Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) Theory

Orch-OR, by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff, posits consciousness arises from quantum computations in brain microtubules. Quantum superpositions collapse via gravitational objective reduction, enabling non-computable processes beyond classical computing.

In dreams: Speculatively, sub-threshold quantum events in microtubules drive subconscious patterns, optimizing states or accessing parallel realities through resonance. Ties to creativity: Quantum non-locality fosters novel associations.

• Key: Microtubules as quantum processors.
• Collapse: Gravity-induced, avoiding decoherence.
• Dreams: Quantum influences subconscious imagery/emotions.
