We need to look no further than the #polycrisis mess that the world is in both generally, & specifically due to the 💩ump regime's chaotic & psychopathic interpretation of indeterminism. #DoubleSpeak is woven from the reified fibers of <DEAD|ALIVE> state superpositions, institutionalized as paradox.

Even the notion that what we're looking at is not what it seems is challenged: Dissent in the ranks of #consensus is just "different interpretations." Everybody gets their own! as if Oprah was in charge. Just don't pull the plug, ofc! We all got bills to pay. www.sciencenews.org/blog/context...

@srdfrench.bsky.social does a nice review here, fleshing-out the key concepts & points that Emily Adlam makes. "Measurement results […] become meaningful and useful for #empirical confirmation only in the context of […] a “model” of the #measurement process" #epistemology bsky.app/profile/malt...

OP "..one way to understand the significance of the measurement problem is that it indicates a breakdown of this ‘progressive bootstrapping procedure’" This #process is a kind of barrier-hopping that jumps from 1 side of the constraint to the other, avoiding the #paradox that requires only 1 truth.

OP "QBism, which maintains that quantum mechanics represents not the states of physical #systems, but an agent’s degree of belief concerning each of the alternative possible experiences that result from a measurement. Ofc, there's some overlap between this #narrative & the #Information_Paradigm.

OP "..invokes certain principles governing self-locating belief to show that it is epistemically rational for agents to believe they will observe outcomes with high probabilities." In the #evolution of the Universe, self-reference is a key feature; logic drives #dynamics. bsky.app/profile/malt...

OP "..if some alternative epistemological framework could be provided that can make sense of an agent-centered account of #quantum mechanics that yet retains the idea of an experience-filled world, of rocks and of trees and everything else" #Music got us into this mess.. ☯️ bsky.app/profile/malt...

OP ".. relations between observers must be regarded as empirical data and predictable, #intersubjectivity ‘should be built properly into the theory’ itself." Here's an idea: let's learn from #history rather than repeat it. Yes, easier said than done. 💭 End obsessions w/integers & #reductionism.

OP "Within #relationalism, the term ‘observer’ covers any and every type of physical system. That means that such cross-perspective links would be created every time any two systems interact" This is the main lobby of #complexity science. 💭 #Nonlinearity changes the superposition principle.

OP "..the multiplicity of possible bases into which the state of the system may be formally decomposed, there will be a correspondingly ‘unimaginably vast’ number of such links" A metric based on #spacetime symmetry enables the 'stacking' of meaning, greatly reducing this. bsky.app/profile/malt...
