Hi Joe, Interesting, but I do not understand it. I do not make such a profound thing of undefinable. For every definable thing there are 100 or more undefinable. Beauty is undefinable. Things that can be defined are derived through language. Any definition leaves most of the thing out. There are insufficient words to define Dog, for example. One can keep talking forever trying to do so.
Quantum evolution simply means Step evolution. It is impossible to draw a direct connection from one step to the next. It is called quantum since it resembles a particle getting from here to there without going in between.
