Abstract

Definitions for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) terminology within the context of quantum biology (QB) have recently been proposed. These definitions aim to elucidate concepts such as qi meridians in TCM. Our study presents a hypothesis that seeks to provide an operational definition for Spirit (Shen) and Bright Spirit (Shen Ming) in TCM via a scoping review. We propose that Shen represents physical, phenomenological proto-consciousness/consciousness in the forms of computation, such as singular particles/bits/qubits, computers, organisms, or computational strategies, whereas Shen Ming may refer to emergent, quasi-physical meta-proto-consciousness/consciousness formed by coherent relationships of multiple orchestrated/integrated units of computation; manifesting itself as integrations of multiple bits, qubits, computers, organisms, or strategies. We posit that multi-computational strategies are likely utilized within QB systems, which we operationally define as hybrid quantum computation (HQC). The primary objective of this scoping review is to comprehensively discuss a hypothetical structure of HQC in QB systems, thereby offering a validation of TCM terms such as Shen and Shen Ming from several ontological perspectives. Additionally, our research hypothesizes that aspects of Shen and Shen Ming could be partially characterized by Fault Tolerant Topological Quantum Computation (FTTQC) in QB systems, which involves the utilization of exotic particles known as anyons.
