Reduction time \\( T \\approx \\frac{\\hbar}{E_G} \\approx \\frac{2\\hbar r}{G m^2} \\). Microtubule tubulin dimers are proposed as quantum bits with superposition separation \\(\\Delta z \\sim 1\\,\\text{nm}\\), giving \\( E_G \\sim 10^{-13}\\,\\text{eV} \\) and \\( T \\sim 10^{-1}\\,\\text{s} \\) — near the 40 Hz gamma synchrony period (~25 ms). No Fibonacci ratio appears in the published equations. | CONNECTION: Indirect — Penrose's OR criterion uses Planck-scale quantum gravity, which in loop quantum gravity a\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
