[Fis] it from bit

[Louis Kauffman]

QM always works by considering some formulation of “all possibilities”. In a laboratory experiment it may be controlled so that the set of possible outcomes is bounded.
For example in a double slit experiment, the screen is bounded. We will ignore those electrons that veered off toward Betelgeuse. Then you can in principle calculate phases for each trajectory that hits the screen and get an answer. Your answer is approximate. Thats how it is. Sums of many of the possibilities are beyond mathematics ability to have integration theories. I expect it will always be so.

In what sense do you think the same laws apply to both, QM vs Classical Physics. In one sense Yes: both live in the Newtonian Paradigm, and it is of real interest that there is the "Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics” here. Hm, Lou too, does that suggest that if the set of Possibilities are bounded and not open, mathematics can work in definable ways that it cannot work if the The Possible is open and growing and cannot be deduced?
