The Wave Function is Real: The
Holographic Quantum Model Source: Beyond Duality In quantum physics the wave function (denoted by the
Greek psi symbol) is sometimes referred to as mathematical fiction.
When Schrodinger developed his famous wave equation, it was a puzzle
as to what psi really represented. It was concluded that the wave
function depicted probabilities--and not energy.
Here we shall be using the wave function to mean a
packet of vibrations as in current quantum mechanics but that in our
case we envision everything imaginable in the universe as made up of
waves. Any specific thing whatsoever is not just represented by, but
is a group of oscillations given by sine waves. These groups of sine
waves representing all phenomena, such as a particle, an atom, planet,
galaxy, objects, a thought, word, concepts or ideas, mind, etc. may be
immensely complex, comprising waves in fractal groups extending into
higher dimensions, in which their phase relationship is of key
importance. These wave functions are holographic and have a precise
geometry. This geometry is information.
Every single wave function is a packet of information.
The vibrations of the wave function are energy but also probabilities
given by sub-sine wave groupings. The resonant linkages between them
will vary in strength giving different probability weighting--no
different from the principle of habit patterns. (Learning occurs by
mode locking, that is, entraining separate oscillations--as in
associating.)
Quantum energy is actually quantum action, that is,
energy multiplied by time (as one whole). Thus it would be expected
that the wave function was not the physicist's energy E, which is a 3D
expression of work done. Quantum action has a thickness in time.
One of the main reasons why the wave function in current
quantum physics has to be considered fictional is because it is
expressed by the resultant of many sub-wave functions representing
probabilities or attributes of entities of the natural world in the
form of respective orthogonals. These orthogonals are dimensions and
may be great in number. Let's simplify this and refer to the famous
"Schrodinger's cat".
The cat is hidden in a box and is subject to the
possibility of being poisoned; the probability of which is governed by
a random generator. We don't know whether the cat is alive or dead
until we open the box. The wave function will be the resultant of both
probabilities; that for the cat to be dead and that for it to be
alive. The Y-axis could represent "death" and the X-axis "alive". The
wave function in Schrodinger's equation gives the superposition of
these two separate wave functions for being dead and alive. The graph
or resultant wave function gives both probabilities simultaneously and
holistically. But we know that when we look into the box that the cat
will be either dead or alive, not both.
Now let us say the resultant graph (wave function) is,
say, closer to the Y-axis. In this case this resultant (in the quantum
reality) will "collapse" onto the Y-axis, and a single probability is
considered to have been selected by the observation (Copenhagen
Interpretation). The cat is observed dead. The equation does not,
however, give the "collapse". In real applications of the wave
function the procedures can be very complex but always accurate. For
example, several particles interacting would each have to be
represented by three dimensions, that is, different ones for each
particle; for example, nine dimensional axes or orthogonals for three
electrons. Thus we see the unreality of the resultant wave function.
Our general holographic wave function should be pictured
as made up of sine waves of different frequencies and, in particular,
having phase relationships. The wave function is not linear or of a
single level but multidimensional and can be envisaged as groups of
sine waves within groups displaced along the gradient 3D to 4D,
governed by frequency.
This packet of waves and its resultants at different
fractal levels (the groups) follows the rules of Fourier analysis. Any
resultants of subgroups or the whole resultant can be broken down by
resonant waves giving the true nature of quantum reduction from one
higher fractal level to a lower one. This process of quantum
reduction--resultant waves reducing to lower-dimensional sine waves, a
form of Fourier analysis--occurs continuously along with the reverse:
quantum regeneration in which separate lower-dimensional sine waves,
when correlated, form higher-dimensional resultants--a form of Fourier
synthesis (this is how the laser really works). Figure 2, in the
article on physical mobility, part II, showing vortices within
vortices is also a wave function, and these articles should preferably
be studied before this one.
We know by now that the Newtonian view of the universe
does not give an accurate picture. Quantum physics is much nearer the
truth. The universe is not made of empty space with objects in it but
is more akin to a complex webwork of interconnecting energies:
everything conceivable is made up of vibrations, in other words, is a
wave function.
When wave functions have "entangled" there can be an
immediate transmission of information from one resonant component to
another--distance is no object. This is a feature of current quantum
theory and one can see the applications of this principle to many
everyday experiences, even to forming a basis for paranormal phenomena
; also the ability of animals to read vibrations of energies and
acquire information, an ability which escapes us.
Although everything might be considered as a basic
energy of consciousness moulded by wave functions, not all objects are
holistic or, in other words, are a single or whole wave function. Only
natural entities in which the whole is greater than the sum of the
parts, such as a planet or cell, are a single resultant sine wave
pattern. A car, for example, is a composite of wave functions
(molecules, etc).
As a different kind of example, consider coordination of
the human body, say, two arms at a keyboard. For a learned sequence, a
wave function will be controlling the relationship between all
movements, that is, a single wave function at every instant (this
instant is smaller the higher the frequency). The sine wave groups
within this wave function change their phase angle as motion of arms,
etc., continues. This wave function gives the precise geometry of
energy-formatting within which the limbs take position in space and
time.
In skills we experience within the mind this wave
function as the kinesthetic sense. Consciousness or the input senses
the information of the wave function. This information is
holographically spread in both space and time, holistically. Within
the wave function the smaller waves deal with the 3D sharp focus of
activity, such as part of one finger movement, but the larger waves
span more time enabling one to feel, in the margin of consciousness,
the immediate future movements. If this didn't occur one could not
make any controlled movements! This means that at any instant one not
only senses the present movement and position of a limb, but also the
immediate future ones simultaneously in a multidimensional manner
(through the regular fractal levels within the wave function).
Realise that every oscillation is a vortex, and two or
more vortices in phase will attract to create motion. In skill
behaviour the vortices are centred at the joints. One should imagine
these vortices as enveloping the limbs--which are executing a skilled
sequence--with infinite complexity of vortices within vortices,
involving a shifting around as any smaller vortex is precipitated into
3D (quantum reduced) by a larger one--in continuous nonlinear
activity.
The geometrical patterning within the wave function from
large to small is precisely the same as that of the universe's fractal
nature. It must also be the same principle occurring in the amazing
genetic processes which we tend to take for granted. We might see from
this that the large wave function for our universe would span all time
for this universe (and all space) as a unity. But as we come down the
levels within the wave function, increasing separation occurs and
therefore the manifestation of time and the phenomena of objects and
particles, individuals, etc. (as being separate from one another).
Within this wave function the sine waves, in general,
vary in size and dimensions (e.g., 3.2D, 3.8D, 4.0D) and vary in phase
relationship and frequency. The phase relationship and size/dimension
determine the geometry. The frequencies determine the qualities and
attributes, such as colour, emotions, and also the degree of
integration or fractal level. Remember, anything we can imagine is not
just represented by this wave function but is a wave function--a
pattern or patterns of vibrations. These are all packets of
information.
Note that the information is not associated (as though
appended) in the geometrical oscillations in the manner that man's
artificial coding systems associate meaning, letters, symbols with
computer processes (the binary system). The information is the
geometric intelligence of the wave function's oscillations.
Now how does the mind's "read" and "write" processes
work in nature? An oscillation or wave can be considered to be a read
pulse if it impinges on a wave function and resonates with the wave
function or certain components of waves within it. By resonance we
mean it occurs as a result of similar frequencies--oscillations in
phase. Such a signal resonating with, say, the internal structure of
the wave function can act as a key (a principal feature of genetics?).
Corresponding waves inherent within the resultant oscillation of the
wave function are by Fourier analysis separated out . These waves now
become active to do work or act as an instruction signal for some
other entity. The separated waves may, however, still have complex
modulations and they are still wave functions. Different whole wave
functions could resonate, or merely their parts.
A "write" pulse, such as anyone's thoughts, will radiate
wave functions to be recorded in the countless vortices of spacetime.
Some media store information easier than others. Stone, quartz, bone,
and water are considered high in storage capabilities, that is, their
own oscillations have been modulated by appropriately related signals.
Returning to the example of coordination in skills, a
big problem is how a large amount of information can be stored
nonlinearly. We might consider for instance the long sequence of
complex movements which must be stored for a concert pianist to play a
concerto. Scientists have already recognised that these sequences are
clearly not stored linearly--this would be extremely inefficient and
impractical.
Consider an analogy with computers. Let the harddrive
storage have the full memory of the movements to play the concerto. It
is all there, all at once. But now we wish to apply this memory, that
is download to the temporary memory, RAM, where a portion of the data
on the harddrive will now appear on the screen (imagine all of this
portion can appear on the screen). We perceive this data, which is
immediately available, all at once (on the screen). This corresponds
to the learning pattern or wave function. Consciousness grasps with
the conscious mind plus the margin of consciousness a spread in time
of information--the full learning pattern or wave function, all at
once. In the computer analogy as we look at the screen, imagine
reading text from the top to the bottom one word at a time. This is
the conscious mind playing off one bit in time of the wave function.
But as one gets to the end of the learning pattern (the end of the
text) the wave function 'moves' along in time (the harddrive loads
another page). But note that the change is actually not discrete. The
wave function steadily and continuously 'moves' forward (the harddrive
is loading steadily all the time). Thus the wave function or learning
pattern bridges the dimensional gap between the total memory (the
harddrive) and the sharp focus of application, the single movement (or
reading of the text). The wave function thus is a transducer of
energies. Its holographic properties have enabled it to convert a
portion of holistic energy (higher-dimensional) to one bit at a time
in our 3D space and time. The higher the skill of the person the
greater is this span in time (and space, which is the same as time
within the learning pattern). Or the computer monitor can hold more
text. This is a proper definition of skill or instrumental
technique--how many movements can be spanned simultaneously with the
mind. Everything else falls into place--density of information is
higher, coordination is better, speed of movement is easier and
faster, etc. Imagine reading the text on the screen faster than the
harddrive can load it--you can't of course. Thus the span of the
learning pattern determines the ability. Thus the wave function as a
learning pattern is a mechanism that enables one to translate holistic
programs into linear ones within 3D space and time.
Now how is the information for the concerto stored in
the "harddrive"? It is clearly all there, all at once. We say it must
be stored cyclically in the periphery of the vortices as alluded to
previously. One can picture the information going round in circles
indefinitely, the simultaneity of which can be handled with higher
dimensions, but to tap it off or access it the learning pattern or
wave function must link this level to enable it to be expressed in
material reality--actually playing the concerto.
This is a very difficult subject and these articles are
very brief. As a final note we might add that an important field of
research would be to relate the wave function--the quantum
computer--as described here, with the central nervous system, in
particular, with muscular activity.
