*The Paraconsistent Logic of Quantum Superpositions* https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.3121
Physical superpositions exist both in classical and in quantum physics. However, what is exactly meant by ‘superposition’ in each case is extremely different. In this paper we discuss some of the multiple interpretations which exist in the literature regarding superpositions in quantum mechanics. We argue that all these interpretations have something in common: they all attempt to avoid ‘contradiction’. We argue in this paper, in favor of the importance of developing a new interpretation of superpositions which takes into account contradiction, as a key element of the formal structure of the theory, “right from the start”. In order to show the feasibility of our interpretational project we present an outline of a paraconsistent approach to quantum superpositions which attempts to account for the contradictory properties present in general within quantum superpositions. This approach must not be understood as a closed formal and conceptual scheme but rather as a first step towards a different type of understanding regarding quantum superpositions. ... Quantum computation makes use of the multiple flow of information in the superposition even considering (in principle) contradictory paths. Also quantum cryptography uses the relation between contradictory terms in order to send messages avoiding classical spies. At a formal level, the path integral approach takes into account the multiple contradictory paths within two points. Thus, since both the formalism and experiments seem to consider ‘contradictory elements’ within quantum mechanics, we argue that it can be of deep interest to advance towards a formalism which takes contradiction into account “right from the start”. ... other refs: *Is there some place for contradictions?* *From paraconsistent logic to Physics* http://www.irafs.org/materials/slides_irafs_2018/lambert.pdf *A Probabilistic Paraconsistent Logical Model for Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Using Interlaced Bilattices with Conflation and Bernoulli Distribution* https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=79394 @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
