Does quantum mechanics allow 'hidden variables' to decide quantum outcomes, fine-tuning the emergence and evolution of the outer world? While several 'no-go' theorems have ruled out any possibility of local hidden variables playing a part in quantum decision making, the way is still open for global
The 2013 paper Quantum States as Ordinary Information by Ken Wharton offers a new, and realistic, way of understanding quantum mechanics. It also fits very neatly into the dual inner and outer domains picture of The Cosmic Computer, where each domain has its own reference system – spatial coordinates for the
How do our silicon chips compare with Nature's processing? The Margolus-Levitin value for the natural processing rate in matter is 5 x 1050 logic operations per second per kilogram, and the silicon in a typical chip weighs about 2 x 10-3 kg (2 gm), so the natural processing
