Bijective Epistemology and "Time from Quantum Entanglement"

Published Aug 1, 2015• 0 citations

Abstract

Idea that time can have origin in entanglement is based on the preposition that “internal observer”, “external observer”, “coordinate time ” and “proper time ” are theoretical models of the world which have counterpart in physical universe. Bijective epistemology based on bijective function of set theory confirms these models have no counterpart in physical universe; they are pure theoretical inventions on which we cannot build a consistent scientific theory. Idea that time could have origin in entanglement has no enough theoretical and experimental basis to be taken seriously as an adequate model of physical world.

Time-External Interpretation of Quantum Phenomena Based on the Light Universe Theory: Conceptual Paper (Photon Time-External Version)

Akihito Sugawara

This conceptual paper presents a time-external interpretation of quantum phenomena based on the Light Universe Theory. It proposes that quantum entities exist as fluctuations outside of time and are only drawn into the temporal domain through the act of observation, manifesting as causally consistent outcomes. The paper incorporates the physical property that photons experience no passage of time (proper time zero) as a concrete basis for this interpretation. Key phenomena such as probabilistic behavior, quantum entanglement, and the measurement problem are reinterpreted within this framework. The paper also discusses connections with quantum mechanical calculations, showing that time-independent formulations align with the concept of time-external fluctuations, while time-dependent calculations correspond to observation-driven entry into time. This work offers a complementary conceptual model for understanding quantum mechanics and provides a philosophical and intuitive perspective on quantum behavior in relation to light and time.

A Conjectural Framework for the Common Origin of Quantum Time and the Speed of Light

Yi Chen

We propose a phenomenological framework in which the homogeneous external time parameter t of quantum mechanics and the invariant speed of light c of relativity share a common origin rooted in the internal architecture of an observer. The observer is characterised by two intrinsic scales: an internal clock period \tau_0 and a spatial resolution \lambda_0. The internal unitary evolution of the observer defines a homogeneous proper time \tau, which serves as the absolute background time for quantum dynamics. When the observer projects this internal rhythm outward to organise external events, the ratio \lambda_0/\tau_0 emerges as a universal maximum signalling speed, identified with the speed of light c. In the presence of gravity or cosmic expansion, the observer's internal clock rate couples to the local geometry via the time‑time component of the metric g_{00}, causing both the observed coordinate time dilation and the coordinate speed of light to vary synchronously. This framework offers a unified conceptual origin for the otherwise disparate roles of time in quantum theory and relativity, and provides a natural resolution to the Hubble tension without invoking new dark‑energy components.

Philosophical lessons of entanglement

Anthony Sudbery, Dipankar Home, Guruprasad Kar +1 more

The quantum-mechanical description of the world, including human observers, makes substantial use of entanglement. In order to understand this, we need to adopt concepts of truth, probability and time which are unfamiliar in modern scientific thought. There are two kinds of statements about the world: those made from inside the world, and those from outside. The conflict between contradictory statements which both appear to be true can be resolved by recognising that they are made in different perspectives. Probability, in an objective sense, belongs in the internal perspective, and to statements in the future tense. Such statements obey a many-valued logic, in which the truth values are identified as probabilities.

Reality, Measurement, and the State of the System in Quantum Mechanics

Edwin C. Kemble

It has always been the ideal of science to discover laws of nature on which we can all agree. Agreement requires evidence independent of individual judgment, i.e., objective evidence. We apply the term objective to such unbiased scientific evidence because we associate it with an external world of objects that we conceive to be the origin of our information. This external world is instinctively invented by each of us as a means of dealing with invariant patterns in his private world of experience. The invention is validated and elaborated as a consequence of the fact that it turns out to be sharable. In fact the common content of all our invented external worlds is so unambiguous and independent of individual bias that it can form the universally accepted basis for communication and action in an organized society. The consistency of the patterns of experience associated with the external world is such that we are under severe psychological compulsion to assign to this world an existence independent of our experience and a reality superior to that of any small part of our experience. Physical science is devoted to the study of the “laws” of the external physical universe, i.e., to the behaviour of the objects in it. Hence there is a strong tendency to project into the external world the information gathered by scientifically objective methods and even the theoretical concepts in terms of which the information is interpreted. Whatever is so projected is objective in a second sense of the term, i.e., assigned by us to the external world of objects.

Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics: Time as Emergent Property Deriving from Quantum Correlations

Michele Caponigro

In the last years several theoretical papers discussed if time can be an emergent property deriving from quantum correlations. In this brief paper, we argue about the problem of time in quantum entanglement from philosophical point of view. In the end of paper, we will focus to recent works which show the possibility to derive the time from quantum correlations. Keywords: philosophy of quantum mechanics, quantum time, interpretations of quantum mechanics, quantum correlations, non-locality, reality.

The Observational Time-Interval as a Hidden Parameter: A Sampling-Theoretic Reinterpretation of Quantum Uncertainty and Wave Function Collapse

Kazunori Ohumi

This paper proposes that the fundamental paradoxes of quantum mechanics—the Uncertainty Principle, superposition, and entanglement—originate not from the inherent nature of physical reality, but from an epistemological neglect of the finite observation time-interval, or "shutter speed." Modern physics has historically idealized observation as an instantaneous event (), a simplification that fails at the quantum scale where reality manifests as a continuous "Generative Rhythm." By modeling measurement as a tuning operation that samples information within specific temporal windows, we demonstrate that the trade-off between position and momentum is a natural consequence of information-theoretic sampling limits. This "Shutter Speed Theory" resolves the paradox of wave function collapse into a rational process of "informational crystallization," providing a consistent ontological bridge between the continuous flow of the universe and our discrete empirical observations.
