Thermocoherent Cognitive Dynamics Framework
Model the physical basis of information flow in neural matter using a multiscale
resource-theoretical framework based on the thermocoherent effect.
Core Principle
Heat flow is reciprocally coupled to a delocalized information flow carried by
shared coherence — not reducible to local subsystem variables.
Relational Resources in Neural Tissue
Correlations act as usable physical resources hidden from local descriptions:
| Resource Type | Role in Neural Matter |
|---|
| Quantum entanglement | Cross-scale coordination substrate |
| Quantum discord | Non-classical signaling advantage |
| Classical correlations | Coarse-grained neural dynamics |
Plausible Substrate Classes
Relational resources may arise in:
- Ion-channel interfaces — transduction of electrical to relational resources
- Hydrogen-bonded proton networks — coherent proton transfer pathways
- Aromatic π-electron architectures — delocalized electronic coherence
- Phosphate-rich motifs — energy-carrying correlation structures
Operational Framework
- Identify interaction geometry of the neural system
- Determine dynamical accessibility of correlations under that geometry
- Map transport processes (electrical, chemical, ionic, thermal) to resource generation
- Track coarse-grained signatures in neural dynamics
- Test for thermocoherent organization across spatial/spatiotemporal partitions
Key Distinctions
- NOT a claim of macroscopic quantum cognition
- NOT a reduction of cognition to abstract coding
- IS a falsifiable framework: microscopic relational resources bias transport,
relaxation, signaling, and cross-scale coordination
Correlation-Enabled Mpemba Effect
Correlations can enable counterintuitive thermal relaxation where hotter systems
cool faster — this may play a role in neural state transitions.
Today's Findings (2026-05-11)
From arXiv:2604.04069v2 — this paper establishes that:
- Operational relevance of correlations depends on dynamical accessibility, not taxonomy
- Single composite system's relational structure acts as usable physical resource
- Environmental coupling makes resources transiently accessible
- Framework bridges microscopic quantum effects to macroscopic neural coordination
