Chasing (Quantum) Rabbits

I don't have a movie this month, but I need a break (more or less) from other activities. My last entry tagged "chasing rabbits" from 2021 if I'm not wrong, was linked to the first part of "Dune" back then, without much connection to the movie though. Now, I didn't have time to see the second part of "Dune" so we can skip that completely. What made me spent some time during last month was a bit of research on a subject that I wouldn't have touched unless I really had to, but it's not the first time it happens to get on my agenda something unconvenient...

I'll prefer staying more cryptic on the background of all this, but who catched some of my previous entries tagged the same as the current might remember that I was speculating around time travel, unexpected randomness in life, and others (or maybe I remember it wrong, because I'm not in the mood, and I don't have the time either, to re-read my own ramblings). The point is that what follows fits with the same "category".

This time I'm gonna stick to an enumeration of short ideas, probably with a very weak basis, but which connect somehow between them, as much as to produce some questions. So, let's start, with apologies in advance for where I'm completely off-track (that's why we have links to external sources).

We can say informally about a particla in a reference system observed from a quantum physics perspective that it's in coherence at the moment when it's simultaneously in multiple states in isolation (aka in a superposition), and when it decoheres it "chooses" one of these states following the contact with the external environment (getting basically into a typical mechanical physics reference system).

There is something called the Penrose/Hameroff model aka Orchestrated Object Reduction (or in brief Orch Or), which again, informally, states that the conscious thinking might be influenced by a physiological process taking place at the level of some microparticles in the brain = micro tubules, following their passing with a certain frequency, from quantum coherence to a decoherence state (= losing their superposition). By extension, we could speculate that the subconscious activity is linked with the period when these particles are in coherence (in superposition).

Caveat: As many theories in the realm of quantum physics Orch Or is .. a theory. There are even practical experiments contradicting it, but these also bring up the idea that the model could be extended to something plausible.

In a semi-obscure journal, more than 10 years ago, there was another theory based on Orch Or, which in brief says that within the brain of a schizophrenic the physiological processes of micro tubules activity might be altered, more precisely the switches from coherence (superposition) to decoherence (a single state) do not produce quick enough, or at the frequency they're supposed to normally, the consequence being the altered behaviour = basically the delirious state, which again speculating, might originate from the person's subconscious. The journal might be semi-obscure, but it's not the only publication which somehow heads into this direction.

Up to this point we can say we have known facts. Actually now we start speculating (much more)...
In somebody's subconscious we don't know what can we find, that's why it is called a subconscious. But typically, what someone who's diagnosed with the above condition says in a delirious state is, or seems outside the reality that all of us know. Now, there's a question - why in a quantum coherence of some micro tubules in subconscious, the brain produces something that's not in its known realm of reality, but outside of it?

In a completely different direction we have something called the Everett-Wheeler model or Everett-DeWitt or Many-Worlds-Interpretation (MWI), which in brief, tells us that from a quantum perspective, anything that might decohere to a certain state it actually generates a new reality, and consequently a new distinct temporal line with its own evolution, and practically... we don't actually have a loss of superposition to a certain state - we have a continuous superposition, but the realities are somehow distinct and do not interact.

Now, wrapping (well, time is limited in this reality), we can ask two questions:
the light one - how does time flow in each distinct reality? (there are probably hypotheses for this but I didn't have time to look)
the hard one - if Orch Or and MWI wouldn't be just theories, and somehow we could have a possible intersection between these models, meaning not being completely incompatible, could someone with deranged micro tubules get somehow access in a subconscious state to a different image of other realities? (from where could extract firm beliefs about stuff that does not exist in the current reality)

To note that what's above is sheer speculation, and the undersigned with all responsibility does not have any firm belief about their validity. I have a background as researcher, but it's not in quantum physics, and the linked resources were barely skimmed, not read in detail, so I don't have any claim that what's above has much soundness in it (by the way, if there's any error on any interpretation of some reference, please send corrections). Besides that, sometimes is dangeorus to speculate over sensible matters.

Still... even though I finished writing this entry on April 1st, I dated it when I started it = on March 31st ;)
