Hi Mathias, thanks for this insight. I think there’s scientific and logical basis for Pratītyasamutpāda and the duality of opposites, and as such that no subdivision of the universe really exists independently of the remainder. I think this notion is similar to what you’re saying here. Rob

Working on the Collatz conjecture I was struck by the realisation that the recursion of one-to-many and many-to-one functions create both a clear arrow of time and strictly increasing/decreasing complexity and entropy. The collapse of a quantum observation is analogous to the execution of a “Many to One” function. I think the profoundness of this will be accepted in due course.

Some people say that every measurement of quantum systems creates entanglement with other systems (apparatus). That’s an elaborate version of the Copenhagen interpretation of the collapse of the wave function. It looks like being collapsed, but it is entangled. Maybe Brian can write a bit more about this subject.

“quantum systems left to themselves become more entangled over time”
this sounds fascinating! how does that works?
