"The #quantum measurement problem, often framed in terms of an ill-defined 'collapse of the wavefunction,' may find a more natural resolution in understanding measurement as a specific type of interaction that actualizes a determinate #pattern from a spectrum of #autaxic potentialities, governed by contextual factors and the inherent rules of #autaxys"

"the wave-particle duality of #quantum entities, a persistent conceptual puzzle, can be re-envisioned within #autology not as a contradictory nature of fixed 'things,' but as different modes of manifestation or interaction of underlying #autaxys #patterns, dependent on the observational context and the scale of interaction"

Exploring #reality beyond "things": Introducing #autaxys – a principle of a self-generating, pattern-based universe – and #autology, its field of study. This #QNFO framework posits that order & "physicality" emerge from intrinsic dynamics.

Our foundational paper, "Autaxys and Autology: Definition, Rationale, and Implications," details these concepts:

@tomcapuder @cbontenbal Interesting. I think science definitely has a chance of making up something useful but we need a huge leap of faith to think it arrives at the truth.

Science keeps discarding things that were thought to be real like electric, heat fluids, luminiferous ether etc. We can make an inductive argument that it'll continue - the world as described by science will keep changing and therefore it is not real.

Multiple (sometimes incompatible and infinite) theories and interpretations exist which give the exact same phenomenon. The one accepted by science is based on luck - the first to make novel predictions.

We are stepping into the realm of the unobservable in advanced physics like string theory. Should we discard these pieces or update the definition and methods of science?

Success of scientific investigation is based on luck too. For example, billions of years in the future the light from other galaxies will be undetectable. But human records from today will say they observed many galaxies. Which one should the future humans believe?

So I don't think it's just "mental masturbation" to open our minds to other (potential) sources of knowledge. That's how we progress and enjoy life. 😄

It might be nice to submit this to @quantumjournal, except that means dealing with the evil axis of @arxiv_physics and their "preprint" gatekeeping. I think I'll pass...

(and... Why do I have to select my own editors? That's just more gatekeeping)

@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

#Aristotle named five interlinked Noble Sciences which together make up #Philosophy.

- #Metaphysics: the study of existence, the nature of the universe and all its contents

- #Logic: the ways we may know something, the set of permissible conclusions we may draw based on our perceptions, and some sensible rules of deduction and inference

- #Ethics: what we know about man and what we may deduce and infer (through Logic) about acceptable interactions between pairs of individuals

I'm not a big fan of philosophy. Pages upon pages for ideas that can be summed up in less than 5. The ideas themself tend to be either so simple that they're not really helpful or just stupid. Just read some breif summaries of the most well known philosphies and use what you take from that to build your own. It'll have roughly the same effect for most.

Three weeks ago, I did a #20postchallenge where I introduced #nomodynamy. After a few conversations, I think it is necessary to place it within a metaphysical, ethical, and political context. We seem to be in a stupid moment. I am going to try and get us out of it by fostering intelligence and perspective. Wish me luck. This will also be the 8th challenge of my #20challengechallenge. The challenge starts with the next post. #metaphysics #ethics #politics #FreeWill

Reading Victor Lowe "Understanding Whitehead" on "organism" some pieces fall into place.

Since we're humans, not machines, thinking about the foundation of epistemology may take von Uexküll's umwelt-innenwelt dialectic as a functional point of view.

As lebewesen we can't do anything against the systemic relation, the analogy, between prehension and metaphysics. This is our grounding.
