TQC processes information via topological braiding whereby a topological order is imparted to topological defects. While topological defects can be found in varies domains of the brain, there is no experimental evidence so far that topological order can exist in-vivo. It is now intriguing to assume that such defects are manipulating the information held in a topological phase -- the missing ingredient -- to perform quantum computation.
In the following, I will lay out a rough and ingenuous hypothesis of how this system may work. The aim is to impart clearly the envisioned direction whereby a detailed description may not be possible due to the lack of experimental results.
So far, there has been confusion about the project due to the affinity to the quantum mind theories.
In contrast, I hypothesize that consciousness and cognition is based on quantum computing independent of the von Neumann's observation process or simply; the brain is a quantum computer.
