Yes, "spooky" indeed. But what have you to say of "metaphors" and "similes"?

What a read! Phew!

Very interesting article. Theoretical science is always the most exciting..

I trust and hope someone will tell this story to Telstra. Their search engine is true to the semantics of the day. A million answers,and fast but none of any value.

Peter,

Interesting article. I see the quantum realm as indeterminate and the macro realm having predictable relationships, as with semantics. When human organisms live in a culture and that culture receives input from the macro environment it is encoded at the level of the neuron. You may be familiar with those bubble charts used for testing for colour blindness. Herein, different cultures will have a word for, say, “orange”. What happens across cultures is that number of specific circles called “orange”, do cluster cross-culturally, but imperfectly (Triandis). This condition would suggest external learning from the macro environment, rather than quantum, methinks.

If you not done so already, you might find the work of Michael Polanyi helpful in coming to grips with the epistemology of knowledge. Read, the body of his works for a true feel. Polanyi maintains implicit and explicit knowledge are co-efficient. Herein, contrary to the former paragraph, personal knowledge discovery occurs from the inside-out. Philosophically, we make a commitment, to a truth in an “indeterminate” future, as we “indwell” in performances (Polanyi).

Indeterminacy would seem to be a common factor.

What seems hard for me is: how the atomic deterministic realm and the quantum realm would interact? As I type, I am thinking about a volcano. Magma is flowing up from the metaphorical quantum realm to meet with the atmosphere, where it confronts, “conditions”. The magma and conditions [from the macro world] produce a state machine of considerable complexity, with merely quasi-predictable outcomes. However, with a marco-world volcano, the interaction is between equivalent physical entities. The gases in the air have collapsed and real magma is made of [collapsed] atoms:

With a macro system incorporating the input of quantum processes would there not need to be a state machine, which determined how quantum and macro inputs are integrated into a determinate physical world, even though those realities are indeterminately held?

Relatedly, what would be analguous to an the magnets influencing the projection, after the firing of the electron gun? The brain would need a different [or more units of the same mechanism to coalesce a compound verb vis~a~vis a simple verb. Coaleascing and collapsing would appear to be separate constructs?

[Bertrand Russell and Alexander Meinong have examined the nature of atomic [not in the physic sense] propositions, symbolic logic subject-predicate forms. The notion of subsistence [as opposed to existence] is noted. Might provide you a metaphor?]
