More about the free will.
In TGD, Matti say: State function reduction is the obvious starting point when one tries to understand free will.
The basic question that make the solvation of free will hard, is the Schrödinger equations. In my essay we saw that they are perhaps wrongly interpreted, and can be replaced by the double slit experiment interference? There is no either, but all states togeteher.
The factor time is essential. it is the sequences of jumps, or measurements.
Matti: One must replace state function reduction with quantum jump involving unitary process. Unitary process would create superposition of worlds of quantum states and would be the genuinely creative aspect of free will.
State function reduction chooses one state among the eigenstates of measured observables.
This is basically the fractional quantum Hall effect. In photosynthesis we have seen that when the choice has been made it collapses all other possibilities. Remarkably long lived electronic quantum coherence is saved, and quantum random walk is suggested as mechanism. This is a sampling of all possibilities available in order to chose one path. This is a quantum feature, so free will acts at quantum level?
Time at quantum level works differently, and eventually time is born in the measurement moment, together with consciousness, as a result of symmetry breaking?
Matti: The chronon of subjective time is identifiable in terms of quantum jump.
Chronon is a soliton. These times (subjective and objective) are not same (irreversility of the subjecitve time contra reversibility of geometric time). This leads from the usual positive energy ontology to zero energy ontology (ZEO) in which quantum states are pairs of positive and negative energy states with opposite conserved quantum numbers assignable to the future and past boundaries.
ZEO can also be linked to perceptions and measurements, and memories. ZEO allows maximal free will since any zero energy state can in principle be achieved from given one. Negentropic maximazing principle NMP states that the reduction of entanglement entropy in state function reduction is maximal. Information is lost in the symmetry breaking with the choice made. Something new is built instead in the decoherence pattern, the result of the symmetry breaking. This we have all experienced when we learn something. We have to choose. We have to leave something behind (collapse it) but we gain a new awareness. In TGD this is said as 'consciousness will always be lost'. From reorganization of consciousness we get awareness. This is eg. a mathematical process.
The outcome of the random walk is also invoked on by the algebraic modification. Shannon entropy + primes gives the borders, and probabilities are logaritms, with maximal negentropy for a unique prime (the border). Information is carried by entanglement (with superpositions also of the information) but there are finite amounts of probabilities then too. Entangleed state can be stable against state function reduction. Correlates of intention and cognition is interpreted as p-adic algebra. Thus we get entangled states (selves of mind and matter) entangled with environment (temp, pH, pressure etc.) to get the reactive space life need.
Matti: Life corresponds to negentropic entanglement possible in the rational intersection of real and p-adic worlds (matter and cognition).
