Exciting news!
Happy to share our latest preprint proposing a unified, empirically testable framework for Quantum Coherence in Neural Microtubules.
For years, critics said the brain is too "warm, wet, and noisy" for quantum biology. We resolve these quantitative gaps by showing how quantum coherence inside microtubules can scale up to drive network-level neural synchronization.
Key highlights from the framework:
The Mechanism: Quantum-enabled coherence modulates ion channel gating, directly boosting Gamma Precision (40 Hz).
The Results: Computational models show a massive spike in phase-locking value (0.74 Spike PLV vs. 0.41 in classical models).
Four Mechanisms: We detail how non-Markovian dynamics, cooperative gating, lattice geometry, and phase-coherent accumulation extend coherence time into the millisecond range (~165–500 ns).
Empirically Testable: We propose a rigorous experimental design using simultaneous NV-Center Quantum Sensing + High-Density Electrophysiology.
This framework bridges the gap between nanoscale quantum biology and macroscale neuroscience, offering a falsifiable path forward.

Your brain hums at 40 beats per second My new paper proposes something wild: tiny structures inside your neurons microtubules may hold quantum coherence that keeps that rhythm precise.

For over two centuries, witnesses have reported glowing spheres drifting after lightning strikes and no theory fully explained them.
In my new preprint, I propose ball lightning is a dusty plasma spheromak: lightning vaporizes soil into silicon nanoparticles, which burn as chemical fuel while a self-organized magnetic structure (the spheromak) holds everything together. It solves the two half-problems at once fuel and container.
The best part? It makes three testable predictions:
Silicon emission at 634.7 nm
A fading magnetic dipole fingerprint
A thermal microwave glow
Catch all three together, and we'll know what ball lightning really is.

Perry is a self-taught independent from Arkansas who has released many detailed theoretical preprints since 2025 on ball lightning, quantum microtubules, information geometry and related topics. His standing is early-stage: high SSRN visibility but limited external citations and no confirmed peer-reviewed journal papers. Relative to most independents, the output volume, quantitative constraints, and explicit experimental roadmaps stand out, especially the synthesis of silicon nanoparticle oxidation with spheromak confinement.
Anthony L. Perry's preprint develops a tropical geometry framework for steady-state varieties in mass-action biochemical networks. It proves log-scaled convergence to a tropical polyhedral complex under scale separation and a duality linking Newton polytope normal fans to dominant reaction subnetworks (phenotypes). Case studies on branch points and glycolysis identify regimes and switching manifolds with quantified errors.
As a non-peer-reviewed independent work, it extends prior tropical CRN methods (mainly dynamical reduction) toward static topology and robustness analysis. Potential impacts include scalable phenotype mapping in genome-scale models if theorems and numerics hold under independent scrutiny.
