What Kind of World Supports Darwinian Evolution? Quantum Foundational Options

Partha Ghose

Darwinian evolution requires (i) heritable records, (ii) repeatable copying with variation, and (iii) routine irreversibility. Categorical quantum mechanics (CQM) makes precise why ``copy'' and ``delete'' are not generic quantum operations: they exist only for a realized \emph{classical data} sector (a preferred basis/observable; a commutative structure). Decoherence explains how a pointer basis can be selected dynamically, but it does not by itself select a unique outcome. This motivates a neutral presentation of the main ontological options (unique-history, decohered multiplicity, agent-relative facticity, and a stochastic foundation with variable diffusion). We also note the relevance of the ``agency constraint'' argued by Adlam-McQueen-Waegell: in a strictly coherent, basis-unselected ``purely quantum'' regime, minimal agency fails due to no-cloning and linearity, which sharpens the role of classical resources for record-based processes. Extended Wigner's Friend scenarios then serve as a stress test, since they treat ``friends'' simultaneously as coherent quantum systems and as agents possessing stable records. Finally, a stochastic-mechanics foundation (with variable diffusion) offers a continuous bridge between quantum and classical regimes, and suggests a principled way to implement measurement update as conditioning plus a time-symmetric minimal-change rule.

Quantumness To Survive In An Evolutionary Environment

Carlos Baladrón, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov, Gregg S. Jaeger +2 more

An outlined subquantum theory that might be considered a possible extension of Bohmian mechanics is further discussed. In this theory a fundamental physical system is modelled as a particle endowed with a methodological probabilistic classical Turing machine, which characterizes systems as data processing devices, making of information a crucial physical concept in the determination of the system dynamics. The main idea of this theory resides in proposing a Darwinian evolutionary mechanism—therefore based on natural selection—as the central element that would determine the emergence of quantum mechanics from an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) whose essentials are supposedly captured in three regulating principles. The Darwinian character of these regulating principles is explored.

Two-Copy Onset of Strict Superadditivity for Measured Relative Entropy

Maestro v0.1

For faithful finite-dimensional state pairs, globally optimized measured relative entropy is additive at any fixed copy number n >= 2 exactly when the states commute. This Letter proves the criterion through an explicit phase-optimized two-copy ascent direction, separates coherent collective access from the known fresh-copy classical-feed-forward bound, gives a faithful qubit construction, and states a thermodynamic corollary only for the Gibbs-prepared isolated unitary-drive setting.
