How is that related? QM is a computational theory to explain substrate dynamics. It does not open the door to magic.

Individual (pyramidal) neurons: soma with buncha dendrites. Sodium & Potassium minute electrochemical fluctuations (Post Synaptic Potentials) which, in right conditions, trigger a SPIKE. Pow. Lightbulb.

Spike along axon (special dendrite). Spike from pre-synaptic bouton TO post synaptic bouton - I wanna know if Casimir effect could be theoretically observable between em.

If you say “magic just means 9 out of 10 people don’t know what just happened”, I’ll say “abracadabra”.

Magic means that the ground truth of our universe involves symbolic instead of mechanical transitions (symbolic as in: causal relationship between sacrificing a goat and winning the lottery). Mechanical transitions are computational, with a causally closed substrate.

Ah. Well. “Winning the lottery” may have been a poorly translated metaphor. As was the concept of “sacrifice”, I suspect.
