Lagrange points and consciousness?

I received a highly interesting email from a person with the signature "Larry". It contained a lot of links to topics related to plasmoids. I have been talking for a couple of decades about plasmoids as primitive life forms preceding biological life. Ball lightning and "UFO"s would be plasmoids in the TGD framework. The empirical findings of NASA in the ionosphere provide support for the notion (see this). TGD strongly suggests a universal representation of genetic code (see for instance this and this). Even plasmoids could have this universal genetic code.

The mail told about Kordylewski Plasma clouds appearing at two opposite sides of the Moon at the Lagrange points (see this) for the Moon-Earth gravitational field which are stationary and therefore minima of the gradient of the effective potential characterizing gravitational potential plus effective centrifugal force. There are 5 Lagrange points in any system involving a small mass in the gravitational field of two massive bodies with a sufficiently large mass ratio. Two of them are along the line connecting the massive bodies at opposite sides of the larger body. Small objects can form stationary orbits around the stable Lagrange points: Trojan asteroids are such objects. The properties of Lagrange points make them very special in the space technology.

I have not thought about Lagrange points in the TGD context earlier but Kordylewski Plasma clouds (this) associated with the Moon look forces this. The gravitational magnetic bodies of the Sun, Earth and Moon (at least them) and carrying dark phases of ordinary matter are key objects TGD inspired theory of quantum biology and consciousness. These field bodies consist of U-shaped monopole flux tubes forming kinds of tentacable and would control our biological body.

Our own personal field/magnetic bodies would be in contact with these gravitational field bodies also with each other: this would make possible the generation quantum entanglement (see for instance this). Because of the higher level of cognitive consciousness measured by the values gravitational and electric Planck constants, these life forms have a higher level of cognition: some people might even speak of "soul".

Both dark ions and ordinary matter in the plasma phase could form stationary gravitationally bound states around Lagrange points. I have proposed plasma life to be a predecessor of ordinary life. It could reside around Lagrange points. Could the Lagrange points for the Earth-Sun and Moon-Earth system be of special interest: could our gravitomagnetic "souls" reside there? Could one speak of "souls" assignable to the Lagrange points of the Earth-Sun and Earth-Moon system? Is this assignment either-or or are both components present in our gravitomagnetic body. Can either of these modes dominate some aspects of our behavior and conscious experience? What could distinguish between them? I must admit that I have difficulties to avoid the association to male-female dichotomy in this context.

During solar eclipses, the Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun system are along the same line. Could something strange happen then: could this relate to Allais anomaly (see this)? Does something special happen during the full Moon when the Earth is between Sun and Moon and the Moon has a solar eclipse?

See the article A possible TGD based narrative for how life might have evolved or the chapter with the same title.

Could the "4-ghost" discovered at LHC provide support for the holography = holomorphy principle of TGD

A 4-D resonant magnetic anomaly, called "4- ghost" has been discovered at LHC (see this). There is article about the finding in Nature Physics (see this").

The popular article describes the finding as follows.

The Ghost," has been detected within the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most advanced particle research facility. It is disrupting particle paths in a way that current physics models cannot explain. The force is producing measurable, reproducible disruptions that challenge our fundamental understanding of reality.

This does not tell much. H. Bartosik, G. Franchetti & F. Schmidt have published an article with title "Observation of fixed lines induced by a nonlinear resonance in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron" in Nature Physics. The abstract of the article allows to get some idea of the mysterious 4-D force.

The motion of systems with linear restoring forces and recurring nonlinear perturbations is of central importance in physics. When a system’s natural oscillation frequencies and the frequency of the nonlinear restoring forces satisfy certain algebraic relations, the dynamics become resonant.

In accelerator physics, an understanding of resonances and nonlinear dynamics is crucial for avoiding the loss of beam particles. Here we confirm the theoretical prediction of the dynamics for a single two-dimensional coupled resonance by observing so-called fixed lines.

Specifically, we use the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron to measure the position of a particle beam at discrete locations around the accelerator. These measurements allow us to construct the Poincaré surface of section, which captures the main features of the dynamics in a periodic system.

In our setting, any resonant particle passing through the Poincaré surface of section lies on a curve embedded in a four-dimensional phase space, the fixed line. These findings are relevant for mitigating beam degradation and thus for achieving high-intensity and high-brightness beams, as required for both current and future accelerator projects.

The popular article suggests new exotic physics and the Nature article suggests that standard physics is enough to understand the findings. Which source you should believe? This question emerges repeatedly during the period of science hype. The best answer is "Do not believe either source: think by yourself!".

In the TGD framework, one can ask whether the the finding could provide support for the slightly non-deterministic holography = holomorphy principle defining the basic dynamical principle of TGD (see for instance this and this). In TGD, space-time surfaces in 8-D M4×CP2 as analogs of Bohr orbits for 3-D particles replace string world sheets of string models. Holography = holomorphy principle allows to solve field equations explicitly and reduce them to algebraic equations at the fundamental level at which the general relativistic space-time is replaced with space-time surfaces which quite concretely correspond to what we see around us.

The solutions of field equations are slightly non-deterministic and analogous to 4-D minimal surfaces. Already 2-D minimal surfaces (soap films) are slightly non-deterministic: sevel of them are spanned by the same frame.

This leads to a profound revision of the construction of scattering amplitudes (see this, this, this, this). There is no path integral and associated divergences. The motion of the 3-surfaces representing holographic data can be regarded as an analog of Brownian motion in H=M4×CP2 and the edges of the Brownian curve define the counterparts of vertices.

Concerning the strange 4-D force: magnetic monopole flux tubes are key entities of the TGD Universe in all scales and magnetic fields are involved in these experiments. Could the discrete non-deterministic degrees of freedom make the basic system effectively 4-D and give rise to the mysterious 4-D force. Ironically, this mysterious 4-D force makes possible non-trivial scattering amplitudes in the TGD universe but only in space-time dimension D=4.

See for instance the article TGD counterpart of Feynman diagrammatics with application to QFT limit and CP violation.
