[snip] might not be a metal lattice; the whole biological transmutation approach, we might suspect, would represent protein-catalyzed fusion, basically a protein, I assume, setting up confinement conditions that facilitate fusion.[snip]
Abd, I am not familiar with this biological transmutation but assume your previous reference to spontaneous human combustion also comes under this heading? I have suspected such a connection since learning the rare earth metal calcium is a porous powder which the body uses to build bone structure. I can only speculate at some natural process or disease that builds or leaches away to form pores of Casimir geometry in a biological equivalent of creating skeletal catalysts (no pun intended). Something out of the ordinary might be needed to encourage the ambient gas in these pores to become monatomic but the possible connection to excess heat is an intriguing clue. Fran
