The Quantum World is not Built up from Correlations

The paper shows that esotericism is the area of bifurcation of knowledge in which new trajectories of thinking are born. Further, in accordance with the principle of Occam's Razor, some of them are eliminated as not corresponding to the principle of least action. The rest move into the field of regular science. It is shown that our world is a system of nested resonators, which is consistent with Descartes' idea that the world is built from a hierarchy of vortices. This also explains the great importance of boundary conditions in mathematics, since the boundaries of the resonator define the shape of the vortex. At the same time, the discreteness of energy, which is a characteristic feature of all quantum processes, becomes clear, since only isolated structures can persistently exist in the resonator. The general wave function of an entity is proposed as the product of a number of wave functions corresponding to each scale of the Universe. A model is proposed in accordance with which knowledge becomes scientific when the trajectory of thinking and the real trajectory of the system correlate with each other. A model is proposed in accordance with which knowledge becomes scientific when the trajectory of thinking and the real trajectory of the system correlate with each other. This correlation is built using mathematical signs. Since both the real trajectory and the trajectory of thinking are cyclical, their synchronization indicates the quantum entanglement of the real and the symbolic. The Jungian concept of synchronicity is being clarified. At any moment, by explicating a sequence of signs, we reproduce reality. All particles are entangled with each other to varying degrees. Therefore, the task of the experimenter is not to create entanglement, but rather to disentangle the object of study so that it can be studied autonomously.

I. Pauli's exclusion principle can be understood as an instance of the subjectivity of our knowledge. We are built out of only a particular world constructed according to one of the non-combining patterns possible under the laws of quantum mechanics. Therefore we are capable of having sense perceptions of only that world.II. Dirac's theory of the proton shows why Pauli's principle governs the world.

This article presents a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics. It extends the meaning of “measurement” to include all property-indicating facts. Intrinsically, space is undifferentiated: There are no points on which a world of locally instantiated physical properties could be built. Instead, reality is built on facts, in the sense that the properties of things are extrinsic, or supervenient on property-indicating facts. The actual extent to which the world is spatially and temporally differentiated (that is, the extent to which spatiotemporal relations and distinctions are warranted by the facts) is necessarily limited. Notwithstanding that the state vector does nothing but assign probabilities, quantum mechanics affords a complete understanding of the actual world. If there is anything that is incomplete, it is the actual world, but its incompleteness exists only in relation to a conceptual framework that is more detailed than the actual world. Two deep-seated misconceptions are responsible for the interpretational difficulties associated with quantum mechanics: the notion that the spatial and temporal aspects of the world are adequately represented by sets with the cardinality of the real numbers, and the notion of an instantaneous state that evolves in time. The latter is an unwarranted (in fact, incoherent) projection of our apparent “motion in time” into the world of physics. Equally unwarranted, at bottom, is the use of causal concepts. There nevertheless exists a “classical” domain in which language suggestive of nomological necessity may be used. Quantum mechanics not only is strictly consistent with the existence of this domain but also presupposes it in several ways.
