CONTEXT. “This idea of contextualism can be seen as analogous to the standard idea of wave-particle duality which holds that whether, e.g., an electron is a wave or a particle depends on the experimental context.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

SITUATIONAL ABOVE ALL. “But Bohr also rejects ontological quantum fundamentalism if this is taken to mean that objects are ultimately represented correctly by a wave function. Both because the wave function is symbolic, and because the answer to what an object is, quantum or classical, depends on the context.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

THE FENCE. “This reading of Bohr’s viewpoint might be called restricted quantum universalism. It implies that Bohr rejects epistemological quantum fundamentalism since, in a given experimental context, part of the total system – usually the measuring device – must necessarily be described as classical.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

EITHER OR, NOT BOTH AND. “I think Bohr’s view can be summarized in the claim that any system may in principle be seen as and treated quantum mechanically, but not all systems can be seen as and treated in this way simultaneously.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

Infinity was my first conceptual sculpture in a crude green Girona limestone. Somehow the motif of a snake was involved because the hand sometimes dictates to the Mind. ♾️" "www.nigelfleming.com" "" " @marryme.films" "" "#art #physics #infinity #sculptor #artoftheday #abstractart View in LinkedIn

CONTRADICTORY DATA. “In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance View in LinkedIn

THE LINE. “Bohr insisted that when a measuring apparatus, or parts of it, is treated quantum mechanically, there must then always be a different system which is treated classically.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

Infinity and Zero are the two bookends of mathematics and may be just concepts rather than actual entities. Beyond interesting! ♾️" "www.nigelfleming.com" "" " @marryme.films" "" "#art #physics #infinity #sculptor #artoftheday #abstractart View in LinkedIn

RUSSIAN DOLLS. “Moreover, Bohr stresses that the classical description of objects is strictly speaking valid only as an approximation in the limit where one can ignore the quantum of action. This seems to imply that all objects are in some sense dependent on the quantum of action.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn
