[Fis] (no subject)

[Prof. Dr. Thomas Görnitz]

Dear All,
I would like to start by wishing everyone a healthy, successful and  
hopefully more peaceful new year.

Now a few comments from me on the current contributions, regarding  
information and meaning.

Natural science seeks rules and laws for the processes in nature.
However, due to the expansion of the cosmos, there are never two  
completely identical situations. For an individual case, however, the  
idea of a rule is meaningless.

Rules require similarity, laws require – not only in jurisprudence – equality.

Similarity and equality arise from sweeping what appears to be  
insignificant in the situations under consideration under the carpet.
Changes to inanimate matter require the expenditure of energy, but  
living things can also be influenced by meaningful information.

Scientific explanation starts from simple structures to explain  
complicated structures.
Chemistry explains the biochemical basis of life. Quantum mechanics  
provides the theoretical basis for chemistry.

The simplest quantum structures that are mathematically possible have  
only a two-dimensional state space. It therefore makes sense to call  
them quantum bits.
The particles of quantum mechanics and, with that, the quantum field  
theories can be constructed from these structures.
This means that matter can be understood as a special form of such  
quantum bits.

It has been known for some time that quantum theory relativizes  
distinctions that are important for everyday life. E=mc^2 shows the  
equivalence of matter with motion, i.e. with one of its properties.  
The distinction between force and matter is reduced to the distinction  
between fermions and bosons, which can be converted into one another  
under certain conditions.

These quantum structures with a two-dimensional Hilbert space are to  
be thought of as absolute and completely abstract, not as properties  
of a material or energetic structure. I call them AQIs.

The AQIs form matter, energy, as well as the properties of matter and energy.

Life only emerged relatively late in the development of the cosmos,  
and only for living things can something become meaningful.
