A speculative essay, in the scientific tradition of ever more granular human behaviors falling into a reductionist paradigm, where, in addition to the previously established human behavioral patterns tracked to the annual sunlight-driven dopamine cycle, a second dopamine "clock" is proposed in the human brain. This measured cycle starts with a 10-day-long "low dopamine" phase (with various stages of impulsivity, anxiety, and depression and then the reverse as it quickly climbs back up), then a 10-day-long "high dopamine" phase (with hyperactive and manic behaviors), before diminishing to a 20-day-long "normal dopamine" phase (with calm and focus), before the cycle starts again with the "low dopamine" phase. The levels of the primary sunlight-driven cycle and the proposed secondary dopamine cycle aggregated together are considered as the only factors needed to create an annual behavioral calendar or "human temperament map." Daylight Savings Time and evolutionary fitness benefits are discussed as possible causes of the secondary dopamine cycle and its amplitude is considered as driving behaviors due to changes to (or limits to) working memory. The aggregate graph of both dopamine cycles has a striking resemblance to the quantum mechanical Schrodinger wave function leading to a speculative yet possible "wave function of consciousness."

Due to advancements in Quantum Computing, now we can simulate ``Our Universe'', based on observations, experiments and models we already have. A comparison between Low Energy Physics and HEP benefits us understanding the foundations, including the role of vector potential, quantum phase and how Space, Time and classical concepts emerge from the quantum formalism, e.g. The Standard Model.We will focus on the U(1)-gauge theory, as a paradigm not only of Electromagnetism, but also for the quark fields of QCD. The ultimate test: understanding the fine structure constant!
