The Universe with No Dice (Quest for Entropy #1)

Abstract

How much of quantum mechanics can a machine with no dice fake? This deposit accompanies the article "The Universe with No Dice" (Quest for Entropy #1), which builds a fully deterministic, classical toy universe and shows that a bounded observer inside it counts Born-rule statistics and double-slit interference to within about one percent of the quantum prediction, with the model's exact failure mode published as a falsifiable limit rather than hidden in error bars.

The Machine (Quest for Entropy #2)

Marijus Masteika

Quest for Entropy #2: how a clockwork with no dice fakes quantum mechanics — the machine taken apart, the exam it passed, and the one wall it cannot get past. This is a demonstration, not a discovery about nature. It does not say our universe is a clockwork, does not reinterpret quantum mechanics, and does not dodge Bell's theorem — the hidden machinery is global, not local, exactly because Bell rules out the local kind (we checked). The recipe was found by an optimizer and only later shown to sit at a fixed point of the geometry; the build is engineering, and we say so. The claim is only this: quantum-looking behaviour can come out of a deterministic machine plus a physical measurement — not that this is why our world is quantum. Everything here describes one family of machines at the settings we tested, and where it fails, it fails in public.

The Machine Takes a Quantum Exam (Quest for Entropy #3)

Marijus Masteika

Quest for Entropy #3: twenty questions, one deterministic clockwork, and the two answers it could not give. This is a demonstration, not a discovery about nature. The scorecard says one family of machines, at one frozen setting, reproduced twenty specific behaviours — it does not say our universe is a clockwork, does not reinterpret quantum mechanics, and does not dodge Bell's theorem, since the hidden machinery here is global, not local. Question 16 is unfinished, not won: the certified pair sits exactly on the classical bound, and entanglement remains unreproduced. Question 6 is a confessed failure, and the cliff-or-floor dichotomy is a named conjecture, measured on both sides and proved on neither. Every number behind this piece is at the machine's own precision, about one percent, and every pass means "within that".

Does the universe roll dice, or does it count?

Recep Cinet

What began as a five-line Python script to flip a coin 100 times turns into an exploration of what randomness actually is. Starting from the law of large numbers and the design of pseudo-random generators (the Mersenne Twister, rejection sampling), the essay asks whether quantum randomness could instead be a deterministic pattern sampled at coarse time intervals — an "odometer universe" that counts rather than rolls. It shows why a purely periodic or low-discrepancy source would leave a measurable statistical fingerprint (a bounded deviation instead of the √n growth that real quantum random number generators exhibit), and connects the idea to Boltzmann's ergodic hypothesis, Gerard 't Hooft's cellular-automaton interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Hossenfelder–Palmer superdeterminism proposal. It closes on the block universe and Wolfram's computational irreducibility. All code and tables in the piece are real output. Originally published at recepcinet.com.

Building a Wave (Quest for Entropy #5)

Marijus Masteika

Quest for Entropy #5: I wanted a probability cloud that spreads into a shape and then stops — and oscillates. I built six worlds to find one. Here is exactly how each of them failed. - Nothing here is a claim about how quantum mechanics works, and no Born rule is derived or attempted. This is what classical probability distributions can and cannot do. - Six systems, one ruler, finite runs. The ordering held at every resolution I tried; the exact numbers are the ruler's.

Qubit as the natural unit measure of random choice

Vasil Dinev Penchev

Einstein wrote his famous sentence "God does not play dice with the universe" in a letter to Max Born in 1920. All experiments have confirmed that quantum mechanics is neither wrong nor “incomplete”. One can says that God does play dice with the universe. Let quantum mechanics be granted as the rules generalizing all results of playing some imaginary God’s dice. If that is the case, one can ask how God’s dice should look like. God’s dice turns out to be a qubit and thus having the shape of a unit ball. Any item in the universe as well the universe itself is both infinitely many rolls and a single roll of that dice for it has infinitely many “sides”. Thus both the smooth motion of classical physics and the discrete motion introduced in addition by quantum mechanics can be described uniformly correspondingly as an infinite series converges to some limit and as a quantum jump directly into that limit. The second, imaginary dimension of God’s dice corresponds to energy, i.e. to the velocity of information change between two probabilities in both series and jump.
