Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is the study of the conceptual and mathematical underpinnings of quantum theory, focusing on the interpretation of quantum phenomena, the nature of quantum states, measurement, and the implications for reality and causality, as well as the philosophical questions arising from the theory's counterintuitive predictions.
Within the most general framework allowed by the Principle of Least Action, we find that a specific subclass of classical dynamics, characterized by Intrinsic Periodicity of spacetime, leads to violations of Bell's inequalities. The... more
The Scale-Dependent Classical Synthesis (SDCS) unifies gravity, electromagne sm, and the strong and weak nuclear forces within a classical, rela vis c framework, elimina ng the need for quantum mechanics, dark ma er, and dark energy.... more
The validity of the de Broglie formula 𝜆 = ℎ ⁄ 𝑝 for matter waves has been confirmed by numerous experiments such as Davisson-Germer and G. P. Thomson experiments. But there is a major problem here. If 𝜆 = ℎ ⁄ 𝑝 is valid for matter waves,... more
We use gauge fixing to derive Proca equation from Maxwell’s classical electrodynamics in curved spacetime. Further restrictions on the gauge yield the Klein-Gordon equation for scalar bosons. The self-coupling of electromagnetic fields... more
This paper proposes a speculative theoretical model in which quantum entanglement extends beyond physical particles to include emotional or experiential states in living beings. Unlike traditional entanglement, which typically involves... more
Testi compilati e supervisionati da Alan Perz, PhD E' evidente che ci debba essere una qualche forma di energia vitale in grado di mantenere viva la creazione. Gli scienziati hanno iniziato a fare postulati sempre più arditi, anche in... more
The Conformal Cyclical Hypothesis (CCH) attempts a formal recursive theory of everything.
Our notions of what is physically 'real' have long been based on the idea that the real is what is immediately apprehended, that is the local or observable, the physically tangible, though there has always been an alternative... more
A brief history is given of the factor 2, starting in the most elementary considerations of geometry and the kinematics of uniform acceleration, and moving to relativity, quantum mechanics and particle physics. The basic argument is that... more
It is shown that Schrödinger’s equation may be derived from three postulates. The first is a kind of statistical metamorphosis of classical mechanics, a set of two relations which are obtained from the canonical equations of particle... more
This paper argues that functionalism, a dominant theory in philosophy of mind, fails to adequately explain the emergence of conscious experience within the Everettian (Many-Worlds) interpretation of quantum mechanics. While the universal... more
This paper introduces a conceptual and mathematical framework for treating improbability as a structured and measurable field within quantum epistemology. Building on the idea that standard probabilistic models fail to capture events that... more

What is the frequency of an electron? ULRICH ZURCHER, Physics Department, Cleveland State University -Particle-wave duality is a central tenet of quantum physics, and an electron has wave-like properties. Introductory texts discuss the... more
Двумерные алгебры, рассмотренные С.С. Кокаревым и Д. Павловым, раскрываются как особый класс структур, в которых причинность и порядок следования событий определяются не внешними параметрами, а внутренними законами самой алгебры. В данной... more
Relativistic mass theory is a fundamental concept in physics that describes how an object's mass changes with its velocity. In this research, we present a new theory that states that relativistic mass remains constant even at velocities... more
This paper explores a critical paradigm shift in design research during the AI-native era, through the lens of the Ship of Theseus paradox. Drawing from David Bohm's dialectic framework we can examine how iterative replacements of... more
We propose a novel framework for understanding memory, computation, and the manifestation of matter through harmonic wave interference patterns. The foundation of this theory stems from the unexpected properties revealed in high-precision... more
This proposal outlines a novel physical experiment to investigate whether Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) can function as a conscious observer in a quantum mechanical context. Specifically, it tests whether AGI alone can induce wave... more
This proposal presents a novel quantum mechanical experiment designed to investigate whether Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) can function as a conscious observer in the context of wave function collapse. Building upon the... more
We have executed for the first time an experiment on mental obesrvables concluding that there exists equivalence (that is to say, quantum like behavior) between quantum and cognitive entities.Such result has enabled us to formulate an... more
Neuroscience has realized valuable advances. As example, it has identified brain regions performing learning, memory, feeling and still more. The current tendency in neuroscience retains that adding pieces of knowledge day by day, we will... more
In the first part of the paper we reach an experimental final confirmation that mental states follow quantum mechanics. In the second part further experimentation indicates that in mind states Bell inequality violation is possible.
This paper introduces a new paradigm: a unified field resonance framework in which consciousness is primary and physical law arises as structured, quantized resonance within this conscious field. Consciousness is not emergent — it is... more
The paper presents an extension of the metaphysics of self-subsisting structures set out in a companion paper to the realm of non-relativistic quantum physics. The discussion is centered around a Pure Shape Dynamics model representing a... more
This review paper conducts an in-depth evaluation of simulation theory through its philosophical foundation, along with scientific basis, cultural effects, and research possibilities in the upcoming years. This paper uses historical... more
The notion of a partition on a set is mathematically dual to the notion of a subset of a set, so there is a logic of partitions dual to Boole's logic of subsets (Boolean logic is usually mis-specified as "propositional" logic). The notion... more
The AdS/CFT correspondence posits a holographic equivalence between a gravitational theory in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime and a conformal field theory (CFT) on its boundary, linked by gauge-invariant quantities like field strengths \(... more
We present a comprehensive mathematical framework that integrates harmonic wave interference, fractal-holographic encoding, and a deterministic prime number generation scheme. First, we rigorously demonstrate how certain reciprocals of... more
In this paper, a systematic and overall ontology is developed that is consistent with the quantum theory. The paper begins with a review of the causal interpretation of the quantum theory, emphasising several new concepts that have been... more
Breaking away from logical-empiricism, in the early 1950s Stephen Toulmin presented empirical theories as maps, thereby opening a fertile line of reflection about background interests and their impact on abstraction in scientific... more
En el caso de la extraordinaria diferencia entre los puntos de partida y marcos conceptuales de, por un lado, la Mecánica Cuántica de Heisenberg, y por otro lado, de la teoría presentada recientemente aquí en sus principios fundamentales... more

Where does the Born Rule come from? We ask: "What is the simplest extension of probability theory where the Born rule appears"? This is answered by introducing "superposition events" in addition to the usual discrete events.... more
We first review and critically examine some basic concepts and ambiguities related to quantum mechanics and quantum measurement to understand the success and shortcomings of current theories. We also touch on ideas regarding expression of... more
We show in this paper that there is a connection between an extended theory of statistical experiments under symmetry conditions on the one hand and the foundation of quantum theory on the other hand. The connection is established using... more

This paper explores whether bidirectional temporal dynamics in quantum mechanics-such as time-symmetry and retrocausality-could theoretically influence the neurobiological or phenomenological experience of human dreaming. Time-symmetric... more
We perform a reconstruction of the polarization sector of the density matrix of an intense polarization squeezed beam starting from a complete set of Stokes measurements. By using an appropriate quasidistribution, we map this onto the... more
We study the generation of superpositions of N00N states by overlapping few-photon-subtracted squeezed vacuum states and coherent states on a 50/50 beam splitter. Assuming parameters that are feasible with current technology results in... more
I argue that properties and relations are in the same boat with respect to quantum mechanics. That just as properties cannot be considered as “hidden variables" so also neither can the relation of being correlated with. Nevertheless... more
The generalized uncertainty connection between the fluctuations of a quantum observable and its temporal derivative is derived in this study, we demonstrate that the product of an observable's uncertainties and its time derivative is... more
The probability theory presents various interpretations frequentist, subjective, axiomatic, Bayesian, logical etc. which exhibit profound diversities, while the definitive comprehensive theoretical frame does not appear at the horizon.... more
