Nervous Tissue as Necrostasis

Nervous tissue is a late development in biology. Cells in simpler organisms have always enjoyed membrane potentials and gap junctions to share voltages. Nervous tissue gives large organisms a way to transmit voltage information over much greater distances.

Nervous tissue, which in some ways resembles bone, is strongly limited in terms of regeneration and movement. To coin a new usage, it could be called necrostatic. It is biological tissue with similarities to the organization of the parallel component in starlight, which likewise constitutes the consciousness and abode of the recently dead.

Stuart Hameroff argues for a multi-scaled vibratory intracellular architecture in nervous tissue. He thinks standing vibrations propagate self-similarly from the quantum scale in organized aromatic rings, which communicate the fundamental scale of space-time itself, resonantly up and across twelve orders of magnitude, into unanaethetized membrane voltages, through the parallel architecture of neuronal tubulin, as consciousness.

Stuart thinks these parallel, intracellular, tubulin-dependent resonances work in all cells and tissues and as such are responsible for biology, life and consciousness in general. Anthropic consciousness (our particular consciousness) in and by means of our special biological case of necrostatic architecture is peculiar to the scale and adaptations made possible by the biology of our nervous fibers.
