• Hawking. A Brief History Of Time.
• . "quantum theories are deterministic in the
  sense that they give laws for the evolution of
  the wave with time. Thus if one knows the wave at
  one time, one can calculate it at any other time.
  The unpredictable, random element comes in only
  when we try to interpret the wave in terms of the
  positions and velocities of particles. But maybe
  this is our mistake maybe there are no positions
  and velocities, but only waves. It is just that
  we try to fit the waves to our preconceived ideas
  of positions and velocities. The resulting
  mismatch is the cause of the apparent
  unpredictability.

EVIDENCE FOR SCHRÖDINGERS WAVE AS A REAL,
OBJECTIVE PHYSICAL ENTITY Einstein (1905) atoms
are real photoelectric effect demonstrates
particle properties in light. de Broglie (1924)
all particles (micro or macroscopic) exhibit wave
features. Schrödinger (1926) formulates
deterministic wave equation 1926 - present
Schrödingers wave equation predicts experimental
results with greater accuracy than possible in
macroscopic mechanics. Wootters and Zurek
(1979)s quantitative formulation of
wave-particle duality. Mittelstaedt, Prieur, and
Schieder (1987)s experimental demonstration of
simultaneous coexistence of wave and particle
properties.

Hypothesis SCHRÖDINGERS WAVE IS A REAL,
OBJECTIVE PHYSICAL ENTITY that may be interpreted
as an standing wave (Schrödinger, or as
topological invariant (Kauffman), etc. LOOKING AT
ITS EVOLUTION IN TIME IS HENCE A REAL QUESTION.
Possibilities Random Periodic Chaotic
Biotic

Defining Characteristics of Bios

• Creative features (diversification, novelty,
  non-random complexity) absent in chaotic
  attractors
• Causation (internal causation in-formation)
  absent in randomly-generated statistical noise
• Asymmetry --chaos is symmetric
• Irreversibility --demonstrable in mathematical
  bios, but not in mathematical chaos
• Contiguity (continuity in discrete series)
  absent in chaos)
• Global sensitivity to initial conditions

10
Both symmetry and asymmetry are fundamental
Pasteurs cosmic asymmetry time
unidirectionality, beta decay, biomolecules,
hierarchies of size, complexity,
power. Symmetries oppositions, particles and
anti-particles, etc

Chaos is recurrent, Bios is novel (less recurrent
than shuffled copy)

Schrödingers equation

• A fundamental equation of quantum physics
  that describes how the wavefunction of a quantum
  system evolves over time

• The Schrödinger equation plays the role of
  Newton's laws and conservation of energy in
  classical mechanics

Causal (non-random) and creative quantum
mechanics when the wave packet hits a boundary,
it bounces and interferes with itself, generating
complex waves that show biotic features. Waves
show phenomena such as interference or
diffraction. Probabilities do not. ?2 is not a
probability.

  equation shows biotic features

• Diversification
• Novelty
• Arrangement
• Asymmetry
• Complexes
• Consecutive recurrence

In contrast to random, periodic and chaotic
patterns
As expected in a deterministic, non-random pattern

• THREE VIEWS ON QUANTUM PHYSICS
• Probabilistic Copenhagen interpretation Bohr,
  Heisenberg. Uncertainty is indeterminism
  physical reality is probabilistic, essentially
  random observations and observers determine
  results.
• Deterministic Einstein, Schrödinger, Bohm, Bell.
  
• Biotic simple periodic physical processes
  generate complex biotic patterns at each level of
  organization (quantum, planetary, cosmological,
  biological, economic, emotional).

COPENHAGEN INTERPRETATION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS
(logical positivism leading to philosophical
idealism and irrationalism ) 1900s atoms and
subatomic particles are mathematical conventions.
Heisenberg (1927) unity of energy and time as
action interpreted as uncertainty and
indeterminism (undefined). Bohr (1927) wave
and particle properties co-exist as mutually
exclusive possibilities (complementarity). Quantum
entities have no trajectories (Bohms theory
describes quantum phenomenology via
trajectories). Probability often interpreted as
randomness. Born (1928 )s probabilistic
interpretation of Schrödingers wave equation as
probability of finding quantum particle does not
imply randomness.
29
IDEALISTIC PHILOSOPHICAL SPECULATIONS CLAIMED AS
QUANTUM PHYSICS Nature is irrational. Electrons
make choices. The universe is conscious.
Schrödingers wave function exists in the
observers mind. The properties of a quantum
system cannot be said to exist if they have not
been measured. Whether a given property of a
given physical system in a given state may be
asserted, denied, or regarded as meaningless,
depends on the measuring context. IN CONTRAST
I personally like to regard a probability wave
as a real thing, certainly as more than a tool
for mathematical calculations. ... how could we
rely on probability predictions if we do not
refer to something real and objective? Max Born
