I don't think that Bell's inequality shows indeterminacy, m3aning randomness,
or chance. It does show entanglement. There are quantum that are reversible
(some are macroscopic). In most measurements there is quantum decoherence,
which breaks up entanglement, and has been compared to thermodynami
Hi All,
I have enjoyed reading the FIS posts over the past couple of weeks and it has
raised a very fundamental question for me. There has been lots of discussion
here over the years on questions that are at least tangential to my current
question, but I’m not sure it has been considered in qui

I make the last remark about "physical information". The main
problem of quantum physics is to justify so called

Neumann. Quantum randomness, in contrast to classic

from a foundational vista and framed in a context of artificial
intelligence. For those who have not seen it:

Dear FIS,
The noble conquest of choosing the right method of understanding
information divides this learned society. Some argue that pre-Platonic
approaches towards understanding Nature are pre-scientific and therefore
can be dismissed out of hand.
Let us imagine that the Neanderthals have mai
