<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It it seems to me this position runs into a Leibniz "bind": if AQI's are completely abstract, how can they form anything, let alone matter/energy with which they do not share properties? To the extent that quanta are quanta of energy, is it then correct to call them AQI's? In your response to Jason, you make it clear that this is not the case. The AQI's are units of action, but my comment still holds.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The only solution I see is to adopt a principle that All have never explicitly accepted, namely that, AQI's are and are not abstract; they exist and do not exist at the same time. Understood in this way, they could form a basis for reality and its non-Boolean logic, now with apologies to Louis.</span>

Dear Dr. Goernitz,
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: large;">
Can AQI exist independently from its context - or some larger structure (matter or energy)? By "exist," I mean stability with a relevant longer time.
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: large;">
By "longer time," I mean in the range of human perception, even with the help of cognitive instruments. Just curious.
</div>

Best regards - Jason

Dear All,
<br>
I would like to start by wishing everyone a healthy, successful and
<br>
hopefully more peaceful new year.
<br>
<br>
Now a few comments from me on the current contributions, regarding
<br>
information and meaning.
<br>
<br>
Natural science seeks rules and laws for the processes in nature.
<br>
However, due to the expansion of the cosmos, there are never two
<br>
completely identical situations. For an individual case, however, the
<br>
idea of a rule is meaningless.
<br>
<br>
Rules require similarity, laws require – not only in jurisprudence – equality.
<br>
<br>
Similarity and equality arise from sweeping what appears to be
<br>
insignificant in the situations under consideration under the carpet.
<br>
Changes to inanimate matter require the expenditure of energy, but
<br>
living things can also be influenced by meaningful information.
<br>
<br>
Scientific explanation starts from simple structures to explain
<br>
complicated structures.
<br>
Chemistry explains the biochemical basis of life. Quantum mechanics
<br>
provides the theoretical basis for chemistry.
<br>
<br>
The simplest quantum structures that are mathematically possible have
<br>
only a two-dimensional state space. It therefore makes sense to call
<br>
them quantum bits.
<br>
The particles of quantum mechanics and, with that, the quantum field
<br>
theories can be constructed from these structures.
<br>
This means that matter can be understood as a special form of such
<br>
quantum bits.
<br>
<br>
It has been known for some time that quantum theory relativizes
<br>
distinctions that are important for everyday life. E=mc^2 shows the
<br>
equivalence of matter with motion, i.e. with one of its properties.
<br>
The distinction between force and matter is reduced to the distinction
<br>
between fermions and bosons, which can be converted into one another
<br>
under certain conditions.
<br>
<br>
These quantum structures with a two-dimensional Hilbert space are to
<br>
be thought of as absolute and completely abstract, not as properties
<br>
of a material or energetic structure. I call them AQIs.
<br>
<br>
The AQIs form matter, energy, as well as the properties of matter and energy.
<br>
<br>
Life only emerged relatively late in the development of the cosmos,
<br>
and only for living things can something become meaningful.
<br>
