Five theses: And the rest three theses:

1. According quantum information, a
physical meaning has not only |Ψ|2,
but the ψ-function itself.
2. Two ways to describe a physical
object exist: from the object to the
whole (i.e. as moving object in space
time, from the whole to the object (i.e.
as a concrete asymmetry of a fractal
structure representing the whole).
3. Ψ-function represents such a concrete asym-
metry of a fractal structure in space-time.
4. Physical quantity representing a linear and
Hermitian operator in Hilbert space (i.e.
Ψ1→Ψ2 transformation) means some move-
ment of an object in space-time expressed by
means of a change of its definitive asymmetry
with regards to the whole.
5. Being of the physical quantity is information.

The meaning of the report For example, compatibility of:

• Relativity: • Quantum mechanics:

One of the most difficult problems World line Ψ-function
of the philosophy of physics:
Time ? Fractal structure?
ontological compatibilty of From a part to From the whole to a
relativity and quantum mechanics the whole part
The first one is a local theory, the Constancy Probability
second is a global one. Actuality Virtuality

 Building Up of: Meaning of:
• Function of time • Fractal structure
World line: Ψ-function:
Time – t Frequency ν = t-1
point by point level by level
E = m.c2 E = «.ν ν
- any point is a - any level is a level
moment of time of fractal structure dσσ = icδδt + δr dΕΕ = iδδE+cδδp
from a part (here from the whole (here ?
dA = ds.dE = 0, i.e ‘time “ ” fractal’ (1)
and now) to the and now), the 1st le-
whole as deve- vel, to the part as
2. dA = ds.dE = 0, i.e. ‘time “G”fractal’

What may it mean for About †

a part not to be ‘?’ to the whole?
• a part ‰ • the whole
an element Š the set • Constancy:‰ Š • Probability: †
† So constancy converts
into a special case of So probability is
‰ p a: a ‚ {a} = a the relation of
a relation
Š p a: a ‚ {a} =  probability, i.e
the relation of between ‘part’
†p a: : β‰(0,1), β=:0,1 ” ‘Š’, ‘‰’

‘part’ and ‘whole” and ‘whole’

Any element: So any motion as a relation between

two elements may be represented by:
• represents the • represents it it- • change of the ba- • change of the ele-
whole as identity self as differen- sis of the vector ment of the vector
of the levels of ce (deflection) space (i.e. covari- space (i.e. contra-
fractal similarity between the ant change) variant change)
• This is the basis levels
of a vector space This is an Relativity: no experience might differ
(for example Hil- element of a anyway change of the basis from chan-
bert space) ge of the element
vector space

 From “special” to “general” relativity:
Any motion “by itself” represents
a change of a vector space.
The simplest special case is then
when the vector space is “flat”: the
vector space coincides with its
conjugate space (for example Riesz
theorem)
The simplest special case about
subjective and objective probability
• Subjective • Objective
probability: probability:
waiting for the experiencing the
future past
They are ? if and only if : 1) any future
event is independent of any past event;
2) present is but a point
Now about: whether any future event
is independent of any past one?
• The future event • The future event
repeats merely is absolutely
the preceding independent of
any past one
The future event may be causally
conditioned by any past one!
More about that simplest special case:
Any part is independent of the
whole, to which ‘belongs’. We may
also say that the whole is always
the same. That’s way the relation
between ‘whole’ and ‘part’ is equal
to some property of the part
Present is curvature of time!
• subjective proba- • objective proba-
bility bility
• waiting • experiencing
The “length” of present is the measure
of time curvature! This time length is
period of de Broglie’s wave, so it is
inversely of mass: the macro-world is
already “timely flat”!
Get started a new comprehension of
causality!
• Fractal • Absolute indepen-
repetition dence of future from
past (Markov chain)
Causality represented by implication
Model:
Cause ‘0’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘1’
Effect ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘1’
Causality ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘1’

 AlB w (A”B) “ (9A) Probabilistic causality means:

Cause causes effect with

• a fractal part: • a Markov part:
some probability ‘p’: Al#
effect repeats effect is absolutely If cause is available, then
‘fractally’ cause independent of effect is available with
cause probability p. If p = 1:
classical causality; if p=0:A, B
are absolutely independent

Which would the difference ms

ra
between correlation and g b y Venn diag
Explain in
probabilistic causality be?
• A correlates with B• A causes B
• Correlation pre- • Probabilistic ‘probabilistically’
suposes that there causality excludes It means for us
is a real ‘true’
such a real ‘true” to reject:
cause,
cause which is a
hidden (compare cause
with ‘hidden " #"ƒ#
parameter’)

Then ‘probabilistic causality’ Returning to classic causality…

means the following:
• The universal set • We may also think • The whole is the
being common for that the universal same
both A, B doesn’t set changes: t1lt2 • Time is Newton one • All
exist. We may (A‡Ut1 ) l (B‡Ut2 ) • Energy is conserved are
think that they equal
belong to two So some elements • Correlation requires
different univer- of A may disappear, for a hidden cause to
sal sets but new elements exist
may appear in B

 Returning back to probabilistic Probabilistic causality
causality… generalizes per se… relativity
• The whole is not the Now: no diffe-
same This is the
rence whether
• Time is not Newton Realm of any part or
one quantum the whole Probabilistic
• Energy is not con- mechanics

• There are correla-
tions, but there aren’t mation relativity of

And now: an unexpected comparison
… with the math definition of info:
I=¨f(t) ln φ(t) .dt
I=¨f(t) ln φ(t) .dt
f(t)– a slow change, long run
φ(t) – an usual run of time
ln – slows down φ(t) to f(t)
I=¨f(t) ln φ(t) .dt – a measure
of slow change, of long run

 Ψ-function represents such a
concrete asymmetry of a fractal
structure in space-time
••Two ways to describe a physical
object exist:

A way is: from the

object to the whole
– as a moving object
in space-time
Another way is:
from the whole to
the object – as a
concrete asymmetry
of a fractal
structure
representing the
whole

Physical quantity means some

motion of an object in space-time
expressed by means of a change of its
definitive asymmetry with regards to
the whole

Being of the physical quantity is
