Totally agree. Penrose OR is the fundamental process to which Schrödinger referred. OR was present in the early universe before life began. Polyaromatic hydrocarbons from stars were plentiful, coupled, oscillated and had OR moments including pleasure.
Life began based on this organic quantum optics and developed as a vehicle for consciousness, as written in ancient Indian writings.
