Even before any consideration of quantum mechanics, people had already unconsciously assumed that the mere on-the-spot existence of categories, relationships and numbers would equate to the real-world system automatically having on-the-spot knowledge of their existence. I.e. people had already unconsciously assumed that a real-world mathematical system would automatically include an inherent self-knowledge component.
Then quantum mechanics comes along, and suddenly, unexpectedly, alarmingly, a separate real-world knowledge component pops up, in-your-face, seemingly out of the blue.
Similarly, even before any consideration of quantum mechanics, people had already unconsciously assumed that the on-the-spot numbers (that applied to the categories) would automatically be changed by the real-world system, via some vague mechanism involving the relationships with their delta symbols, where the delta symbols supposedly convert a mere relationship into a full-blown change mechanism. I.e. people had already unconsciously assumed that a real-world mathematical system would automatically include an inherent self-movement component.
Then quantum mechanics comes along, and suddenly, unexpectedly, alarmingly, a separate real-world number-jump movement component pops up, in-your-face, seemingly out of the blue.

However, the characteristics of life and its biology are that, even at the most basic level, life has knowledge of its own internal state (e.g. the experience of hunger) and knowledge of its external surroundings, and life moves itself in response to this knowledge.
Clearly, the real-world system always had a knowledge component and a movement component, separate to, but interconnected to, the mathematical categories, relationships and numbers components.
