The state
Working pages from the current line of the research. Each one is a single claim with the real numbers attached, in the order a cold reader can follow. They are written to be understandable before they are written to be published.
-
01
One qubit from two electrodes Four seconds of EEG from two occipital electrodes, turned into a mixed quantum state, loaded onto a qubit by purification, and read back.
-
02
The E/I unit on a pattern pair One excitatory/inhibitory unit acting on the two dominant patterns of an 8-channel state. Two knobs, and what each does to purity.

03
The field’s prediction, within a seizure Purifiers should be monotonic, mixers should not. Not yet run.
Sequence so far
- state prepared at 2, 4 and 8 channels (1+1, 2+2, 3+3 qubits) — exact to machine precision
- linear observables read back within shot noise at every size
- eigenvalues read from the ancilla for free; purity and entropy follow
- E/I unit: coupling alone cannot change purity; gain asymmetry can
