[MD] Quantum Physics

[Ant McWatt]

Ant stated December 2nd:

Regarding the MOQ, I think it would be better to say that quantum physics is 
solely concerned with explaining and manipulating inorganic static quality 
patterns _at the micro-level_ rather than the interaction-point between 
_all_ DQ and SQ.

To say quantum physics is “The interaction point between [all] DQ and SQ” 
doesn’t seem to lay right with me as that same sentence could be describing 
the continual interaction between an artist and a canvass or other 
interactions which are part of the macro world (for instance, in the 
biological and social realms) rather [than] the micro world.  In other 
words, the definition you give above is too reductionist (towards 
ontological materialism)!


Spiritual Adirondack noted:

SA,

I think from the conventional view of the MOQ, you are conflating the code 
of Art with the Quality Event.  A Quality Event can follow a static path 
(i.e. what has been traditionally regarded as good) _or_ a new Dynamic “code 
of Art” path (which has never been tried before).  Moreover, as I noted in 
my original comment above, there are better explanations for most macro 
scale behaviour than those provided by quantum mechanics.  For instance, 
does an anthropologist or a politician have any use for quantum theory (or 
even physics) in understanding social patterns of value?  And even within 
the field of physics, Newtonian mechanics is sometimes better to use than 
quantum mechanics when calculating the movement of relatively large scale 
objects (because its formulae are simpler and quicker to use).

The assumption that quantum physics is “The interaction point between [all] 
DQ and SQ” reminds me of the consciousness “problem” of all these SOM 
philosophers who forget that quantum mechanics is simply a _ provisional_ 
set of concepts that (presently) work fine when dealing with micro scale 
inorganic static patterns rather than the _“literal”_ way things are.  That 
quantum mechanics is not integrated with the Theory of Relativity indicates 
that a better set of concepts (in a “Grand Unified Theory”) will almost 
certainly arrive eventually.

Best wishes (for the wood),

Anthony.
