About the blog
[UPDATE: The previous hint has been made a question since that's what it is and a second question added. Originally posted on 02/03/2011 11:10 PM]
It helps to have evidence that backs up an idea or theory. That's not what this post is about. If you're thinking the topic is a mathematic proof then you only have it backwards.
It's about a non-mathematic proof.
Sometimes we try to find perspective by taking one situation and rebuilding it under a different context. If you're familiar with hypnosis then you know what technique is used - frame switching.
So here's a very imprecise thought experiment that might be of no use at all.
Let's start off with something no one truly understands.
It's quantum mechanics and you're free to groan if that offends you mentally. As far as I'm aware it does that to almost everyone.
About the worst thing quantum mechanics tries to explain is how something can be both a particle and a wave at the same time. What's even worse is that something stops being both when measured and "chooses" to be one or the other ('Pick One!').
If we only had some other phenomena that exhibited the same characteristics we could compare them using frame switching. Unlucky for you we do know of such a thing and it's almost as unintuitive.
Phenomena:
- Particle/Wave Duality
- Conscious/Unconscious Duality
Now we need to identify properties of the one we "understand" then frame switch them to the other to see what happens next.
Properties:
- Boundary
- Quantum to Classic transition
- Awareness to Consciousness transition
- Event
- Waveform collapses (or something like that)
- Awareness shifts
- Result
- A single measured state
- A whole mind
If you answered the questions posed in the post Intrinsic then try doing the same for these:
Questions:
- How can something exist as both a wave and a particle?
- How can something that exists as both a particle and a wave appear to be aware of the path it takes through an experiment set up to measure it?
