by using special mathematics, and they have also discovered that an level
is necessary to complete description of existence. To the Copenhagen school
of quantum theory, is the multiple-reality of an atomic "particle" before
we measure it and constrain it to one value. To the "hidden variable"
theorists like Bohm, who deny that the act of measurement can magically
transform a multiple reality to a single reality, is the hidden variable (they
write it q) which constrains particles even when we aren't measuring them.
To the quantum logic school of von Neumann, is the indeterminate
function between Aristotelian true and false, the "maybe" in which
quantum systems spend most of their time when we are not constraining
them by experimental meddling. To Heisenberg, is the multiple truefalse-maybe
forward-and-backward-in-time condition of potentia, which only
becomes "reality" after our participation as experimentalists. Finally, in the
Everett-Wheeler-Graham, or EWC, model, is every possible state that a
"particle" or a "universe" can get itself into, all of which are considered
equally "real," not just mathematically but physically, even though we only
participate in one "reality" at a tiine.
It is evident that these conflicting interpretations of quantum experiments,
despite differences in technical philosophical niceties, all agree that ordinary
everyday "reality" is only an aspect of a more complex function of multiple
realities. If we ask why this quantum ontology agrees so conveniently with
the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism, and why both physics and Eastern
mysticism agree with Finnegans Wake, the only answer seems to be that the
deep structure of matter, experimentally investigated, contains the same
paradoxes as the deep study of mind, when experimentally investigated by
the techniques of meditation and Altered States of Consciousness. In the
depths, we do not find One Mind and One Reality, as Theists and
Materialists both imagine, but something so different from day-time
concepts that it can only be categorized in contradictions—No Mind
(Taoism) and Many Realities (EWC model) or mathematical fictions that
only become "real" when we interact with them (Copenhagen/Heisenberg
views) or the three-valued von Neumann logic (True/False/Maybe) which
resolves all Zen riddles and Sufi puzzles if you apply it to them.
Before the reader cries (as Byron did of Wordsworth) "I wish he would
explain his explanation," let us look concretely at some of the hologrammic
prose of Finnegans Wake and see how the systems of andapply
to it. We try the first sentence:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and
Environs.
