In the material world, apparent randomness often conceals the underlying determinism. The fusion of predictability with the unexpected creates a fractal structure in nature. Surprisingly, the temporal rhythm of mental phenomena also represents a fractal structure. The mind forms resonance and interference, indicating that cognitive processes obey the laws of quantum mechanics. Therefore, a social laser can model social unrest as a coherent energy transmission.
Entanglement is a phenomenon in which changes in one part of the system instantaneously influence the state of another part, even across large distances. Applying entanglement in a cognitive context can model emotional behavior. For example, entanglement activates associative target words simultaneously. In the social context, social entanglement refers to a perceived power difference in human interaction. It leads to domination, empowering one partner and subjugating the other. Thus, social entanglement plays a role in shaping social structure.
One person can even create an entanglement between two separate events! When two events are separated in time, nonlocality encompasses fictional time travel to the past. This recollection updates comprehension by pushing understanding into the past and the future. This timelessness indicates that understanding can be influenced by significant temporal spans. In this way, childhood memories transform into adult understanding within an adult's mind.
Similar to the quantum mechanic's particle experiment, new information can entirely overturn a solidified mental reality. When we uncover a secret, our comprehension expands to the past, envisioning the time of the first experience. Ideas in the hidden corners of the mind can be reshaped by information years or even decades later. For instance, sexual harassment and abuse are demeaning and degrading for the victim. However, even years later, a new understanding can reverse the relationship dynamics and empower the victim. Often, revealing or constructively processing past abuses, victims of sexual or social misconduct experience healing and liberation.
We have more power over our personal history than we realize. By creating a positive meaning for the past, we give rise to a better future.

Ahhhh. Now you're getting into my world. As an introverted technician with OCD tendencies, I spend a lot of time in my own mind finding solutions to problems I see or questions I come up with. I use Structure (habits and belief) to keep the OCD from taking over. I have some experience at consciously creating habits, rebuilding belief systems, and how they interact. I am also scientifically oriented enough to grasp the concept of things like string theory and quantum mechanics. It does look like quantum mechanics is describing a mind (at least if it is anything that resembles mine). I have noted that the description of sub atomic particles suspending their probability wave form when we observe them, and it's similarity to what happens when I "collapse the wave function" into my observation of reality. Just as the particle returns to it's wave form after observation, I do too when rebuilding my belief system. I have also noted as soon as I "collapse the wave function" into my new observation of reality, my habits change to support this new reality in a way that is similar to "entanglement". When my habits no longer support my reality I go back and try again. so it works both ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great self-relation or correlation of the QM of your working memory of mind to the changing entanglement of your OCD QM!? :)
DeleteThank you for sharing! It is commendable how you are turning your observation of your condition into an understanding to manage your OCD! Good luck with your journey!
DeleteAlthough I do not have time go into detail, I would like to talk about time. Reality is a serif probabilities and time is simultaneous. All probable pasts, presents and futures exist and are happening now.
ReplyDeleteCommunication between probable versions of yourself living in different temporal locations does happen. Things happening NOW in a probable past can cause physical changes in the present.I could go on, but the next football game is starting. Time is much stranger than most can imagine.
Time is a slice of cosmic reality, similar to tree rings. Tree rings permit us to look back into the already fixed past. The past is not happening NOW.
