A link between static and dynamical perturbation theory

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics
Dynamics, the physical change in time and a pillar of natural sciences, can be regarded as an emergent phenomenon when the system of interest is part of a larger, static one.

Beyond symbolic algebra with quantum picturalism

open access: yesFrontiers in Cognition
The more advanced the symbolic mathematics, the more impenetrable the meaning. This is particularly evident in quantum theory, where symbolic formalisms foreground states and objects.

Rovelli’s Relational Quantum Mechanics, Anti-Monism, and Quantum Becoming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the first section I present in some details Rovelli’s RMQ. In the second I defend it from some foreseeable objections, so as to clarify its philosophical implications vis à vis some rival but closely related interpretations. In particular I ask whether RQM presupposes a hidden recourse to a duality of both temporal evolutions and ontology (the ...

THE FAULT IN US: ETHICS, INFINITY, AND CELESTIAL BODIES

open access: yesZygon, 2016
Catherine Keller's Cloud of the Impossible knits together process theology and relational ontology with quantum mechanics. In quantum physics, she finds a new resource for undoing the architecture of classical metaphysics and its location of autonomous ...

An analysis of relational quantum mechanics

open access: yes, 2023
In this thesis, I argue that no current version of Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) both meets its own goals and solves the problem of measurement, and the prospects that any such interpretation could be articulated are not promising. I offer a clear illustration of the core framework of RQM and I note that all versions of RQM share an ontology of ...

Representation and Perspective in Science

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2007
The world science describes tends to have a very strange look. We can’t see atoms or force fields, nor are they imaginable within visualizable categories, so neither can we even imagine what the world must be like according to recent physical theories ...

The Logic of Motion and Rest: A Graph-Theoretical Approach

open access: yesDynamics
A graph-theoretical approach to the analysis of motion and rest in many-body systems is developed. Point bodies are represented as vertices of a complete bi-colored graph, termed the motion–rest graph (MRG).

Integrated Information in Relational Quantum Dynamics (RQD)

open access: yesApplied Sciences
We introduce a quantum integrated-information measure Φ for multipartite states within the Relational Quantum Dynamics (RQD) framework. Φ(ρ) is defined as the minimum quantum Jensen–Shannon distance between an n-partite density operator ρ and any product

Modified Relational Quantum Mechanics

open access: yes, 2020
A modified version of relational quantum mechanics is developed based on the three following ideas. An observer can develop an internally consistent description of the universe but it will, of necessity, differ in particulars from the description developed by any other observer. The state vector is epistomological and relative to a given quantum system

A functional contextual, observer-centric, quantum mechanical, and neuro-symbolic approach to solving the alignment problem of artificial general intelligence: safe AI through intersecting computational psychological neuroscience and LLM architecture for emergent theory of mind

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience
There have been impressive advancements in the field of natural language processing (NLP) in recent years, largely driven by innovations in the development of transformer-based large language models (LLM) that utilize “attention.” This approach employs ...
