The "basic models transmitted or generated at conception" part seems self-evident (is this even controversial?), but as evidence for quantum implementation I also don't see a connection.

Indeed, I'm suggesting the brain may do a kind of quantum computation, but the intrinsic knowledge a given brain has of models of biases toward risk/reward that resemble a father's behavior originate as genomic information modules from his genetic material, which the brain loads as models to do runtime computation about sensory stimuli on.

e.g. Consciousness is not some higher dimensional super or substrate, it's code, compressed into and transmitted by dna, running on a quantum computer in a brain, learning and processing according to initial weights in the dna model.

Sorry, but none of that in any way resembles my understanding of how DNA and the brain work.
