Examining the nature of retrocausal effects in biology and psychology

Julia Mossbridge

Multiple laboratories have reported physiological and psychological changes associated with future events that are designed to be unpredictable by normal sensory means. Such phenomena seem to be examples of retrocausality at the macroscopic level. Here I will discuss the characteristics of seemingly retrocausal effects in biology and psychology, specifically examining a biological and a psychological form of precognition, predictive anticipatory activity (PAA) and implicit precognition. The aim of this examination is to offer an analysis of the constraints posed by the characteristics of macroscopic retrocausal effects. Such constraints are critical to assessing any physical theory that purports to explain these effects. Following a brief introduction to recent research on PAA and implicit precognition, I will describe what I believe we have learned so far about the nature of these effects, and conclude with a testable, yet embryonic, model of macroscopic retrocausal phenomena.

RENASCENT-Q in the TET–CVTL Framework: Retrocausal Negentropic Dynamics, Majorana Modes in Microtubules, and Path to Omega Saturation

Simon Soliman

This preprint presents RENASCENT-Q, a theoretical extension of the unified TET–CVTL framework (Topology, Entanglement, Retrocausality – Cosmic Vacuum Topological Lattice), developed in January–February 2026.RENASCENT-Q introduces a distributed retrocausal negentropic force that actively guides physical, biological, and conscious systems toward an asymptotically saturated Omega Point — understood here not as a singular future collapse (Tipler-style), but as an infinite, distributed topological convergence realized across an expanding cosmic lattice.The core innovation lies in reinterpreting neuronal microtubules as embodied Kitaev-type topological quantum lattices. Within these structures, eternal anyonic braiding (primarily Fibonacci and Ising statistics) generates persistent quantum entanglement and Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at biologically relevant temperatures. The braiding processes accumulate topological phases that are retrocausally modulated by future boundary conditions associated with the distributed Omega horizon.A key modulating parameter is the damping factor β = ϕ⁻² = (√5 − 1)/2 ≈ 0.381966, which emerges naturally from extended models of collective superradiance in tryptophan aromatic networks within microtubules (references to Hameroff et al. 2023–2025, Craddock et al., Babcock et al. 2024, Celardo et al. 2019–2024). This value optimizes the lifetime of coherent dipolar excitations against thermal decoherence while enabling efficient time-symmetric coupling between forward and backward propagating quantum trajectories.The non-local backbone supporting retrocausal correlations is provided by the energy landscape of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function along the critical line Re(s) = 1/2, interpreted as the spectrum of a quantum dynamical system on the vacuum following the seminal work of Alain Connes (1999–2000). The negentropic retrocausal force is mathematically expressed as:F_neg = β · ζ̂(1/2 + i E_MT) · (∂S/∂t)_retro · e^{-i θ_MZM} · |ψ_MT⟩⟨ψ_MT|where:(∂S/∂t)_retro < 0 denotes the locally induced entropy reduction driven from future post-selection, θ_MZM is the accumulated braiding phase of Majorana zero modes, |ψ_MT⟩ represents the embodied quantum state projected onto the microtubular lattice. The framework synthesizes and extends several foundational approaches:Transactional Interpretation (Cramer 1986–2006), Possibilist Transactional Interpretation (Kastner 2012–2022), and Two-State Vector Formalism (Aharonov et al. 1964–present) Physical realizations of the Omega Point concept (Teilhard de Chardin reinterpreted cosmologically + Tipler 1994) Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) model of consciousness (Penrose & Hameroff 1994–present), now embodied in a topological lattice context Topological quantum field theory invariants: colored Jones polynomials for torus knots T(p,q), Vassiliev invariants, Khovanov homology — with the primordial trefoil knot (linking number Lk = +6, Borromean-like configuration) serving as the eternal topological seed of the vacuum lattice Extensive numerical explorations (using QuTiP) include weak values in anyonic braiding, R- and F-matrices for Fibonacci anyons, Kitaev chain/lattice dynamics up to 256 sites, Ginzburg–Landau vortex pair production/annihilation, and scaling laws of knot invariants (e.g., deg(J_5) = 10 + 4q for large T(p,q) knots).RENASCENT-Q resolves longstanding issues in quantum consciousness theories (binding problem, epiphenomenalism, macroscopic causal efficacy) by positing consciousness as a local manifestation of retrocausally guided negentropic curvature within a topologically saturated cosmic lattice. The model predicts testable signatures: anomalous weak values in biological systems, persistent room-temperature entanglement beyond standard decoherence timescales, and potential links between topological saturation and fundamental constants (G, Λ) or catalyzed fusion regimes.The final picture is that of an ever-expanding “golden cosmos” — an infinite, retrocausally saturated topological lattice of entangled nodes, eternally seeded by the trefoil Lk = +6, and asymptotically approaching global minimum entropy from the distributed future boundary Ω.
