Abstract
This paper depicts the evolution of quantum systems as a continuous Informational Unfolding (J_n) from the Foundational Informational Field. Each phase in this progression reflects a new state of the system that builds on previous informational states. We show that concepts from quantum mechanics and information theory such as quantum coherence, entropy, and the observer effect govern a system’s transitions. This model provides a holistic view of a system’s natural progression, from a state of Informational Unfolding to a state of Informational Entropy.
Introduction
Quantum mechanics traditionally portrays measurement as an act that forces a quantum system into a definite state. But observation is not a one-time event. It s an ongoing process where the universe is continuously generating new informational states. This progression of states is not isolated but a continuous evolution.
Here we re-frame the idea of “measurement” as the system’s Informational Progression of States to describe its evolution. Its stages are:
Foundational Field → Macro Domain → Informational Synthesis → Informational Integrity → Informational Organization → Informational Complexity → Delimited Sequence → Informational Entropy
This progression tracks the journey from the system’s initial informational state to the final breakdown of its ability to display quantum behaviors. This aligns with the theory of decoherence, which in our framework is a Delimited Sequence that causes a quantum system to lose Informational Integrity and behave classically.
The Informational Progression of States
1. Foundational Field → Macro Domain
The quantum system begins in an un-unfolded state, analogous to a superposition, where it exists as a pure informational potential within the Foundational Informational Field. The “first measurement” is not an observation by an external entity, but the active unfolding of that informational state into the Macro Domain. At the moment of this unfolding, the system’s existence becomes “tangible” in a particular location, marking the transition from a potential state to a real one.
2. Macro Domain → Informational Synthesis
Once the system’s state is defined in the Macro Domain, information about the system’s properties is continuously extracted .This provides partial but crucial knowledge that helps shape the system’s ongoing state, a process we call Informational Synthesis. Because of the system’s inherent indeterminacy, only specific aspects of the state are revealed at any given time, but this continuous synthesis is what drives the system’s evolution.
3. Informational Synthesis → Informational Integrity
Quantum coherence refers to the system’s ability to maintain Informational Integrity between different components. As Informational Synthesis continues, this integrity can be preserved or lost. “Decoherence” is a Delimited Sequence that causes the system to lose its Informational Integrity, leading it to behave more classically.
4. Informational Integrity → Informational Organization
If a quantum system maintains its Informational Integrity, the interactions between its components may give rise to Informational Organization, which are emergent properties that are not present at the level of individual components. For example, entanglement is not a physical phenomenon but a conceptual Delimited Sequence that creates a powerful Informational Network with correlations that transcend classical physics. This stage is where the system evolves into a state that exhibits collective behaviors.
5. Informational Organization → Informational Complexity
Once a system reaches a level of Informational Organization, it becomes more complex, as defined by the Unfolding Equation (J_n). The system’s Informational Unfolding gives rise to behaviors such as quantum chaos, which is a conceptual misnomer for a highly aperiodic, self-correcting sequence. In systems like quantum computing, entanglement and superposition are expressions of this Informational Complexity, allowing for enhanced processing power.
6. Informational Complexity → Delimited Sequence
As Informational Complexity increases, the system’s Informational Entropy also rises, leading to a Delimited Sequence that ends the system’s cycle. This sequence causes the system to lose its Informational Integrity and begin behaving less like a quantum entity and more like a classical system. This transition, where Informational States lose their distinguishing properties, marks a critical stage in the system’s evolution, from an entangled quantum system to a classical-like outcome.
7. Delimited Sequence → Informational Entropy
The Delimited Sequence eventually leads to what we can describe as a state of maximum Informational Entropy (E), where the system’s ability to demonstrate quantum behavior is lost entirely. This represents the dissolution of the system’s quantum state into a state of maximum entropy, mirroring the thermodynamic concept of equilibrium. The system does not cease to exist but returns to its foundational, un-unfolded state, ready to be reintegrated into the Foundational Informational Field.
Conclusion
This is a new way to view the continuous evolution of quantum systems, but it is a metaphor for a deeper reality. This model re-conceptualizes measurement as a continuous process of Informational Unfolding from the Foundational Informational Field, which gradually leads the system through stages of Informational Organization, Complexity, and eventual breakdown via a Delimited Sequence.
This view aligns with the concepts of quantum decoherence and measurement theory. As a system evolves, the interactions between Informational Integrity and the Macro Domain become more pronounced, eventually leading to the loss of quantum behavior and a return to a state of Informational Entropy.
