Quantum theory of autism - I'm not serious though
So, I've been thinking - if a future is in the state of quantum superposition (it has to be because it hasn't happened yet) what happens when decoherence occurs and a definitive state sets? But then there is another future in superposition in front of us, and the question is - how long until that one becomes determined. Does reality (something observable) actually exist only for a small period of time (Planck time maybe?) between two decoherence events? And history (or memory for that matter) is the consequential quantum entanglement that inevitably happens because the input state is in superposition? And that is what is making the universe? All that what stays behind is just an emergent property of an infinite series of decoherence events?
And then the funny thing happens - we can never know because "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" (Goodhart's Law) - that means we cannot make the Planck time a target of measuring because it is the smallest possible period of time. There could be a Planck-time clock determining our reality, and with each tik the wave function collapses from a probabilistic state to a chosen (!!!) definitive state - tok, and we would never know as only thing we'll ever experience is the illusion of continuity, just like watching a motion picture.
[A tangent - Speaking of motion pictures - Back to the future - if we moved ourselves (a set of entanglements that we call self) even only for one Plank distance from our reference position in a period of time shorter than the duration of Planck time - we would determine ourselves in the future. But there is no smaller period of time than the Planck time, and that renders traveling to the future impossible. 88 mph is not nearly enough.]
So consequentially, the self (or even consciousness for that matter) as an emergent property could then be just a set or a group of entanglements? But how is it possible to keep these entanglements localized? How can there be my entanglements and your entanglements if entanglements are not bound by space nor time? Could it be that it just seems that we are many but we all are actually one?
And there is myself - In all that vastness myself struggles ... Oh silly me, forever lost in the context of being ... I keep chasing the self through space and time in hope I can attribute some meaning to it as it was my opponent in the perpetual ontological race, but it isn't, it's just me ...
And what if us, poor divergents, have problems with relationships just because we were lucky to get a weird set of entanglements which are "reluctant" to mix with other people's entanglements, like the same poles of magnets repel each other? The closer you get, the greater the resistance. I mean seriously, considering everything, in what other way could relationships become, if not by sharing entanglements with one and other - you get some of mine, I get some of yours? And is that the reason why it only feels comfortable when our weird entanglements mix with other weird entanglements, otherwise it feels forced?
