This paper reports a "delayed choice quantum eraser" experiment proposed by Scully and Drühl in 1982.
The experimental results demonstrated the possibility of simultaneously
observing both particle-like and wave-like behavior of a quantum via
quantum entanglement. The which-path or both-path information of a
quantum can be erased or marked by its entangled twin even after the
registration of the quantum. -http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/kim-scully/kim-scully-web.htm#fig2
The understanding of the word "erasure," needs to be clarified in relation too, diagrams.
Yes,
since sub-atomic particles are actually 'probability distributions'
prior to being measured - all possible positions and states are part of
their potential until the 'collapse' of the wave function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_integral_formulation -comment section of video
So consider this for example. Space time arises from a 5d world.
Unification of quantum gravity and light, allow us to have a 4
dimensional understanding of the classical world. If you assume that a
2d screen is a 5D world, then what happens behind the screen?
Similarly,
the laws of gravity and light seem totally dissimilar. They obey
different physical assumptions and different mathematics. Attempts to
splice these two forces have always failed. However, if we add one more
dimension, a fifth dimension, to the previous four dimensions of space
and time, then equations governing light and gravity appear to merge
together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Light, in fact, can be
explained in the fifth dimension. In this way, we see the laws of light
and gravity become simpler in five dimensions.Kaku's preface of Hyperspace, page ix para 3
Is it a materialistic view you encounter, or perhaps a point of view
you establish by your choice of perceptible qualities that exist for you
now?? Given there is a potential for meaning, then, one "same" meaning
could not have been encountered by all, for it leaves room for
probability encounters, that reveal different views of the
world.....yet, some will get the probable meaning, as to what exactly I
am saying.
Quantum Theory, is not a materialistic point of view.
What would this look like if we were to say such traveling paths through
the cosmos were defined by the paths of least resistance versus a
probability paths. Clumping, or interference. If you understand what I
am writing then please comment. I would like my thinking to be destroyed
by your reason and your science, or you can help clear up
misconceptions that are forming wrongly as a Bad idea.
In
non-relativistic physics, the principle of least action – or, more
accurately, the principle of stationary action – is a variational
principle that, when applied to the action of a mechanical system, can
be used to obtain the equations of motion for that system by stating a
system follows the path where the average difference between the kinetic
energy and potential energy is minimized or maximized over any time
period. It is called stable if minimized. In relativity, a different
average must be minimized or maximized. The principle can be used to
derive Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian equations of motion. It
was historically called "least" because its solution requires finding
the path that has the least change from nearby paths.[1] Its classical
mechanics and electromagnetic expressions are a consequence of quantum
mechanics, but the stationary action method helped in the development of
quantum mechanics.-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_action

Maybe I should insert here how we might look at gravitational lensing
and gravitation field influences as to how that lensing can distort or
divert the photon's path.......just another way to look at the way
gravitational influences affect the photon's path.....to see that the
least resistance could as a affect not deviate speed of light in one of
those tunnels as a way in which to determine satellite travel? Should
there be a correction here?
My assumptions are generalizations, so I needed to look further to
understand this relationship in regards to abstractions and how one can
see in different ways. I wanted to see as far as I could in
correspondence with the physics, to understand what quantum theory may
mean if and when united with gravity as to a correspondence to
dimensional references.
Today, however, we do have the opportunity not only to observe
phenomena in four and higher dimensions, but we can also interact with
them. The medium for such interaction is computer graphics. Computer
graphic devices produce images on two-dimensional screens. Each point on
the screen has two real numbers as coordinates, and the computer stores
the locations of points and lists of pairs of points which are to be
connected by line segments or more complicated curves. In this way a
diagram of great complexity can be developed on the screen and saved for
later viewing or further manipulation From Flatland to Hypergraphics: Interacting with Higher Dimensions -http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~banchoff/ISR/ISR.html
The simulation argument for me needed to be understood better as
well, so the 2d screen needed for me to be further explained as pixels
are used to highlight the depth of our abstractions. Banchoff
demonstrations in terms of the geometry as an abstraction in geometry
for instance. Topology.
Similarly,
the laws of gravity and light seem totally dissimilar. They obey
different physical assumptions and different mathematics. Attempts to
splice these two forces have always failed. However, if we add one more
dimension, a fifth dimension, to the previous four dimensions of space
and time, then equations governing light and gravity appear to merge

There is then this being incompatible with each other( gravity and
Quantum Theory) that has been talked about that Einstein was after in
explaining things in terms of materialism, and to find, that Quantum
theory is not a materialist explanation. So I find Einsteins attempts
and recognition in later life as a step toward the need for such
unification.
As an example, your screen you are working on is a 2d example of a 5d
reality. Can we indeed create mathematical reality of higher
abstractions? What does that mean anyway? Thomas Banchoff demonstrates
geometrical imaging on 2d screens?
Where would these other universes be in relation to ours? Is there a way to envision it? Well, we live in three spatial dimensions: We move back and forth, up
and down, left to right. And then there's time, so that's our
four-dimensional universe. Another universe might be essentially right
next to ours by going in another direction that's not one of those four.
We might call it "another kind of sideways." See: Riddles of the
Multiverse -http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/johnson-multiverse.html
This screen has no depth other then the representations that we see
are on this screen. You can call them pixels. What does a 5d world mean?
In essence this is not about materialism anymore but a grasp for
uniting space time with quantum theory? The 2d screen is derived from a
5d reality.
The understanding then sought for is that gravity and light are
connected in a 5d world. Is a photon affected as it travels through a
gravity field? What did Einstein mean as to a slide of light?
"Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not
how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some
Dimensionality, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be
confined to limited Dimensionality." from Flatland, by E. A. Abbott
I am assuming the neurobiology affect of quantum processes already is
an an example of the process itself, if it uses quantum mechanical
processes as interference.
Abstract:
Processes undergoing quantum mechanics, exhibit quantum interference
effects.In this case quantum probabilities result to be different from
classical probabilities because they contain an additional main point
that in fact is called the quantum interference term. We use ambiguous
figures to analyse if during perception cognition of human subjects we
have violation of the classical probability field and quantum
interference. The experiments, conducted on a group of 256 subjects,
evidence that we have such quantum effect. Therefore, mental states,
during perception cognition of ambiguous figures, follow quantum
mechanics.pg 2 -Mental states follow quantum mechanics during perception and cognition of ambiguous figures.
-
The use of eeg machinery is already established as interferences patterns, hence, brain wave patterns?
A question that may arise is, as to the definitive state of
entanglement as an ambiguous figure. While interference affects as
ambiguous perceptions, which arise as mental patterns as wave forms
prior too? Thus, the collapse of the wave function, as an entanglement.
An indication arises from quantum mechanics. Quantum theory represents
the most confirmed and celebrated theory of science. Started in 1927 by
founder fathers as Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Pauli, it has
revolutionized our understanding of the physical reality in both
scientific and epistemological fields.pg 5
The image recognition could be characterized by synchronization of
firings in a neural network responsible for image recognition. Such a
synchronization may be conceived as a stabilization to a fixed frequency
of firings, and thus can be considered as a version of the collapse of
the wave function. pg 8
Ambiguous perception. A good example is bistable perception, which concerns alternating views of ambiguous figures, such as the Necker cube. Atmanspacher, Filk, and R€omer (2004) and Atmanspacher and Filk (2010) developed a detailed model describing a number of psychophysical features of bistable perception that have been experimentally demonstrated. In addition, Atmanspacher and Filk (2010, 2013) predicted that particular distinguished states in bistable perception may violate the temporal Bell inequalities—a litmus test for quantum behavior. Other research applying quantum theory to perception of ambiguous figures has been carried out by Conte et al. (2009).pg 9 -http://www.thedocc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/J18.-Wang-et-al-2013-quantum-cognition.pdf
The lines can change perspective and position.... as if the cube is protruding outward or inward(The
orientation of the Necker cube can also be altered by shifting the
observer's point of view. When seen from apparent above, one face tends
to be seen closer; and in contrast, when seen from a subjective
viewpoint that is below, a different face comes to the fore) as to describe it's geometric shape. Other examples here can be found(Rubin's vase -(These
types of stimuli are both interesting and useful because they provide
an excellent and intuitive demonstration of the figure–ground
distinction the brain makes during visual perception.).
The Necker cube is used in epistemology (the study of knowledge) and provides a counter-attack against naïve realism.
Naïve realism (also known as direct or common-sense realism) states
that the way we perceive the world is the way the world actually is. The
Necker cube seems to disprove this claim because we see one or the
other of two cubes, but really, there is no cube there at all: only a
two-dimensional drawing of twelve lines. We see something which is not
really there, thus (allegedly) disproving naïve realism. This criticism
of naïve realism supports representative realism. Necker cube -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necker_cube#Epistemology
Bold added to emphasize, direct and indirect
realism- a dualism I believe occurs here, points toward the foundation,
as Bohr looking at William James which lead to Heisenberg Uncertainty
principal(Quantum Cognition and Bounded Rationality PG 27 to Pg
30)....and other assumptions.
There are no phenomenological experiments to suggest quantum cognition
is real other then to see how the model works in relation too, questions
and answers, or, to declare entanglement as a self evident state in my
view.
The
Necker cube is a paradigmatic example for bistable perception where
pattern reversal obeys a particular probability distribution.
Atmanspacher, Filk and Römer (2004) discussed this switching dynamics in
terms of the quantum Zeno effect where “observation” (here attending to
a percept) increases the dwell-time of an otherwise fast decaying
unobserved state. Quantum Cognition, Bistable perception
Regarding consciousness then.
For example, subjects who stare continuously at a Necker cube usually
report that they experience it "flipping" between two 3D configurations,
even though the stimulus itself remains the same.[72] The objective is
to understand the relationship between the conscious awareness of
stimuli (as indicated by verbal report) and the effects the stimuli have
on brain activity and behavior. In several paradigms, such as the
technique of response priming,.[73] the behavior of subjects is clearly influenced by stimuli for which they report no awarenessConsciousness -
Awareness as irrationality shows then, that such information as to
reaching our cognitive status as irrationality, can move to identify
with a self evident position. This may help to show the process of
inductive deductive relationship which leads to an over arching position
as to being self evident. Aristotle, did not jettison Plato.
The first, “contextuality,” is a way to understand interference effects found with inferences and decisions under conditions of uncertainty. The second, “quantum entanglement,” allows cognitive phenomena to be modelled in non-reductionist ways. Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision (PDF)
Yes contextualization matters, and it is not just the math, but avenues to understanding depth psychology. This distinction was pointed out twice on rationality with regard perception and Jung, as it was written by Blutner ( -http://www.blutner.de ) One might find some information on his personal interests that I presented as a paper written by him that might help.
I did not mention his interest to music for further research (Modelling tonal attraction: Tonal hierarchies, interval cycles, and quantum probabilities.)
I mentioned the Necker Cube for a reason. If it is not an entangle state what does contextual mean? "Spread out" as if a parable? What is the essence of the parable as it is taken to mean to you becomes the entangled state. What did you get from it? Alternating back and forth the Necker Cube becomes an example of this process to say, how one can transfer back and forth between contextualize and the entanglement.
In the present literature, there are several approaches that seek for a general justification of quantum probabilities in the context of cognitive science. For example, Kitto (2008) considers very complex systems such as the growth and evolution of natural languages and other cultural systems and argues that the description of such systems cannot be separated from their context of interaction. She argues that quantum interaction formalisms provide a natural model of these systems “because a mechanism for dealing with such contextual dependency is inbuilt into the quantum formalism itself”. Hence, the question of why quantum interaction is necessary in modelling cognitive phenomena is answered by referring to its nature as a complex epistemic system.Quantum Cognition -
It is widely accepted that consciousness or, more generally, mental activity is in some way correlated to the behavior of the material brain. Since quantum theory is the most fundamental theory of matter that is currently available, it is a legitimate question to ask whether quantum theory can help us to understand consciousness. Several programmatic approaches answering this question affirmatively, proposed in recent decades, will be surveyed. It will be pointed out that they make different epistemological assumptions, refer to different neurophysiological levels of description, and use quantum theory in different ways. For each of the approaches discussed, problematic and promising features will be equally highlighted.Quantum Approaches to Consciousness -
As related earlier, if it's not in the brain where and how is quantum theory being used?
Thinking means evaluating information or ideas rationally and logically. Jung called this a rational function, meaning that it involves decision making or judging, rather than the simple intake of information. Feeling, like thinking, is a matter of evaluating information, this time by weighing one’s overall emotional response. Sensing means what it says: getting information by means of the senses. A sensing person is good at looking and listening and generally getting to know the world. Jung called this an irrational function, meaning that it involved perception rather than judgment of information. INtuiting is a kind of perception that works outside of the usual conscious processes. It is irrational or perceptual, like sensing, but comes from the complex integration of large amounts of information, rather than simple seeing or hearing. Jung said it was like seeing around corners.4 Two qubits for C.G. Jung’s theory of personality R. Blutner, E. Hochnadel / Cognitive Systems Research 11 (2010) 243–259 (pdf)
The contextualization of this example above in quote may help to see how
Quantum Cognition is understood from my perspective. If you are aware
of such a state as INtuiting, and if irrationality is to be
discerned from such an examination, how is it possible to receive the
understanding as, "judgement and decision, and even belief, before it
is made. Before one becomes entangled? To withhold Judgement, as if to
exist in such a state, means that information, is retained, as if a
parable, and while holding the information "in that state," aware of
what can happen if you become entangled?
Fig. 1. Two pairs of opposite psychological functions: Thinking and
Feeling [rational opposites], Sensation/iNtuition [irrational opposites].
Jung takes this two-dimensional representation in order to demonstrate
the dependencies between the psychological functions. For example,
Thinking and Feeling are opposites and conflict with each other (assuming
one fixed attitude). However, their effect can be modified by using the
irrational functions (Sensation and iNtuition, respectively). The numbers
enumerate eight sectors in dependence of what are the two dominant
functions (see Table 1 and the associated text for more explanations). See Paper above for information
One has to know in advance that such a decision entangles and that the understanding of the Necker cube in advance, gives an alternating relation of the parable and entanglement, as a choice before the entanglement happens.
***
In abstraction, information is liken too, the ability to gather information. You are not making a decision other then to present the equation as a source of information. This is currently be described as the quantifiable. It is a parable of sorts, until, the equation leads to a pure state. A self evident state. Then, you are entangled.
So are people just incapable of thinking logically? Maybe. But in recent years a number of investigators have developed the view that those supposedly irrational choices merely reflect the fact that people’s brains are guided by the mathematical principles of quantum physics. Quantum math makes human irrationality more sensible
Now you must understand while this supposed question of the understanding behind a Platonist heaven has some place here in the conversation, I had been pushing forward. I am of course interested in the science, so as to understand reality. So what follows has been on the books of metaphysics for sometime it seems. I want to clarify these thoughts and ideas in context of today's science. What is truth and what is not.
This video had been cut to form "another video." It is important to see how this was done. Go to the time of the original video on display of 20:15 and see where this continues in second video.
Perception, is an interesting subject.
Yet
logically another non-dual option remains, namely virtualism, that a
mind-independent, non-physical reality outputs the physical world
by processing. In this admittedly radical view, the "ghostly" world of quantum theory is
real and the physical world is like a screen image thrown up The Virtual Reality Conjecture -http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1110/1110.3307.pdf
On page 16 of VR conjecture I noticed a link at bottom of page that lead me to a video that I thought interesting. But, at the same time, the end, was quite shocking( See: The Real Absolute Being at 20:15)
The shift over to a universal permanence by name, had me wondering how
many had jumped the gun, to have given this reality, a name? Advanced
the issue of religion, as was entitled by name to see that it occupied,
as if a place. A place in Plato's Heaven. So you choose who by name
your (Absolute Real Being), Metaphysics has then lead us to this?
But honestly, you have to see the first part up to 20:15 and especially
at 15:26 with regard to the perceived. Now, how guilty should I have
been to see that I held some similar belief, that I may refer to the
Platonist heaven as a function of the wave, now sees some Islamic
fundamentalism that takes hold. No, it does not have to go by the name
of Allah as it is spoke of by inference as that of the Holy Grail, in
original video?
So while having been deflected as to follow a link on a page, the real
issue here is what the first part of the video is speaking too. Any
problems with this to help identify the Self?
Now of course how this video was used is important. The issue of Quantum cognition is important to see some perspectives as they have been revealed as metaphysical as well an understanding that we are in need of qualifying the process of sight, as issues of Quantum Theory?

Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision
Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic models. This innovative book by Jerome R. Busemeyer and Peter D. Bruza argues that, actually, the underlying mathematical structures from quantum theory provide a much better account of human thinking than traditional models. They introduce the foundations for modelling probabilistic-dynamic systems using two aspects of quantum theory. The first, “contextuality,” is a
way to understand interference effects found with inferences and decisions under conditions of uncertainty. The second, “quantum entanglement,” allows cognitive phenomena to be modelled in non-reductionist ways. Employing these principles drawn from quantum theory allows us to view human cognition and decision in a totally new light. Introducing the basic principles in an easy-to-follow way, this book does not assume a physics background or a
quantum brain and comes complete with a tutorial and fully worked-out applications in important areas of cognition and decision.Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision -
In relation to the parable and what is distinct in the parable, was an example that I thought to bring forward as I understood it. This help me to see how quantum cognition is used(contextualized and entangled") and are looked at. Without a reductionist view, entangled takes on new meaning as to make a judgement or a decision. To make a distinction, means that in the parable you have decided, while interference, is a type of wave.
The necker Cube is important here.
The Necker cube is used in epistemology (the study of knowledge) and provides a counter-attack against naïve realism. Naïve realism (also known as direct or common-sense realism) states that the way we perceive the world is the way the world actually is. The Necker cube seems to disprove this claim because we see one or the other of two cubes, but really, there is no cube there at all: only a two-dimensional drawing of twelve lines. We see something which is not really there, thus (allegedly) disproving naïve realism. This criticism of naïve realism supports representative realism. Necker cube -
Bold added to emphasize, direct and indirect realism.
Again, I am not qualified to the extent to say parable is a good example, but, I think this will help greatly to look at as an example and the Necker cube, as given in the following quotes.
The Necker cube is a paradigmatic example for bistable perception where pattern reversal obeys a particular probability distribution. Atmanspacher, Filk and Römer (2004) discussed this switching dynamics in terms of the quantum Zeno effect where “observation” (here attending to a percept) increases the dwell-time of an otherwise fast decaying unobserved state. Quantum Cognition, Bistable perception -
I think by giving examples one might understand this better, and I wonder if there are others who understand, who can help describe the physics of, in the way it was here. Quantum theory is essential here then. Judgement and decisions, are entangled states.
Niels Bohr, one of the founding fathers of quantum physics, suspected
that it could provide insights into human psychology. Now a new field
called quantum cognition is exploring how quantum math can explain some
seemingly irrational human behavior. See: Quantum math makes human irrationality more sensible
Quantum cognition community states that the activity of such neural networks can produce effects which are formally described as interference (of probabilities) and entanglement. In principle, the community does not try to create the concrete models of quantum (-like) representation of information in the brain
