please see the msg i just posted, in response to a msg posted by Matt Jones, in
the 'ionic leak' thread.
it's stuff describes, from the perspective of the problem in Neuroscience, what
has been missing from the 'qm' perspective.
Specifically (quoting from the Copyrighted URL that you reference in your
post):
>>One of the principal features of quantum mechanics is that not all the
classical physical observables of a system can be simultaneously known
with unlimited precision, even in principle. Instead, there may be
several sets of observables which give qualitatively different, but
nonetheless complete (maximal possible) descriptions of a quantum
mechanical system. These sets are sets of "good quantum numbers," and
are also known as "maximal sets of commuting observables." Observables
from different sets are "noncommuting observables".<<
this 'several sets' stuff is 'just' a "throwing of hands up in the air because
folks just don't understand what they're talking about" thing.
there is =one= 'map', with respect to which, everything is exactly and
deterministically ordered. it is the one way flow of energy from order to
disorder that is what's described by 2nd Thermo (wdb2t).
everything in the so-called 'several sets' can be rigorously ordered with
respect to wdb2t. when such is done, 'uncertainty' waves 'bye-bye', and all
that's left is exact determinism.
[for those who aren't up on the Physics, don't 'jump to conclusions' with
respect to what 'exact determinism' means with respect to Free Will. Free Will
has physically-real Existence, and knowing Truth with respect to physical
reality =only= enhances Free Will because, in absence of such knowing of Truth
with respect to physical reality, physical reality still behaves in its exact
and deterministic way, but Free Will is continually 'clobbered' by it because,
in the absence of the knowledge, Free Will 'chooses' discordantly with respect
to Truth... so =don't 'panic'.]
shall we continue?
