Abstract

Because an unmeasured quantum system consists of information -- neither tangible existence nor its complete absence -- no property can be assigned a definite value, only a range of likely values should it be measured. The instantaneous transition from information to matter upon measurement establishes a gradient between being and not-being. A quantum system enters a determinate state in a particular moment (being) until this moment is past (not-being), at which point the system resumes its default state as an evolving superposition of potential values of properties, neither strictly being nor not-being. Like a "self-organized" chemical system that derives energy from breaking down environmental gradients, a quantum system derives information from breaking down the ontological gradient. An organism is a body in the context of energy and a mind in the context of information.
本体梯度的崩塌
因为一个不可测量的量子系统是由信息组成的——既不是有形的存在,也不是完全不存在——没有任何属性可以被赋予一个确定的值,只有一个可能的值范围应该被测量。测量时从信息到物质的瞬时转换建立了存在与不存在之间的梯度。一个量子系统在特定时刻(存在)进入一个确定状态,直到这个时刻过去(不存在),此时系统恢复其默认状态,作为潜在属性值的不断发展的叠加,既不是严格的存在,也不是不存在。就像一个“自组织”的化学系统从分解环境梯度中获得能量一样,量子系统从分解本体梯度中获得信息。有机体是能量背景下的身体和信息背景下的思想。
