Gerald, thanks very much for your note … and for taking the time to read an unfortunately-dense introduction! I will send you a proper response soon. Meanwhile, no, my idea is not related to Hameroff-Penrose, a materialist theory. That is, I do not think microtubules (MT’s) create moments of consciousness. According to my idea, their activity is important only for the transfer of information between mind (abstract) and brain (material).
