How large heff states are stabilized?

The quantum critical state is unstable by definition because the h_eff> h states are more energetic than the h_eff=h states and spontaneously decay into these.

One way to avoid this would be for the h_eff> h molecule to form a bound state, for example with a molecule or a larger structure. The electric field of the larger charged structure and that in turn a state where h_eff would be stabilized. However, I do not understand the details of the mechanism. How to build a state in which h_eff> h dark protons are possible in the minimum energy state. Is this possible if only the electromagnetic interaction is involved?

This is a fundamental question. So let's start from a clean table.

1. In the case of DNA and cell membranes, h_eff stabilization is related to the presence of electric fields, but do they produce the stabilization or are they a consequence of it?

   A h_eff> h state and a state bound with another state are created so that the h_eff> h state stabilizes because the dissociation is no longer energetically favorable. It should be noted that due to their large negative charge DNA and the cell membrane are biologically completely unique. Charge separation does also occur at the level of the brain and the whole body and its sign correlates with the level of consciousness: the sign of the voltage changes during sleep. The Earth itself also has an electric field, which suggests that the biosphere is conscious.

2. In the case of DNA, the bound state would be between phosphate and deoxyribose. Would the large h_eff=h_em somehow be made possible by the longitudinal and radial electric fields of DNA or is it a consequence of a stabilization mechanism? Maintaining the electric field requires energy, so metabolic energy input is still necessary but at the level of classical fields. But do electric fields maintain dark protons at the monopole flux tubes or vice versa?

   The problem: In the case of DNA, the repulsive energy of the negative charges of the phosphates destabilizes the state. In addition, there is repulsion between the dark protons in the flux tubes. Charge separation, where the dark protons and the phosphate ions are far apart, requires energy because the neutral ground state is of minimum energy.

   The solution of the problem: Some interaction energy must compensate for the increase in interaction energy. Could strong interactions of the dark protons in the flux tubes, proposed to form dark nuclei with a scale down nuclear binding energy, be involved? The strong interaction would stabilize the repulsive energy of the negative charge of the phosphates, the same would happen for the dark protons. Long range electric field would be a consequence, not the cause.

   1. The TGD-based model of cold fusion this, this, this, and this) indeed assumes that the dark protons in the magnetic flux tubes form an analogy of the atomic nucleus and the scaled binding energy of the nucleus would produce the binding energy. Strong interactions in the TGD sense would play a key role in biology and also in electrolysis. This would be new and revolutionary.
   2. Of course, one could try to cope with just electromagnetic interactions.

      i) The negative electrostatic energy would be between the dark protons and the negative charge of the phosphates. One would expect this energy to be small, but is it for flux tubes?
      ii) What about the role of water? It can become positively charged (and for example Mg²⁺ ions do), which can produce a Coulomb bound state. Mg²⁺ ions are naturally present in monopole flux tubes, but is the contribution large enough?
      iii) The binding energy is related to the bound state between negatively charged phosphates and riboses. The problem is that ribose molecules are not permanently positively charged. This doesn't seem promising.
      

   3. In the case of the cell membrane, the electric field associated with the membrane potential should accompany large values of h_eff. A decrease in the field strength below a critical value would lead to a decrease in the value of h_em, perhaps down to h_eff=h because h_em is proportional to the field value and quantized as an integer. The scale of quantum coherence would be reduced and a nerve impulse would be generated.

      The naive Maxwellian assumption would be that a nerve impulse is generated when the voltage is too high: there would be a di-electric breakdown, just as is supposed to happen in a Tesla coil. The fact that exactly the opposite happens is a central mystery of biology. A decrease in h_em would explain the mystery. One can pose an interesting and somewhat nosy question: has it really been tested that breakdown is the correct mechanism in Tesla coils?

      Also now the strong interactions with monopole flux tubes would stabilize the state.

   4. The negative charge on the surface of the Earth's electric field and the protons and ions in the gravitational flux tubes and electric flux tubes and their strong interaction would stabilize the biosphere as a conscious system.
