assuming one has some mental image/concept behind his understanding of the word ‘electron’, for instance - then how does one conceive of its being?
what do we think regarding the nature of a single quantum ‘particle’, or wave, or both or neither - err, what
should we think of an electron as something nevertheless identical with itself and extant in time, temporally in spacial isolation? (perhaps they only appear to disappear and reappear, but not really) - or do they exist only and for precisely their moment (collapse, the very quintessence of a moment?)
consciousness? what, if any, role might or must it play?
are we justified in our inquiry into the nature of such things?
I think of quanta (as in “quantum physics”) as wills (to power). They are wills of a certain, or uncertain, strength. Uncertain; but approximate. We can only think of their strength as certain, though (vectors of a certain length). This fixing however is the work of our will to power, our interpretation.
