I wrote a part of the thread on Quine-statements, based on the Hamkin's 
work where I only looked at the slides and not yet the paper, where I 
proposed doing this with quantum computer. I wrote a couple of elementary 
Python codes for the QE machine IBM has to prepare states and run then 
through Hadamard gates. The thought occurred to me that this Quining could 
be done quantum mechanically as a set of Hadamard gates that duplicate a 
qubit or an bipartite entangled qubit. This is a part of my ansatz that a 
measurement is a sort of Gödel numbering of quantum states as qubit data in 
other quantum states. 

Quantum computations are mapped into an orthomodular lattice that does not 
obey the distributive property. The distributive law of p and (q or r) = (p 
and q) or (p and r) fails. The reason is due to the Heisenberg uncertainty 
principle. Suppose we let p = momentum in the interval [0, P], q = position 
in the interval [-x, x] and r = particle in interval [x, y]. The 
proposition p and (q or r) is true if this spread in momentum [0, P] is 
equal to the reciprocal of the spread of position [-x, y] with

P = ħ/sqrt(y^2 + x^2). 

The distributive law would then mean 

P = ħ/|y| or P = ħ/|x|

which is clearly false. This is the major difference with quantum logic and 
Boolean classical logic. These lattices of quantum logic have polytope 
realizations.

This is in fact another way of realizing that QM can't be built up from 
classical physics. If retrocausality were the case then quantum 
orthomodular lattices, which act on convex sets on L^p spaces with p = ½ 
would be somehow built from lattices acting on convex sets with p → ∞.

A quantum state has a set of quantum numbers, say spin, momentum, charge, 
isospin etc, and it really is best not to see that the particle has these 
numbers, but that these quantum numbers ARE the particle or quantum state. 
It is not worth talking about a particle as a “something” which possesses 
these quantities, but rather that these quantities are what define a 
particle. So a quantum state or particle is then determined by various 
vertices on a lattice or polytope and we dispense with any metaphysics of 
there being some other “substance.”

This is most likely my last entry in this thread as it has exceeded 100. 
When things start to paginate I find it annoying.
