Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory (Orch OR Theory)

Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory (Orch OR Theory) (Roger Penrose, Stuart Hameroff, 1990) – the suggestion that consciousness begins at the quantum level inside neurons (as opposed to emerging in the complex interactions among neurons). The core process, “objective reduction,” is posited to occur in microtubules, where quantum superpositions (i.e., multiple possible state) collapse (“reduce”) into single states.
