[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We are not separate from the universe in the sense of the cat in the experiment of Schrodinger.
Rick Rosner: Let’s assume the universe is a huge informationation processing entity, which may imply consciousness, it might not be. But there are things the universe knows and doesn’t know. The micro-structure of what the universe knows and doesn’t know is in its quantum mechanics.
It is in its physics of incomplete information, where particles exist incompletely. They have imprecisely defined energies and momentums. They are only defined as much as the universe can interact with them to define each aspect of the universe.
The universe has a vast but finite amount of information. That information is and the lack of complete information is expressed in quantum mechanical physics. Things that exist as complicated information processors.
If we can mathematically represent the information processing in consciousness in us – that is, we have information spaces reflecting the state of our information from moment to moment, then that information space would also be governed by quantum mechanical physics.
It would reflect the state of our knowledge from moment to moment. There would be quantum mechanical entities within this information space. But from the point of view of the universe, the quantum mechanical entities that would comprise our information spaces aren’t made of the quantum mechanical particles that comprise the universe.
It is a separate space with separate entities. These entities reflect a different separate of information that we have knowledge and lack of knowledge about, which is reflective of the universe or indicative what we have learned about the universe.
But it is a physical space or information space. That the larger universe would not even be aware of. It is a quantum mechanical universe. It exists in a different space and is on a smaller scale. It has the same basic principles of the larger universe.
It is another level of superimposed order on the physical processes of the universe. But that relationship isn’t clear, yet.
