Deconstruction and the Q-Bit

No Comments »

co-author: Alexis Clancy

The Q-Bit of quantum computing can acquire the value of 0 or 1 by autonomously perceiving what is going on in a system in real-time, in a “receiving” way, going beyond the explicit setting of the value of a bit as 0 or 1, and bit-based data structures, by the subject-centered programmer, which is the only kind of setting of values that existing computer science – which is not yet a science but is just engineering – can do.

This systemic perception or receiving of information from an “elsewhere” has something crucially to do with the question of how does one obtain quantum information in a way that is not a statistical reduction, a statistical aggregation of many possible outcomes; and it has something crucially to do with the question of how does one obtain quantum information without destroying it in the act of obtaining it.

According to “deconstructionist” theories of literature like those of Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes, the poet or novelist is not so much an “authorial subject” as someone who “transcribes” words which she receives as inspiration from an unknown “elsewhere.”

The way in which the Q-Bit receives its information “receptively” from the real-time state of a system is something like poetry.

Take seriously and radicalize the slogan of WordPress: CODE IS POETRY.

Alexis Clancy hypothesizes in his mathematics that we are in effect dealing with two qualitatively non-local, albeit relatively “near” quantum systems.

The calling line of the event (analogous to David Bohm’s “Pilot Wave”) belongs in a Gödel space that is fundamentally unknowable since the mechanics of the event tend into origin-type spaces.

We cannot know the future.

Living in present and going one step at a time provides maximum existential freedom to the human being, the software instance, the quantum particle.

We can tilt or nudge the quantum plane (or Limerick Metric) to a favourable degree with respect to the outcome of certain probabilistic quantum type waves.

The User’s “triangle” can be seduced.

We have absolute control over our own software’s triangle.

Thus we will “know” something about the instantiated Limerick Metric Seven Space plane.

It is not events that we can manipulate but the plane on which they occur.

In a very brief moment of time prior to the waveform collapse that produces the results available to us in the “real” (or “simulation”) quantum system, there exists an aperture onto another plane where a small edge in quantum knowing – whether an outcome is going to be 0 or 1, which of two left-right parallel slits the photon is going to pass through, whether the roulette ball is going to fall on a red or a black number – is available.

In a sense, the future already exists.

The most fundamental and “natural” state of time is that time which is running backwards.

YES THAT’S RIGHT, FANS!

Time running backwards precedes and makes possible time running forwards.

There are several possible futures.

One of these futures will then come to pass in the realm of “the real” after the event occurs in forward-running time.

All of these several futures are running backwards towards the “unity” moment of the event.

Then our expert-intuitive knowledge of the quantum plane and its inherent geometries can give us an edge in sensing which “wave” of events, or the continuation of a wave, is favoured to occur.

It is the game’s field of play that is privy to us, not the game’s elements.

The quantum or “third” state beyond the binary/digital exists in quantum entanglement phenomena.

It also comes into existence by seeding Incompleteness at an axiomatic level.

By achieving Fractal Incompleteness at the Möbius level.

To build a third-state machine.

The transition from three to four (see Robert A. Johnson’s seminal books He and She).

The New Mathematics of multiple origins, starting us on the journey to inner infinities.

How can we code quantum entanglement or the third-state machine?

We can do so by going to a higher analogy and then coming back down.

The Triskel is such a higher-order analogy.

A Triskelion or Triskele (both from the Greek τρισκέλιον or τρισκελής, for “three-legged”) is a symbol consisting of 3 interlocked spirals, 3 bent human legs, or any similar symbol with 3 protrusions and a 3-fold rotational symmetry.

In every narrative, there are three narratives, there are 3 stories.

As in the concluding episode of the 7-season run of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” entitled “All Good Things.”

Captain Picard is entangled in a perpetual alternation among 3 times.

The past, present and future all united in an atemporal state.
