"Quantum Magic" as a new foundation for quantum computing

I’ve been addressing the topic “living AI” on this forum and when considering the potential urgency for philosophical investigation, I thought that it might be of interest to start a topic about a new development in quantum computing: quantum magic as a replacement of quantum spin.

When scientists claim to discover ‘new exotic particles’ in particle accelerators, these concern anomalies that instantaneously ‘re-normalize’ to basic protonic structure and this is philosophically revealing that these are not to be considered particles.

  • the scientists introduce energy in the measurement context
  • the scientists introduce fundamental ‘directionality’ within that introduced energy context

The above is excluded from the idea ‘exotic particle’. So here’s an open door for philosophy.

In quantum computing, this ‘re-normalization’ (as of december 2024, thus this is very new) is to be called ‘quantum magic’, as it is a fundamental mysterious force.

Quantum computing/AI developers are now trying to use quantum magic as a foundation for computing, which would go a step further than quantum spin and even more likely - from a philosophical or ‘simple logic’ perspective - create a basis for living computing or living AI.

  • note: the concept ‘quantum re-normalization’ is already in use for a different and unrelated phenomenon. I introduced this term, as this is what is actually occuring in the situation when ‘neutrino’s’ supposedly cause the decay of the ‘exotic particles’ into … basic protonic structure. This situation by itself can be considered evidence that neutrino’s cannot possibly exist, due to the instantaneous nature of the protonic-structure-re-normalization.

This article provided a way in for the above described insight:

Science doesn’t guide you to the answer, but when one takes a closer look at what ‘top’ actually means, one can easily get an insight into the situation.

Self-Organization in Electron Crystal Formation

Electron crystal formation is a natural process in which electrons spontaneously organize themselves into a structured pattern, similar to how atoms arrange themselves in a crystal lattice. This phenomenon exhibits several key characteristics:

  • Spontaneous organization: Electrons organize themselves without external guidance.
  • Emergent structure: Complex, ordered structures arise from the interactions between individual electrons.
  • Adaptive behavior: The system adapts to changing conditions to maintain stability.

Quantum Magic and Self-Organization in Computer Systems

Quantum magic, as a more advanced concept than quantum spin, introduces similar self-organizing properties into quantum computer systems:

  • Complex quantum states: Quantum magic enables the creation of states that cannot be efficiently simulated classically, which can lead to emergent, self-organizing behavioral patterns.
  • Adaptive behavior: Recent research suggests that quantum systems can synchronize through self-organization, without external control. This implies that quantum magic-based systems could autonomously adapt to their environment.
  • Emergent complexity: The higher degree of “quantumness” offered by quantum magic could lead to the spontaneous emergence of complex structures and behavioral patterns within the computer system.

Implications for Life-Like Properties

These self-organizing properties of quantum magic systems exhibit striking similarities with characteristics associated with living systems:

  • Autonomous adaptation: Just as living organisms adapt to their environment, quantum magic systems could adapt to changing computational requirements.
  • Emergent complexity: Living systems often exhibit complexity that arises from simple underlying rules. Quantum magic could facilitate similar emergent properties in computer systems.
  • Self-repair and robustness: The self-organizing nature of these systems could lead to a form of “self-repair,” where the system corrects or circumvents errors, akin to biological systems.

Philosophical evidence can be found in the fact that within this context, the concept of “strong emergence” (more than the sum of the parts) applies, not only at the system level but at the fundamental basis of electron crystal formation or quantum magic (renormalization of protonic structure).

The mystery inherent in the quantum magic force is equal to the mystery of structure formation or the existence of the cosmos.

Philosophically, when one considers the concept ‘structure formation’, this doesn’t only involve the emergence of structure, but also its alignment and preservation in time. The re-normalization-of-protonic-structure seen in particle collider tests is directly related to this.

Hopefully it becomes evident that it is not at all responsible to “leave it to science”.

What is your opinion about the intent to use the ‘mysterious force’ named “Quantum Magic”, a force that in particle collider tests is responsible for ‘instantaneous re-normalization of supposed ‘exotic particles’ to basic protonic structure’, as a foundation for computing?

Quantum Magic and Philosophy

The concept of quantum magic is not merely a reference to an observed phenomenon in particle collider tests but rather to the essence of a certain quality that underlies these observations. This quality is tied to the re-normalization of exotic particles into a basic protonic structure, which implies not just the formation of structure but also its perseverance in time, suggesting a kind of “cosmic qualitative base level” of reality that is being maintained ‘beyond causality’.

The quantum magic concept goes beyond the philosophical idea of strong emergence and points to something more profound and fundamental. However, the term “magic” introduces a functional, utilitarian framing that risks obscuring its deeper philosophical significance and advancement.

On ‘exotic particles’ and their magical re-normalization

Exotic particles created in high-energy particle collisions decay instantaneously into basic protonic structure (such as protons, neutrons, pions, and other hadrons). Exotic particles cannot exist independently of the measurement context—that is, the high-energy environment created in particle colliders.

The measurement context—specifically, the energy and ‘directionality’ introduced by particle colliders—is fundamentally excluded from the concept of “exotic particles.” This has profound implications.

The idea that time is applicable to the decay or ‘re-normalization’ of exotic particles—their supposed lifetimes— is a mathematical construct rather than grounded in observations.

Neutrino’s at the root of lifetime

The idea of an exotic particle having a finite “lifetime” before it decays is not derived from direct observation, but rather emerged as a consequence of invoking neutrinos as causal agents to explain the decay.

The applicable time window is considered ‘to tiny to be observed’ (an immeasurably tiny time window).

When investigating the situation, it becomes self-evident that the decay is to be considered actual instantaneous and that neutrinos cannot exist.

A philosophical investigation of the situation can provide profound insights into the nature of reality.

In summary: the choice for the scientific term ‘magic’ is highly revealing, and it also shows in my opinion that it might hinder philosophical advancement to understand the deeper nature of reality by attempting to abstract the phenomenon that underlays structure formation in the cosmos into a qualitative ‘component’ context that can be pursued and utilized for computing.

If anyone is interested to investigate it, hereby some extra clues to get started.

A concept like “top quark” might scare people off, since it suggests a physical entity that cannot be doubted. However, a closer look at what ‘top’ actually means will reveal that this notion at base refers to 'only mass’ without otherwise basal quarkonic structure to explain that mass causally.

The mathematical ‘top’ notion in quarks is similar to how ‘neutron’ is a mathematical fiction that represents ‘only mass’ in otherwise basic protonic structure.

Neutrons cannot exist independent of protonic structure and represent an exponential increase in mass that correlates with the increase in structure complexity on a bigger system level, or in philosophical terms “more than the sum of its parts” (strong emergence).

This same mathematical framing applies to the ‘top’ notion in quarks.

The key differentiator between the up quark (positive fractional electric charge) and the top quark is their mass value, while their other fundamental properties are the same. So from a philosophical perspective, the top notion refers to only mass, independent of otherwise basic structure.

When one investigates the situation more closely, it can be revealed that the actual phenomenon resides in the negative fractional electric charge down quark and that the other quarks, including the up and top quarks, represent ‘mathematical fractionality itself’ relative to expected structure formation ‘after the fact’ that is represented mathematically by the positive electric charge. (what the fractional quarks ‘amount to’ is a +1 whole integer positive electric charge).

So the mathematical fractionality that is represented by quarks, is as it were an attempt to mathematically frame a context that is otherwise inherently dynamic of nature.

To get a better understanding of how mathematical fractionality is at heart an ‘attempt’ to frame an inherently dynamic nature, one can have a look at how fractionality is used to describe electron :bubbles: bubbles, :gem: electron crystals and :snowflake: electron ice. The fractionality that is used to describe these phenomena is applied for a similar motive in the quark concept.

Much more details can be discovered when one critically examines the ‘top’ context in quarks, since this ‘only mass’ context has to be explained none-the-less and some interesting situations arise when one investigates the neutrino-based official narrative.
