If the human mind operates on a quantum-sub-universe level, this negates the possibility that any resolution of cryopreservation will be able to preserve the human mind. The nanoscale level molecules upon which tinier quantum effects occur may be preserved but the quantum effects themselves won't be preservable. This is true even IF the mind were "embedded" in the structure of the brain. Matzke & Russell contend it's not but if it WERE onsite, and "in" the brain, if mind operates as quantum-probability, cryopreservation cannot possibly freeze a probability. The concept itself is beyond anything Ettinger or Drexler or Merkle or anyone else in cryonics has contended with.
