The Quantum Code of the Flow of Time: Quantum Temporal Mechanics as a Novel QM Interpretation

"We always say the past is gone and the future is unreal, but the quantum perspective suggests they might be woven together in ways we can't yet see."

—Lee Smolin

Quantum mechanics has captivated both physicists and philosophers for generations, unraveling the enigmatic behavior of particles at the smallest scales of existence. Yet, amidst its many revelations, one profound mystery endures: the true nature of time and its fundamental role in constructing the reality we perceive. While classical physics treats time as a constant backdrop against which events unfold, quantum mechanics hints at a far more intricate relationship. Enter Quantum Temporal Mechanics (QTM), also referred to as D-Theory of Time, a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics that reframes time as an emergent, participatory phenomenon deeply interconnected with the fabric of reality itself. Central to this interpretation is the concept of Digital Presentism—the idea that time is a construct arising from the processing of information and perception of change.

Evolutionary Emergence: From Primordial Atoms to Living Algorithms of Artificial Superintelligence

 

“Complexity is not just a feature of evolution; it's a product of the rules of emergence that govern the universe.”

—Neil deGrasse Tyson

Big history started with the Alpha Point, be it the Big Bang or Big Bounce, and resembles a huge ongoing evolutionary computing program running on the universal computer of sorts. As a rule, which I refer to as ‘Universal Evolutionary Doubling Algorithm,’ or simply ‘Exponential Evolution,’ the pace of any evolutionary process always quickens It took billions of years since the Big Bang for Earth to form. It took two billion more for unicellular life to “warm up” for the next phase of multicellularity about 550 million years ago. Mammals inherited Earth some 65 million years ago. With the emergence of primates, evolutionary progress was measured in mere millions of years, leading to Homo sapiens some 300,000 years ago.

Cybernetic Theory: Information Physics, Quantum Cosmology, Simulation Metaphysics

 

"The Cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." -Carl Sagan

the intellectual landscape of scientific inquiry, explanatory theories serve as foundational frameworks that offer more than mere descriptive accounts; they elucidate the underlying principles and causal mechanisms that govern observed phenomena. Unlike purely mathematical models, which may adeptly characterize patterns or statistical correlations, explanatory theories confer ontological insights into the 'how' and 'why' of natural processes.

Meta-Cybernetics: Does the Physics of Information Reveal the God's Hand?

hen molecular biologists talk about genetic code or sociologists talk about cultural memes as epigenetic information, it’s by far more intuitive than when physicists say that what we perceive as solid matter, energy, and even space-time continuum itself is information as well. Morse code, a streaming movie on-demand, or pixels on your smartphone’s screen could be easily understood as information, on the other hand, if you catch a cold or fall in love with someone, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with information. But contrary to popular belief, that’s the worldview many physicists are now embracing.
