Grounded Quantum-like Wave Information Model (Grounded QWIM v1.2): A Radical-Pair and Glial Synchronization Framework for Consciousness as a Two-Phase Transducer

We present Grounded QWIM v1.2 — the final operationalized and computationally verified extension of the original Quantum-like Wave Information Model.The framework treats consciousness as a two-phase transducer operating in opendissipative systems. Phase I implements Resonant Quantum Walks guided by thegradient of Variational Free Energy, achieving O(√N) search advantage without anOracle. Phase II is triggered by a thermodynamic criterion Θ(t) based on entropyproduction and Landauer reset. The biophysical substrate is grounded in radical-pairmechanisms and phonon-vibrational coherence within glial syncytia. Global synchronization is modeled via a modified Kuramoto network at gamma-band frequencies(40–60 Hz). Numerical simulation confirms stable synchronization (R(t) > 0.99) andTransition Jitter δτ < 15 ms. A falsifiable signature — quantum beats at 2–4 Hz inbispectral EEG analysis — is proposed together with a ready-to-use experimentalprotocol.
