Perception as Entanglement: Chris Fields

You can watch all our videos at scienceandnonduality.com
Cognitive neuroscience tells us how we perceive objects. Evolutionary and developmental
biopsychology tells us what objects we can perceive. Cosmology tries to tell us what objects are there to be perceived. We are forced into anthropic or design arguments to explain "why this universe?" because even quantum cosmology spectacularly fails to do so.
Quantum cosmology asks how the "classical world" of ordinary experience-the world of
observers and observable objects-emerges from a quantum universe, one initially packed into a tiny, high-energy dot. The standard answer is decoherence, a process that encodes classical information about a bounded quantum system into its surrounding environment. Decoherence theory allows the precise calculation of what information about any bounded object-an electron, a red Ferrari, a human-habitable planet-its environment provides to observers. The boundaries between objects and their environments must, however, be specified as inputs to such calculations. The central question of cosmology-"why this universe, and hence these objects?"-is thus left unanswered.
I suggest we abandon both the question "why this universe?" and the entire subsequent
story about emergence. A quantum universe is an entangled universe. Any two components of an entangled state encode classical information about each other. All such information is relational and conditional, not absolute or universal: it is information of the form "if I am X, my partner is Y." Viewing observation as entanglement instead of decoherence suggests a universe full of energy but with no boundaries: no space, no time, no objects. What it would mean to live-and do science-in such a timeless, boundary-less universe is fascinating to contemplate.

    This is a magnificent talk. Chris Fields is a highly gifted individual who can communicate so much clarity. I don't think you have hope of understanding quantum theory without being a philosopher in the slightest.

    0D = (point): [Math; Geometry] A point is a 0-dimensional mathematical object which can be specified in -dimensional space using an n-tuple ( , , ..., ) consisting of. coordinates. In dimensions greater than or equal to two, points are sometimes considered synonymous with vectors and so points in n-dimensional space are sometimes called n-vectors. [Math; 4D quaternion algebra] A quaternion is a 4-tuple, which is a more concise representation than a rotation matrix. Its geo- metric meaning is also more obvious as the rotation axis and angle can be trivially recovered. What do we mean by tuple? In mathematics, a tuple is a finite ordered list (sequence) of elements. An n-tuple is a sequence (or ordered list) of n elements, where n is a non-negative integer. There is only one 0-tuple, referred to as the empty tuple. An n-tuple is defined inductively using the construction of an ordered pair. In mathematics, a versor is a quaternion of norm one (a unit quaternion). The word is derived from Latin versare = "to turn" with the suffix -or forming a noun from the verb (i.e. versor = "the turner"). It was introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in the context of his quaternion theory. How do you make a quaternion? You can create an N-by-1 quaternion array by specifying an N-by-3 array of Euler angles in radians or degrees. Use the euler syntax to create a scalar quaternion using a 1-by-3 vector of Euler angles in radians. [Biology] Points, conjugate. (Science; Microscopy) The pair of points on the principal axis of a mirror or lens so located that light emitted from either point will be focused at the other. Related points in the object and image are located optically so that one is the image of the other. (See: polarizing element) (Time) = length, breadth, depth: According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton's picture of a universally ticking clock. Does time exist without space? Time 'is' as space 'is' - part of a reference frame in which in ordered sequence you can touch, throw and eat apples. Time cannot exist without space and the existence of time does require energy.

    Hi, Would you guys please put dates of events in the information part of your videos? It's often important to know time and date because a LOT changes quickly in our world, it helps place things in context of world events and it's just good standard practice to date products for record keeping. Thanks.

    Physics laws are accurate at their particular state if constants, which are the pillars of all equations, are true. If they can vary which is unfortunately the case it disrupt the whole image of our physical world... That's a peculiar example of decoherence in semantics basis...

    A few things here. 1. He claimed the photons don't collapse, however never gave any repeatable evidence for this other than his perception. I think the folks who peer reviewed the double slit experiment would be very sad. 2. Aside from the opinions, I did actually find comparing thought processes to quantum Turing equations quite interesting. 🤷‍♂️

    What if we interpret matter the wrong way, like we're only aware of (light) matter from using the classical method, but maybe dark matter is actually the (imperceptible) "good guy" and matter is the "bad guy," we just don't know how to put aside what we do know classically for what we don't know quantumly, since our biases are too strong and people like to argue firmly. Dark matter can't be observed like matter can, so it can't be defined "classically" (right?) because we don't have the semantics for what's going on because it hasn't been identified or proven that way. So, trying to define things like dark matter through a classical lens won't work. And the person saying "this talk doesn't fit the double slit experiment" should add "according to the classical method used for it" -- because I think it could fit if you put aside what you know classically for a minute.

    That "pet fish" example as something in any way contradicting statistics is really lousy sleight of hand (or just shameful misapplication of how probabilities work). Pet Fish has high probability of being "guppy" even without suggestion, for perfectly valid statistical reasons. It's so cheap to act like multiplying two probabilities is appropriate for evaluating the odds of "pet" and "fish" as a semantic combination implying guppy based on their separate implications. That's not how statistics works nor how semantics works. He knows better. The combo does and should produce a higher probability, and can be shown in mathematical language involving conditional expectations.

    0D = (point); exact location only; zero size; non-composite substance. Not a thing. Not a part. Monad. Soul. 'Represented' by a dot in a theoretical circle. 1D = line; two points; beginning and ending (see 1D, 4D, 7D Symmetry); composite substance; physical 1st four dimensions are 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D ✅. 1st four dimensions are not 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D 🚫. Human consciousness, mathematically, is identical to 4D algebra unit quaternions with w, x, y, z being (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D) and i, j, k being contingent (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk). 'Time' is an illusion. 1D-9D 'contingent' universe has "conscious lifeforms" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk)..."turning" 'time'. We're unit quaternion "turners", "to turn". [Contingent Universe]: 3 sets of 3 dimensions. The illusory middle set (4D, 5D, 6D) is temporal. Id imagine we metaphysically create this middle set similar to a dimensional Venn Diagram with polarized lenses. 1D-3D set/7D-9D set creating the temporal illusion of 4D-6D set. 1D, 2D, 3D = spatial composite 4D, 5D, 6D = illusory temporal 7D, 8D, 9D = spectra energies 1D, 2D, 3D line, width, height 4D, 5D, 6D length, breadth, depth 7D, 8D, 9D continuous, emission, absorption Symmetry: 1D, 4D, 7D line, length, continuous 2D, 5D, 8D width, breadth, emission 3D, 6D, 9D height, depth, absorption Gravity is flawed.

    9:57 .. everything's the edge of one thing or another. Hi. All I write is free. I wonder we are expansion had used deduction as much comparisons ourselves as those we draw. Please come take my work. Practicing honesty, I saw finer details, & felt deep awe, & more, faster than anything I'd ever asked of law of attraction that I'd have wanted, & um, now I write things that seem as though beyond another's wildest dreams. Yours perhaps? Now I shudder. Lol. I thought awe was gonna kill me one day, but then I began writing on echoes in chambers, & on a uni-multi-realm. Why so to ebb & flow with reality (a story) between perfection & imperfection, a static, as history expands as does universe & everything changes beneath (& including) our noses on multiple levels/multiple times. ..Because writers are high maintenance. (1) we don't liking the idea of answering questions midway through asking them (don't like the idea of beating our heads against nothing left to know anymore against anyone, least of all ourselves); & (2) when we aren't happy, we don't write nice things. *Shrugs*. I host a rise in collective consciousness via ripple back of flailers. In a writer's interest.
