One fermion is the particle whose companion is the antiparticle. An ensemble of these fermions coupled in pairs represents the Bose-Einstein condensate. This condensate forms the superfluid ether. Due to the Meissner effect inherent in a superfluid medium, the paired fermions are inaccessible for instrument observation. For that reason, the ghost particles can pose the dark matter that, together with the dark energy, can be the fundamental basis of physical reality. In the article, we consider this item through the prism of the Dirac equation stemming from the superfluid quantum ether. The latter is the inherent ubiquitous parent of fermion particle-antiparticle pairs. 83F05 Relativistic cosmology 83C55 Macroscopic interaction of the gravitational field with matter (hydrodynamics, etc.) 15A66 Clifford algebras, spinors 81T20 Quantum field theory on curved space or space-time backgrounds 53C27 Spin and Spin c geometry
The Edge of Chaos Is That Where Consciousness Manifests Itself through Intermittent Dynamics

A set of lingua quanta composes a thesaurus placed on the edge of chaos. Its library is a memory, modification of which is due to tuning of memristive neural elements scattered in the brain volume. The memristive neural model considers two types of neurons, excitatory and inhibitory, and current leakage at body temperature (T = 310 K). At such temperatures, only heavy ions, such as hydrogen ions (protons), can pass robustly through the water medium of the brain. Robust ion transport involves proton water wires supported by the Grotthuss mech- anism. The final aims of the ions are the gap junctions (electric synapses) linking the nearest neurons. Following these observations, a model of excitable nervous tissue was constructed. One-to-one mapping written on the basis of sigmoid curves is capable of reproducing chaotic modes of neural activity, as proved by positive values of the Lyapunov exponent. The edge of chaos is located near the bifurcation boundary dividing chaos and the periodic convulsive activity typical of epileptic discharges. In this region, self-sustained spiral waves occur. Intermittent activity of competing excitatory and inhibitory neurons is observed at the edge of chaos. The intermittent electrical activity of neural tissues is shown by records both from different literature issues and records made by the author and Dr. A. Dudkin on slices of the CA1 field of the hippocampus.

Hydrodynamical aspect of the physical vacuum

The motion of this cold superfluid quantum medium can be described in the non-relativistic limit by a pair of equations-the Navier-Stokes equation and the continuity equation. However, the first equation describes the motion of a classical viscous fluid. We need to modify this equation. The modifications concern the pressure gradient, nabla P, and the term incorporating the viscosity of the fluid. The modification of the pressure gradient (nabla P → nabla P - P nabla ln(rho_м)) leads to the appearance of the quantum potential, Q, equal to the pressure divided by the density distribution rho, namely, Q = P/rho. As a result, the above-mentioned pair of equations leads to the Schrödinger equation when defining the wave function in the polar form bearing information about the velocity field of the fluid and the mass density distribution, rho_м. From the above, it follows that the wave function is a real object evolving in superfluid quantum space. Because of the reflection from any obstacles, like slits in a grating, the wave function creates an interference pattern near a moving particle. As a result, the interference fringes provide an optimal path for the subsequent movement of the particle. It proves that the interpretation of quantum mechanics given by de Broglie and further developed by Bohm is the correct interpretation. As for the modification of the viscosity, it would seem that, in the first approximation, we could discard it. This is not a good idea. We believe that the viscosity averaged over time is zero, but its variance is not.

Measurement of the distribution of trapped flux in a Josephson-coupled medium by neutron polarimetry
Physica C: Superconductivity, 1994

Information about the Josephson screening currents is extracted from these patterns for fields smaller than the lower critical field of the grains. Dependences of the screening currents with respect to the internal field B near the sample boundary and in its depth are distinguished from one another for field levels lying below a certain field. The maximum values of screening current densities correspond to critical current densities. They depend linearly on the field B. A zero-field critical density J0 and a characteristic length scale of the trapped flux are extracted from this dependence. The quantities of the above-mentioned parameters at 60 K are ~ 70 A/cm2 and 200-600 mum, respectively.

The spikes contribute to the inner state of the neuron the farther from cell soma the synapses are located. The difference between excitatory and inhibitory effect results in spike firing if only neural firing threshold is achieved. The values of spike flux have been estimated on the basis of the model of CA3 sector of the Hippocampus and were found to be 15 divided by 35 imp/s.

The given back inhibition via inhibitory interneurons presents a negative feedback loop due to which oscillations in the model system are realized. By means of variation of parameters of the system the patterns of stochastic oscillations can be changed in wide range of physiologically meaningful patterns of the neuronal activity.

The science we have called Sentiomics studies unconscious dynamic patterns in the brain that define the capacity for feeling. This paper discusses the explanation of creative processes based on unconscious patterns that combine and constructively interfere, generating a conscious output experienced in the living system's first-person perspective. We claim that the Sentiomics approach to wave interferences helps to explain creative intuition, artistic creativity, the formation of dreams, and related phenomena. We raise a hypothesis – based on available evidence, to be experimentally tested – that the dominance of slower synchronized oscillatory frequencies (such as Delta, T...

Owing to these modifications, the Navier-Stokes equation can be reduced to the Schrödinger equation describing behavior of a particle into the vacuum, where the vacuum is a superfluid medium. Vortex structures arising in this medium show infinitely long life owing to zero average viscosity. The nonzero variance describes exchange of the vortex energy with zero-point energy of the vacuum. Radius of the vortex trembles around some average value. This observation sheds the light to the Zitterbewegung phenomenon. The vortex has a non-zero core where the vortex velocity vanishes. Its organization is discussed with the point of view of the Calabi-Yau manifold.

(the problem was formulated by Drs. O. S. Vinogradova and A. G. Bragin). The analysis of neuron activity has been carried out on the basis of "point approximation" of spikes transport equations. The graphs were obtained by computer. These graphs of the postsynaptic potentials averaged over ensemble are in good agreement with experimental data. The model observed demonstrates the phase transition over parameter characterizing the conduction of excitation between pyramidal cells. For weak pyramidal cells link there takes place the spontaneous activity regime. For strong link there were observed the epileptoid firing of neurons at 3 divided by 5 hertz and 140 divided by 240 msec phases of inhibition between bursts.
Biophysics of Consciousness: A Scale-Invariant Acoustic Information Code of a Superfluid Quantum Space Guides the Mental Attribute of the Universe
Rhythmic Oscillations in Proteins to Human Cognition, 2020

Meta-analyses of current biomedical literature revealed the presence of a distinct pattern of discrete EMF frequency bands in a wide range of animate and non-animate systems. The underlying algorithm of harmonic solitonic waves provided a novel conceptual interface between living and non-living systems being of relevance for the areas of brain research as well as biological evolution. We hold that nature is guided by resonating quantum entities related to quantum vacuum fluctuations of an imminent zero-point energy (ZPE) field, also regarded as a superfluid quantum space (SQS). Since the whole human organism, including the brain, is embedded in this dynamic energy field, a pilot wave guided supervenience of brain function is conceived. Conversely, the brain may write discrete informational states into the ZPE-field as individual memory traces. Both information fluxes may be related to a holofractal memory workspace, associated with, but not reducible to the brain, that operates as a scale-invariant mental attribute of reality. Our concept, therefore, addresses the earlier postulated "hard problem" in consciousness studies. The proposed field-receptive workspace, integrates past and (anticipated) future events and may explain overall ultra-rapid brain responses as well as the origin of qualia. Information processing in the brain is shown to be largely facilitated by propagation of hydronium (proton/water) ions in aqueous compartments. The

We analyze the relationship between intrinsic pressure of SQS (dark energy's repulsive force) and gravity, described as an inflow of dark energy into massive particles, causing a negative pressure gradient around massive bodies. Since no superfluid has exact zero viscosity, we analyze the consequences of SQS's viscosity on light propagation, and we show that a static Universe could be possible, by solving a modified Navier-Stokes equation. Indeed, Hubble's law may actually refer to tired light, though described as energy loss due to SQS's nonzero viscosity instead of Compton scattering, bypassing known historical problems concerning tired light. We see that SQS's viscosity may also account for the Pioneer anomaly. Our evaluation gives a magnitude of the anomalous acceleration a P = ÀH Λ c = À8.785 10 À10 ms À2. Here, H Λ is the Hubble parameter loaded by the cosmological constant Λ. Furthermore, the vorticity equation stemming from the modified Navier-Stokes equation gives a solution for flat profile of the orbital speed of spiral galaxies and discloses what one might call a breathing of galaxies due to energy exchange between the galactic vortex and dark energy.

Solutions disclose existence of the Gaussian vortex clouds, the coherent vortices with infinite life-time, what can be a manifestation of the dark matter. The solutions also disclose what we might call a breathing of the galaxies - due to an exchange of the vortex energy with zero-point fluctuations in the vacuum. .

They are caused by the formation of vortices in the vacuum because of self-organization a giant number of fluctuating ’particle-antiparticle’ pairs rotating around their common center of mass of such a pair. These vortices can transmit torque from one spinning disk to another initially immobile. Also, this torque can be responsible for the flat dependence of the orbital velocities of the spiral galaxies, instead the notorious dark matter. The Navier-Stokes equations, with slightly modified internal forces (the pressure gradient and the fluctuating viscosity in the superfluid vacuum medium), give a clear picture of the formation of such vortices.

Information processing in the brain is shown to be largely facilitated by propagation of hydronium (proton/water)-ions in aqueous compartments. The hydronium ions move freely within a hexagonally organized H2O lattice, providing a superconductive integral brain antenna for receiving solitonic wave information. A nonlinear Schrödinger equation describes the quantum aspects of the transfer of wave information mediated by H+ and Ca2+ ion flux over long distances at cerebrospinal, inter-neuronal and gap junction spaces. The latter processes enable ultra-rapid soliton/biophoton fluxes that may orchestrate overall brain binding and the creation of coherent conscious states. In a cosmological context, we envision a scale invariant information pro...

Its motion is described by the modified Navier-Stokes equation: (a) the pressure gradient divided by the mass density is replaced by the gradient from the quantum potential; (b) time-averaged the viscosity vanishes, but its variance is not zero. Vortex structures arising in this medium show infinitely long lifetime owing to zero average viscosity. The nonzero variance is conditioned by exchanging the vortex energy with zero-point vacuum fluctuations. The vortex has a non-zero core where the orbital speed vanishes. The speed reaches a maximal value on the core wall and further it decreases monotonically. The vortex trembles around some average value and possesses by infinite life time. The vortex ball resulting from topological transformation of the vortex ring is considered as a model of a particle with spin. Anomalous magnetic moment of electron is computed.

The functioning of the basket cell has been described by a point approximation method forthe transport equation, and that of the ensemble of pyramidal cells by a diffusion approximation one. Furthermore, the area of tissue is broken up into N2 of "cells" wherein a transition is effected from the diffusion equation of the N2 of the point equations involved. If the sizes of "cells" are commeasurable to the diffusional length of the pyramidal cell collaterals each "cells" being relatively independent generator of activity. In the latter case the fundamental interaction type is the mutual negative influence of the "cells" through the basket cell. Should the area be broken up into further, the mutual influence of the "cells" becomes noticeable and cannot be neglected. The behaviour of spatially homogenous diffusion approximation model is eq...
