The strangeness of quantum physics often inspires new perspectives on our human experience. In quantum mechanics, we have states and observables. In the “Heisenberg picture”, we think of quantum states as never changing; however, the observables evolve as time goes on, and so the measurement results also evolve with time. I think this is a very interesting metaphor for our human experience.

A short blog post on this idea:👇

Free Energy · A quantum mechanics inspired perspective on our human experienceIn quantum mechanics, we have states and observables. Quantum states (“state vectors”) represent entities such as electrons and photons, and quantum observables interact with the states to yield measurement results that are visible in our physical world, such as a measurement of the spin of an electron.
