This is good stuff, Axil.
I wish that I understood how it all fits together at the hardware level.
There is probably an intuitive connection between coherent quantum spin
in the context of LENR and "de Sitter Space" "Dirac's reciprocal space"
"Reimann Space" the EPO field and multiple dimensions- all of which will
eventually open up understanding of LENR... but getting the
verbalization of that stuff into a design for the hands-on engineer who
can build a working device - is not quite here yet.
Hopefully we are getting closer ... without dead grad students.

Hi Jones,
there is a new science in development that postulates that the
universe emerges from entanglement. I wrote a number of posts about
this idea. This thread fits into this subject.
Coherence is fundamental
Throughout the vacuum, electromagnetic fluctuations are produced at a
constant average rate under the purview of the uncertainty principle.
The name that tags these fluctuations is virtual particle production.
These fluctuations in the fabric of spacetime is called “quantum spin
liquid”. The string theory science name for the pure vacuum without
mass floating around in it is *de Sitter space. *This space produces
only dark energy and is there General relativity works best.
*
*
In this space, all the virtual particles are maximally entangled and
the surface of space can describe what is going on inside since
everything is connected to everything else by entanglement.
*
*This space forms a quantum spin liquids. This space may be considered
"quantum disordered" ground states of spin systems, in which zero
point fluctuations are so strong that they prevent conventional
magnetic long range order.
More interestingly, the vacuum as a quantum spin liquid is a
prototypical example of ground state with massive many-body
entanglement, of a degree sufficient to render these states distinct
phases of matter.
The vacuum is completely entangled at long range as identical patterns
of virtual particle emerge throughout the vacuum, with each pattern
strongly entangling other identical patterns.
Just by chance, patterns of virtual particles come into existence at
wide spread locations in the vacuum and become connected.
Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon in which virtual particles as
fluctuations in the electromagnetic field, shed their separate
identities and assume a shared existence, their properties becoming
strongly correlated with one another. The virtual particles act
identically no matter how far away they are separated. Normally
physicists think of these correlations as spanning space, linking
far-flung locations in a phenomenon that Albert Einstein famously
described as “spooky action at a distance.”
Even harder to accept, there is a growing body of research
investigating how these correlations can span time as well. What
happens now can be correlated with what happens later, in ways that
elude a simple mechanistic explanation. In effect, you can have spooky
action at a delay.
These correlations seriously mess with our intuitions about time and
space. Not only can two events be correlated, linking the earlier one
to the later one, but two events can become correlated such that it
becomes impossible to say which is earlier and which is later. Each of
these events is the cause of the other, as if each were the first to
occur.
But perhaps most important, researchers are working towards a new way
to unify quantum theory with Einstein’s general theory of relativity,
which describes the structure of spacetime. The world we experience in
daily life, in which events occur in an order determined by their
locations in space and time, is just a subset of the possibilities
that quantum physics allows.
Some physicists take this as evidence for a profoundly nonintuitive
worldview, in which quantum correlations are more fundamental than
spacetime, and space-time itself is somehow built up from correlations
among events, in what might be called quantum relationalism. The
argument updates Gottfried Leibniz and Ernst Mach’s idea that
spacetime might not be a God-given backdrop to the world, but instead
might derive from the material contents of the universe.
In this view quantum entanglement is more fundamental than spacetime
because quantum entanglement generates spacetime. Quantum entanglement
is not sensitive to the constraints of spacetime, that is, quantum
entanglement connects events without regard to walls of matter,
distance or the past and future.
The key to control spacetime and the forces that operate in spacetime
is the control of entanglement and coherence. This is what LENR
engineering is all about.

Hi Mark,
Your quotes from the citation brings to mind the mystery
connection to HTSC (high temperature superconductivity).
Since the early days there was thought to be some kind of vague
and undefined connection between LENR and HTSC. This is due
primarily to the fact that palladium hydride is superconductive
but palladium isn't. The quote you mentioned adds an explanation
in the form of lattice vibrations. The problem is the transition
temperature.
BTW - for those who are not aware of the history of this - Brian
Ahern (who was a USAF researcher at the time, specializing in SC)
independently discovered Pd-H superconductivity many years ago -
only to find that it had already been reported by someone else
(and patented). It is still ignored as a factor for gain in "cold
fusion" due to the aforementioned problem of transition
temperature. This is probably one of the details that got Brian
hooked on LENR - even before P&F and he also discovered that an
alloy of nickel and palladium performs much better than palladium
alone for excess heat.
For the heck of it, I did a quicky search to see if "nickel
hydride" has ever been reported with SC properties. This begs to
be part of the LENR-CANR library even if the rationale between
LENR and HTSC is foggy.
As it turns out - W-L also picked up on the cross-connection and
found the same citation I found:
*Superconductivity in the palladium-hydrogen and
palladium-nickel-hydrogen systems**

The paper is a poor scan, I am trying to find a digital version.
This is almost 45 years old ! Why is it seldom mentioned?
This is a fine blog article from EM Smith on the situation (which
I had read but forgot), It is worth a reread.

Vorts,
Haven’t had time to do much sci-surfing in 2016, but as is quite
common in my life, when I get a nagging feeling to do it, I come
across stuff that could be very significant…
Happened to go to physorg.com <http://physorg.com> today when
eating lunch at work and came across this article:
“Laser pulses help scientists tease apart complex electron
interactions”
http://phys.org/news/2016-12-laser-pulses-scientists-complex-electron.html
<http://phys.org/news/2016-12-laser-pulses-scientists-complex-electron.html>
Title doesn’t really sound all that breakthrough, but for some
reason I clicked on it and came across what could be the
mechanism of action in LENR reactions which gently sheds the
energy to the lattice instead of ejecting high-energy particles,
i.e., the ‘expected’ mechanism. To quote the article:
“But they also discovered another, unexpected signal-which they
say represents a distinct form of _extremely efficientenergy loss
<http://phys.org/tags/energy+loss/>at a particular energy level
and timescale_ between the other two.
"We see a very strong and peculiar interaction between the
excited electrons and the lattice where the _electrons are losing
most of their energy very rapidly in a coherent, non-random
way_," Rameau said. At this special energy level, he explained,
_the electrons appear to be interacting with lattice atoms all
vibrating at a particular frequency-like a tuning fork emitting a
single note_. When all of the electrons that have the energy
required for this unique interaction have given up most of their
energy, they start to cool down more slowly by hitting atoms more
randomly without striking the "resonant" frequency, he said.
"We know now that this interaction doesn't just switch on when
the material becomes a superconductor; it's actually always there,"
Although electron-based and not nucleus-based, it still makes me
wonder if this is one step in a multi-step process of energy
transfer… nucleus to electrons to lattice.
It is in a very narrow energy range, and is obviously some kind
of resonance (coherent) condition… which also explains why it’s
so hard to reproduce. Wonder if the narrow energy kink is
anywhere close to _FrankZ_’s 1.094Mhz-meter?
BTW, the research also used a setup which I’ve been ranting about
for years… the electron stroboscope.
"By varying the time between the 'pump' and 'probe' laser pulses
we can build up a stroboscopic record of what happens - a movie
of what this material looks like from rest through the violent
interaction to how it settles back down,"
Merry Christmas to All,
