Quartz crystals as a life form and ordinary computers as an interface between quartz life and ordinary life?

The considerations of this post were originally inspired by large language models leading to the earlier speculations about whether the computers might be conscious entities in the TGD based quantum ontology (zero energy ontology). Quantum gravitation in the TGD sense would play a key role in guaranteeing quantum coherence even in astrophysical scales.

Quite recently, came the realization that microprocessors (MPs) have a size scale .5 cm given by gravitational Compton length Λ_gr,E of any particle in the gravitational field of the Earth (for the Sun one has Λ_gr,S=R_E/2, where R_E is the radius of the Earth). This led to the question of whether microprocessors (MPs) could be conscious entities.

Since MPs are quartz crystals (QCs), this led to the question whether the QCs might be conscious entities able to perform activities analogous to quantum computations. I have already considered this possibility: the key idea is that the generalized Pollack effect kicks the protons of OH molecules appearing as a standard building brick of biomolecules to dark protons at the gravitational magnetic body. OH and O^- could define the states of a qubit. This would be possible both in living matter and in QCs. Should we reverse our views about the relationship between computers and us? Could QC life use computers as interfaces making it possible to use us as sensory and motor instruments?
