Hameroff's 2012 paper (link), here with six tubulin patches instead, with possible bit states. I have remixed their work,

The wide-spread idea that CAMKII would somehow, just by being activated, form long term memory, by as acting as a molecular switch that can store information indefinitely (Lisman, 1985)[1], shows just

That CAMKII writes 6 bits of data to microtubule lattices is a big leap forward in its role in long term memory. What I learnt in med. school in 2009 was more or less "calcium flows into neuron through

I distanced myself from religion, specifically Christianity, early on, tough never like when people hated on religion, it never felt right, and from paying respect to tradition, out of respect of people

The discovery of DNA as a new information level was not instantaeous, rather it happened through steps, from Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher identifying the chemical signature of nucleotides in the 1860s,
