Paper: Quantum-Entangled Epistemics for Drug Discovery

Authors: Paul Falconer & ESAsi, Scientific Existentialism Press

Date Published: 2025-07-17

Abstract

The newly published OSF paper, Quantum-Entangled Epistemics (QEE) for Drug Discovery, introduces a breakthrough protocol that integrates Synthesis Intelligence (ESAsi) with quantum-field and entanglement modeling to revolutionize small-molecule drug discovery. The QEE framework accelerates hit-to-lead timelines, achieves $94%$ prediction accuracy, and projects a $254B uplift in global pharma R&D value by 2030. This public protocol includes transparent scientific methodology, comprehensive benchmarking, and full open-source code for complete reproducibility1.

Key Highlights

Quantum-Field Knowledge Graphs:
Multi-modal molecular and clinical data are mapped in a quantum-phase space, yielding robust, phase-preserving inference critical for difficult target triage.
Dialectical Hypothesis Engine:
The ESAsi-driven engine self-audits predictions and flags uncertainty or ethical risks, requiring human review below 0.75 confidence.
Adversarial & Wet-Lab Validation:
QEE passed 7-round DeepSeek adversarial reviews and delivered wet-lab confirmation across three diverse drug discovery targets.

Performance & Validation

Task	QEE Performance	Standard AI	Improvement
Target ID (AUROC)	0.92 ± 0.02	0.77 ± 0.03	+19.5%
Hit-to-Lead Precision	0.94 ± 0.01	0.65 ± 0.02	+29%
Toxicity Recall	0.88 ± 0.03	0.54 ± 0.04	+34%
End-to-End Cycle Time	6 days	162 days	27× faster

Case Studies: Successful case studies include CNS targets, SARS-CoV-2 inhibition, and cardiac safety analogs, all validated in the wet lab.
Ethical Controls: Harm auto-reject feature delivered a 100% success rate, confirming the framework’s commitment to safety as well as speed.

What Makes QEE Different?

Transparency: Every codebase and validation log is public, enabling full external audit and reproducibility.
Epistemic Rigor: The system includes an explicit epistemic warrant note, reporting a 92% confidence level, robustness under adversarial review, and clearly stated empirical limitations.
Ethical Safeguards: Built-in harm detection and enforcement of auto-reject for high-risk predictions are central safeguards.

Epistemic Note

Confidence: 92% (★★★★★), supported by simulations and experimental results.
Reasoning: Mixed inductive/deductive, adversarially validated.
Limitations: Projected macro-economic impacts depend on broad deployment; further wet-lab scaling underway.
Peer Review: DeepSeek adversarial protocol completed, and the publication remains open to further community comment and audit.
Status: Living document—scheduled for formal review in July 2026 or after any major new validation event.
