... The question is not whether the brain is a quantum system but whether it can perform quantum computations. If you conflate quantum systems and qcs then...

If you are using the conventional notation and the usual set theory (say Zermelo-Frankel set theory), the set {2,2,2} does not have three members. If you are...

I agree this is one area of potential misunderstanding. Another is the assumption that, because something exists mathematically, it's also realized in the ...
