<That seems close to the philosophy of Solipsism where the universe exists only because we perceive it. I'm more of the mind that the universe exists regardless of whether we are in it. >
No I was not speaking of "reality" or objectivity, or whatever you want to call it... I was speaking of subjective reality according to the person/organism. I also think it exists regardless of whether we are in it, or whatever.
That said, speaking of a person experiencing something (subjective), which would have to be based on the past... a person perceives the present moment based on his/her past... evolution up to this point taking the long view... his/her upbringing taking a shorter view.... for example, even a rock "experiences" (interfaces?) with the environment based on its history... i.e. its properties change.
The farther into the future you go, the larger the magnitude of uncertainty. That uncertainty gets smaller and smaller the closer the future comes to the present. (I imagine the uncertainty itself as if it were a particle in the space of the future). >
Agreed... and even subjectively (an organism reading the environment) this is true... for example we are estimators of the future based on the past... the further out you go the more uncertain. Seasons are pretty darn good patterns to understand... but look out 1000 years and they are certainly more uncertain than next year.
<<Uncertainty can grow or shrink based on chaotic interactions. But... at the instant that the future becomes the now, there is no longer any uncertainty. Whatever happens now is something that really happens. There is no longer any chaos in the system.>>
Makes sense to me... cool.
<Basically, quantum theory no longer applies at the singularity.>>
I guess so... although it assumes that one system no? I mean there are next moments and next moments, which are affected by that moment. Also, that system then does continue to change as new {quantum} moments actualize no? As that moment slides into he past aren't ensuing changes also "quantum"?
Just thinking out loud... LOL |
