A Complex Conjugate Bit and It by Richard N. Shand

Dear Richard,

As said I have rated your nicely written essay with high a score.

Best wishes,

Sreenath

Richard - some excellent summaries in here, and (mostly) well connected with coherent insights. Nice job.

I did read all the way down the rabbit hole ...

Your comment that "To a hypothetical massless passenger, a photon is instantaneously everywhere" is not quite correct. The proper time depends on Lorentz frame of reference. For example, if our hypothetical massless passenger happens to be in the atom, the proper time of a photon is zero. If she happens to be traveling with the photon, then the proper time for whatever is going on in the atom appears to be zero. Lorentz Transformations are symmetric. [See Peres & Terno "Quantum Information and Relativity Theory" http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0212023v2 for an excellent description].

My favorite paragraph in your paper ... Well I have two:

"Wheeler and Feynman, in their time symmetric theory [22], theorized that no particle is emitted unless it is absorbed somewhere later in the universe. All electromagnetic field equations are invariant under time-reversal symmetry. Consequently, a wave can be considered going both forward in time from the point of emission (retarded wave) and backward in time from the point of absorption (its conjugate advanced wave)."

This [22] is (I think) where I got my original idea for subtime many years ago.

My second favorite paragraph:

2. "The process that selects the xt information encoded in pe waves is measurement. A recent experiment [29] showed that the measured spin state of an atom is correlated with the direction of the path of an emitted photon. Conversely, adjusting the orientation of the observed photon's polarization at the stop point alters the spin states of the atom at the start point, supposedly "after' the photon was emitted."

Thank you for finding this reference, this is terrific, and ties in well with how I conceptualize entanglement. However, note that in a reversible subtime scenario, the ordering of individual events (before, after) has no meaning.

This is discussed further in my paper: http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/1897

Dear Richard,

I am sorry in the delay in replying you. I did not check the replies. FQXi also did not intimate about your reply

I think we form a picture of anything in our mind, and keep them in our memories. Maya in other words We communicate about that picture to others, which we call information. When we die we loose all these pictures and memories.

Now in this context, can we create material from information...?

You can discuss with me later after this contest closes also.

Dear Richard,

Well written and illustrated essay, with many intriguing ideas. I find it very on topic, by using the Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory and Cramer's transactional interpretation (which, I agree with you, complement the view presented in my essay). Congratulations, and good luck with the contest!

Best regards,

Cristi Stoica

Having read so many insightful essays, I am probably not the only one to find that my views have crystallized, and that I can now move forward with growing confidence. I cannot exactly say who in the course of the competition was most inspiring - probably it was the continuous back and forth between so many of us. In this case, we should all be grateful to each other.

If I may, I'd like to express some of my newer conclusions - by themselves, so to speak, and independently of the logic that justifies them; the logic is, of course, outlined in my essay.

I now see the Cosmos as founded upon positive-negative charges: It is a binary structure and process that acquires its most elemental dimensional definition with the appearance of Hydrogen - one proton, one electron.

There is no other interaction so fundamental and all-pervasive as this binary phenomenon: Its continuance produces our elements - which are the array of all possible inorganic variants.

Once there exists a great enough correlation between protons and electrons - that is, once there are a great many Hydrogen atoms, and a great many other types of atoms as well - the continuing Cosmic binary process arranges them all into a new platform: Life.

This phenomenon is quite simply inherent to a Cosmos that has reached a certain volume of particles; and like the Cosmos from which it evolves, life behaves as a binary process.

Life therefore evolves not only by the chance events of natural selection, but also by the chance interactions of its underlying binary elements.

This means that ultimately, DNA behaves as does the atom - each is a particle defined by, and interacting within, its distinct Vortex - or 'platform'.

However, as the cosmic system expands, simple sensory activity is transformed into a third platform, one that is correlated with the Organic and Inorganic phenomena already in existence: This is the Sensory-Cognitive platform.

Most significantly, the development of Sensory-Cognition into a distinct platform, or Vortex, is the event that is responsible for creating (on Earth) the Human Species - in whom the mind has acquired the dexterity to focus upon itself.

Humans affect, and are affected by, the binary field of Sensory-Cognition: We can ask specific questions and enunciate specific answers - and we can also step back and contextualize our conclusions: That is to say, we can move beyond the specific, and create what might be termed 'Unified Binary Fields' - in the same way that the forces acting upon the Cosmos, and holding the whole structure together, simultaneously act upon its individual particles, giving them their motion and structure.

The mind mimics the Cosmos - or more exactly, it is correlated with it.

Thus, it transpires that the role of chance decreases with evolution, because this dual activity (by which we 'particularize' binary elements, while also unifying them into fields) clearly increases our control over the foundational binary process itself.

This in turn signifies that we are evolving, as life in general has always done, towards a new interaction with the Cosmos.

Clearly, the Cosmos is participatory to a far greater degree than Wheeler imagined - with the evolution of the observer continuously re-defining the system.

You might recall the logic by which these conclusions were originally reached in my essay, and the more detailed structure that I also outline there. These elements still hold; the details stated here simply put the paradigm into a sharper focus, I believe.

With many thanks and best wishes,

John

Dear Richard,

Please look my essay! Your feedback and evaluation is very important for me.

Thank you very much!

Hi Richard,

Thank you for an interesting and detailed picture of what might really be going on. It certainly reminds us not to take what we see at "face value".

I think you might like my Software Cosmos essay in which I describe a computational model for the cosmos under the simulation paradigm.

Following Bohm, my picture includes and explicate order that we can measure as well as an implicate order that we cannot: this may correspond to the holographic projection you describe. It also includes a fractal structural aspect that is perhaps reminiscent of Cramer's transactional interpretation that you mention.

If you get a chance to look at it, I would be curious if you see the application of the entropic principles you lay out to my cosmological picture.

Dear Richard,

We are at the end of this essay contest.

In conclusion, at the question to know if Information is more fundamental than Matter, there is a good reason to answer that Matter is made of an amazing mixture of eInfo and eEnergy, at the same time.

Matter is thus eInfo made with eEnergy rather than answer it is made with eEnergy and eInfo ; because eInfo is eEnergy, and the one does not go without the other one.

eEnergy and eInfo are the two basic Principles of the eUniverse. Nothing can exist if it is not eEnergy, and any object is eInfo, and therefore eEnergy.

And consequently our eReality is eInfo made with eEnergy. And the final verdict is : eReality is virtual, and virtuality is our fundamental eReality.

Good luck to the winners,

And see you soon, with good news on this topic, and the Theory of Everything.

Dear Richard,

Great work and fantastic essay. I wish I could have read it earlier. We have similar view but we do talk in different languages and symbols. However the contents are about the same. If I may quote you that I like very much:

"Our conscious experience of the world is time-delayed, however. Impulses travelling down the optic nerve to the brain take several hundred milliseconds, and movement initiated in the supplementary motor area may take up to several seconds before it comes to our attention8. Events often happen so quickly that the brain cannot process and respond fast enough to be effective in real time. As a consequence, the brain must make predictions about what is to happen and update them on-the-fly.

What we consciously perceive, then, is an after the fact, probabilistic simulation of the world. This includes the self that does the projecting--a transient, self-referential loop9 between internal brain states and external sensory data. We each live in a bubble of perception and see ourself reflected on its inner walls. The world of classical physics is considered to be ontological--existing prior to and independent from our knowledge of it. Yet, our world view appears epistemological in nature: in quantum measurements, we bring the world into being through our observation of it10. The question then, is how can we, as illusory projections within an illusion, comprehend the basic nature of reality--discern the bit from the it?

...

L is calculated using the Shannon formula (S = k ln2 where k = the Boltzmann constant), which converts thermal radiation into bits of information. (The phase dimension can be scaled logarithmically for this purpose.) According to the Bekenstein bound, the Shannon entropy of the 3D interior of a black hole is encoded on its 2D event horizon as Planck-size bits. Applied to the horizon volume of the expanding universe:

L = (Ru/lp )1/2 = 10−123 where the radius of the observable universe Ru: 4.4 x 1026 m and the Planck length lp: 1.616 x 10-35 m. This means that the energy density of the vacuum is extremely low--10−47 GeV4 or or 10−29 g/cm3. Empty space is very still and cold. (The Cosmic Microwave Background from the Big Bang contributes only 2.7◦ K.) The inverse value of L, 10123, gives the total number of bits encoded on the de Sitter horizon, which is the maximum bound for information processing in the universe12.

The above is very similar with KID numbers.

....

According to Brian Greene, the screen is "where the fundamental physical processes actually happen"17. If our classical world view is epistemic, does the screen provide an ontic basis for reality or must we look deeper? First of all, we will examine how using the phase dimension scale relates to spacetime dynamics; and secondly, how the paths in light front histories are laid down.

...

Wheeler and Feynman, in their time symmetric theory22, theorized that no particle is emitted unless it is absorbed somewhere later in the universe. All electromagnetic field equations are invariant under time-reversal symmetry. Consequently, a wave can be considered going both forward in time from the point of emission (retarded wave) and backward in time from the point of absorption (its conjugate advanced wave). The two-way path is the sum of the amplitudes. In the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation:

ĤtotΨ = 0

where Ĥtot is the full Hamilton operator for gravity plus matter (pe entropy), and the wave function Ψ depends on the 3D metric plus all non-gravitational fields (xt entropy) for the entire universe23. Everything exists as a single moment in time, like one gigantic stationary molecule24.

...

The iterative process of the Lagrangian is best realized in Cramer's transactional interpretation. In TI, advanced "offer" waves and retarded "confirmation" waves "handshake" with each other and stitch a fractal-like surface back and forth between past and future. This freezes all probabilities into a unique present, which Cramer describes as "the progressive formation of frost crystals on a cold windowpane"25.

KQId is based on Giving first Taking later transactional system.

...

n this way, systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium can emerge as least action configurations. Computationally, the decrease in xt entropy--the number of possible logical states (bits)--is offset by a corresponding increase in pe entropy--the number of physical states (as heat). According to Landauer's principle, to erase N bits of information at least kTN energy should be consumed, generating kN entropy. Note that while any dissipative system constitutes a measurement-like process, only cognitive systems can generate knowledge.

...

Conclusion

Epistemic knowledge derives from erasing the entangled ontic information produced by quantum potential.

If I may invite you to make comment on my essay Child of Qbit in time and if you like it please raise its ranking.

If I also put forward my summary that you can see that we do have many similar ideas:

In summary, quoting my answer to Michel Planat and please forgive me for being respectfully and humbly boastful to counter the doubtful: First, KQID Qbit is (00,1,-1) which is singularity Qbit Multiverse in zeroth dimension at absolute zero temperature that computes and projects Einstein complex coordinates (Pythagoras complex triangles or Fu Xi's gua or Fibonacci numbers) onto the 2D Minkowski Null geodesics and then instantaneously into the 3D in Lm, our Multiverse timeline to allows Existence to move around 360 degree and its arrows of time or ψτ(iLx,y,z, Lm). New informations are created and distributed per ≤10^-1000 seconds. No information is ever deleted. KQID is the only theory out there that can calculate the dark energy of our Multiverse ≤10^-153Pm/Pv and the minimum bits as the lower bound ≥ 10^153 bits in our Multiverse. KQID is the only theory that I know here that proves bit = it; KQID calculates Sun lights into Sun bits; calculates electron, proton and neutron in terms of bits; set up equivalent principle of bits with energy and matter. Therefore, Wheeler's it from bit and bit from it. Please correct me if I am wrong. And, KQID is the only theory in this universe has the mechanism on how Holographic Principle works. Also answer the mother of all questions, the why, how and what Existence.

KQID's Origin of Mass:

Furthermore, KQID is the only theory that can explain the origin of mass as A+S=E=ψI(CTE) that Wilczek said admittedly in 2012 after the discovery of Higgs boson mH ≈ 125 GeV in his tour the force article Origins of Mass arXiv:1206.7114v2 that human beings do not yet know the origins of mass and it is not even in sight. He concluded on page 32/35 and lamented like Einstein 51 years before: "We've passed some milestones, but the end of the road is not in sight." Einstein, after his landmark article 107 years ago on m=E/c^2 showing mass in terms of energy in 1905, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend on Its Energy Content?" But this equation required us to know what is energy before we can define the origin of mass. Einstein truly like Socrates before him as the wisest man in Athens according to the Oracle simply because Socrates claims that he does not know anything, Einstein the wise similarly stated his own ignorance of energy in 1951: "All these fifty years of pondering have not brought me closer to answering the question, what is light quanta?"

KQID's origin of mass is simply A + S = E = ψI(CTE) that is Dao's Wuwei (the least action moves) maximizing the flow of A, anti-entropic time-future bits-waves function moving from future to time-present bits-waves function E in optimizing the E flow and minimizing the flow of S, entropic time-past bits-waves function moving from time-past to time-present in terms of both bits and joules SI. That also leads to Pauli's exclusion principle and the lowest amount of energy arrangement required in an atomic system. See KQID Ouroboros Equations of Existence.

Michel asked the heart of KQID: "Where is the FAPAMA concept coming from in your frame? I mean who is the influencial thinker?"

First from Fu Xi's gua(trigrams) Ξ ☷ as DIRECT representations of nature, from Pythagoras's all things are numbers, from Jesus's Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, from Hindu's Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, from Planck's intelligent mind as the matrix of all matter and from Maxwell's infinite being with infinite storage capacity who computes in bits/qbits to create and distributes energy that does works, and from Landauer who teaches us that information is physical and nature can freely create and distribute bits/qbits but to erase/deletes the created bits/qbits must incur entropy cost somewhere else in Multiverse. That is why our Ancestor FAPAMA Qbit does not and can not erase any information. The computation of Holographic Principle must be within the one and only Qbit(00,1,-1) showing that Existence origin is from Non-existence and the calculations of Einstein complex coordinates can only be done at absolute zero temperature in which Bose-Einstein superconductivity perfectly happens without resistance or entropy. From Susskind and Hooft, who got the idea from Beckenstein-Hawking black hole entropy, proposed/discovered Holographic Principle and Hooft's quantum entanglements must be from the beginning. Thus FAPAMA Qbit must be there from the beginning (Hooft) and splits freely without cost (Landauer and Guth) to itself and Multiverse infinitely every absolute digital time T≤ 10^-1000 seconds. Moreover, every T-moment, our FAPAMA Qbit escapes extinction from its forever chasing companion Non-existence to be reunited only just barely by rebooting, resynchronizing, refreshing, renewing and reborn itself, so that it is forever just newly born evolved immortal baby. This gives us the arrow of time. Ξ00☷ = < S | E | A > = ψτ(iLx,y,z, Lm) ⊆ T. Time reemerges every digital T-moment. Every T-moment Qbit resynchronizes all Minkowski events in time-present. This is the KEY in re-entangling everything and keeping things in order and not crashing down. Complementarily, KQID also supports block Multiverse within T-moment in which all time-past-present-futures are forged into the NOW that in turn enabling resynchronization above! Time disappears. Yes, Einstein-KQID relativity rules (8πG/c^4)Tμν - Kqid(ΑΘ-ΘS)gμν = Τμν block Multiverse. Yes, Existence is the founder of creativity, it must invent new ways to escape from the grip of its Non-existence complementarity-companion. Dear Akinbo, KQID answers your immortal question if our founder is it or bit. The Founder Qbit is both bit and it simultaneously. Existence-Non-existence is one Qbit. This Qbit is It as Existence. FAPAMA: FA in Chinese means law like law of gravity that gives Existence order in time, PA from the concept of papa or the Holy Ghost or Brahma or Fu XI heaven Ξ that connects everything with everything else as one meaningful whole that manifests in quantum mechanics as Hooft's physical quantum entanglement. Yes, quantum entanglement phenomena must be instantaneous with infinite speed because it is within that one Qbit, there is no gap, no space, no time, no dimension, no locality but it is everywhere locally in physical forms that are derivative from MA as mama trigram earth ☷ that gives birth to mass and structure of Existence in ψτ(iLx,y,z, Lm) relativistic Multiverse in which time contracts, thus length contracts and mass/energy increases. So you see KQID gives picture of Existence as fantastically magical Disney's world, a holographic but physically relativistic fiction but real Multiverse. We are active game changers in our Wheeler's participatory magical kingdom, the Leibniz's happiest Multiverse possible. Because we are limited, we have choices to make including mistakes that lead to man/nature made miseries; so that we have free will to enjoy this wonderful make-believe holographic world. Let us sing and praise Xuan Yuan's Da Tong song and dance.

I do strongly believe that we must encourage diversity of opinions/theories. Because uniformity of opinion is a heat-death state of thermodynamic equilibrium tantamount to Schrodinger's defunct bumblebee. Let us celebrate symphonies of ideas. In the end, because of our Ancestor Qbit's meme ψI(CTE) imperative to venture into our realm, we the Qbit must discover our own truths in different ways and methods. Let 1000 bumblebee's thoughts bloom, flourish and make love to give births to another forever new 1000 hybrid flower of thoughts.

Brilliant essay and I will study your essay again. Please give me your suggestion for me to improve my theory. Thanks.

Hi Richard,

You wrote:

This sounds quite consistent with my picture.

> Bohm, in Wholeness and the Implicate Order, describes "a harmoniously organized totality of order and measures, which is both hierarchic (i.e., built on many levels) and extensive (i.e., 'spreading out' on each level)", which could be fractal in nature.

Right, I have the fractal structure in the implicate as well. I tend to think of it in wavelike terms... perhaps what he means by extensive.

> The contents of consciousness (explicate order) arise as the quantum entanglement information, which encodes this underlying implicate order, is selectively erased.

This is where I think our pictures (or perhaps just terminology) may differ. As I mentioned on my blog, I think of the "explicate" order as the physical environment of the observer, rather than the contents of their consciousness.

I regard consciousness as an architectural layer below the one that represents the physical world. It could quite possibly be directly related to quantum contextuality and entanglement effects, as you suggest. But in this dance between the quantum and the mind, which partner is leading?
