This paper identifies structural isomorphisms between quantum entanglement and Sufi non-dualism in Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai's Sindhi poetry. Through formal analogy, two resonances emerge: the chakr structure mirrors quantum superposition, and Bhittai's paradox jud jud ek ṭhīo models entangled non-locality. The paper argues that poetic language can articulate solutions to physical problems centuries before formalization, while rigorously examining the limits of the isomorphism. The implications are bidirectional, offering cognitive scaffolding for physics education and repositioning Bhittai as a philosopher of relation.

This article aims to explore the striking conceptual parallels that exist between the fundamental principles of modern quantum mechanics and the deep ontological concepts of Islamic and Sufi metaphysics.The research focuses on such fundamental concepts of modern physics as the propagation of light by quanta, superposition, the uncertainty principle, quantum entanglement, the holographic principle and the quantum vacuum.These concepts are analyzed in a comparative manner with expressions such as the verse of the Light (24:35) in the Holy Quran, the creation command "Kun fayaqun" (Be and be) (36:82) and "Every moment He is in a new matter" (55:29), as well as with complex Sufi concepts such as Ibn al-Arabi's "wahdati-wujud" (unity of being), "nafs ar-Rahman" (breath of the Most Gracious), "aʿyān as-sabītā" (fixed truths) and "tajalli" (manifestation).The article also interprets the "light-image-mirror" model in Suhrawardi's Ishraq philosophy and Imam Ghazzali's "Mishkat al-Anwar" (The Lamp of Lights), quantum phenomena such as photons, the measurement problem and the collapse of the wave function in an analogous framework.The study aims to build a heuristic bridge between these two different languages, by bringing together the cognitive maps presented by mystical texts and the mathematical models of quantum theory, rather than directly claiming identity.This approach, on the one hand, increases the potential of theological cognition to establish a dialogue with modern science and on the other hand, creates a conceptual basis for rereading and deeply understanding topics such as quantum information, holography and "continuous creation" (creatio continua) in the context of Islamic cosmology.This article, deepening the general framework formed in the author's research over the years, especially focusing on Islamic and Sufi mysticism, proposes a new synthesis in the field of science and philosophy of religion.
We propose a formal reconstruction of quantum mechanics grounded not in external mathematical abstractions, but in the structured dynamics of subjective experience. The Qualia Abstraction Language (QAL) models physical systems as evolving streams of introspective units—structured sequences of modality, shape, and functional effect—rather than as state vectors in Hilbert space. This approach reimagines core quantum concepts: superposition becomes a form of structured ambiguity; collapse is reframed as an introspective contraction; and entanglement is modeled as semantic resonance across streams of qualia. Drawing on insights from nominalist philosophy and oversight-theoretic limits in AI, we argue that the observer paradox in quantum mechanics reflects not an ontological lacuna, but a linguistic one: the absence of a formal vocabulary for modeling first-person structure. QAL introduces such a vocabulary, providing a morphodynamic framework that embeds the observer within the system and replaces abstract projection with endogenous transformation. We analyze the alignment of QAL with endophysical approaches, contrast it with standard interpretations of quantum theory, and explore its implications for a post-Platonist, introspectively grounded physics.
Background and purpose of the study The rise of quantum technologies necessitates integrating foundational quantum mechanics (QM) concepts into secondary education. However, inherently abstract phenomena like quantum entanglement pose significant pedagogical challenges, as traditional formalism-based approaches are often inaccessible. This study introduces and delineates an innovative, scaffolded pedagogical model designed to foster robust conceptual understanding of entanglement in secondary STEM education, moving beyond reliance on mathematical formalism. The proposed pedagogical model The presented contribution is a detailed pedagogical sequence following a deliberate learning trajectory. It begins with a tangible analogy (magnetic interactions) as a conceptual anchor for correlation, then transitions to computational tools (Bloch sphere visualization, Qiskit simulations). These tools facilitate exploration of quantum concepts weakly addressed by the analogy (e.g., superposition) and allow more authentic engagement with quantum behavior. Underpinned by constructivism, cognitive load theory, and QM education research, the model strategically repurposes the analogy’s limitations as pedagogical opportunities to introduce and contrast key quantum features like non-locality and superposition with classical intuition. The sequence integrates exploration, guided use of representations, and critical comparative discussion. Conclusions and potential implications This paper provides a theoretically grounded pedagogical model for introducing quantum entanglement in secondary STEM education, combining tangible and computational tools in a scaffolded manner. The approach offers potential advantages over traditional methods by providing concrete starting points and explicitly using classical limitations to illuminate quantum principles. While promising, rigorous empirical validation is the essential next step. Future research should investigate the model’s effectiveness in authentic classroom settings, informing curriculum design and teacher development for incorporating QM into secondary STEM.
This paper examines the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics through the lens of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, particularly the concept of “language games” and rule-following. The discourse surrounding quantum mechanics – characterized by terms like superposition, measurement, observer and entanglement – is deeply metaphoric and often stretches the bounds of classical language-use. This creates interpretative confusions not just in science, but in the metaphysical and epistemological debates that follow. Building on Philosophical Investigations, this paper argues that many foundational problems in quantum mechanics (e.g., the measurement problem, wave-function collapse, observer effect) are not exclusively ontological or physical but are entangled in language-use anomalies. The paper proposes that interpretative divergence among schools (Copenhagen, Many-Worlds, QBism, etc.) can be partly understood as conflicts between distinct language games with different rule-sets about what counts as a “measurement”, “reality”, or “causality”. By reading quantum discourse through Wittgensteinian criteria of meaning-as-use, the paper shows how the scientific community performs tacit normativity in deploying quantum terms – frequently without shared agreement on referents. Quantum mechanics, then, becomes a philosophical case study in the fragility and productivity of linguistic scaffolds in scientific theory. Finally, this paper makes a case for a deflationary yet clarifying approach: instead of seeking a “true” interpretation of quantum mechanics, we may better understand the philosophical stakes by analyzing the discursive rules, contextual boundaries, and pragmatic criteria that underlie quantum speech acts.
Abstract This work presents a structural ontology of quantum mechanics grounded in the limits of formal description, rather than in interpretative models. Instead of proposing a new interpretation, modification of equations, or metaphysical extension, the text identifies a missing structural layer implicitly assumed by quantum theory: the necessity of filtration in systems operating beyond formal completeness. Drawing on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems as a structural precedent, the analysis reframes core quantum phenomena — superposition, collapse, entanglement, uncertainty, and wave–particle duality — as expressions of constrained potential rather than paradoxical physical behavior. Quantum mechanics is shown to operate in a pre-physical regime, describing admissible possibilities prior to enforced resolution, while classical physics describes the outcome of irreversible constraint. From this perspective, collapse is not caused by observation, randomness, or consciousness, but by saturation of coherence under applied constraints. Uncertainty emerges as a logical consequence of non-coexistent descriptions within a single formal frame, rather than as an epistemic limitation. The work then generalizes this framework beyond physics, demonstrating that entropy, irreversibility, and systemic collapse arise when systems continue operating beyond their Gödelian limits without a heuristic capable of recognizing formal exhaustion. This leads to a distinction between reintegrative (pre-Gödel) entropy and residual (post-Gödel) entropy regimes, with implications for computation, cognition, artificial systems, and large-scale systemic viability. This document is descriptive, not prescriptive.It introduces no implementations and proposes no cosmological mechanisms.Its contribution is the explicit articulation of structural constraints that any coherent physical or systemic description must satisfy.
'Abdu'l-Bahá stated, “Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress” (Paris Talks, p. 143). I propose and test the principle of the talk “The Acceptance of the Relation between Religion and Science” against the deepest findings of modern physics: Bell's theorem, relational quantum mechanics, and the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. My finding is that the Bahá'í metaphysics of mahabbat (relational love as the creative foundation of existence) is, on my reading, structurally equal in shape to relational quantum mechanics and Whitehead's process philosophy — not analogically, but in the precise sense of sharing the same logical architecture: existence constituted by relationship, properties emerging through relational interaction, and the force sustaining relationship identified as love. I argue that the Bahá'í writings articulate this structure forty years before Whitehead named it philosophically and a century before physics confirmed it experimentally. This chronological priority is not claimed as proof of supernatural authority; it is documented as evidence of independent convergence — the two-wings principle confirmed, on my reading, at the level of structure, not metaphor.
