Fundamental Measurements in Economics and in the Theory of Consciousness (Manifestation of quantum-mechanical properties of economic objects in slit measurements)

TL;DR

This paper introduces a constructivist model linking quantum-mechanical principles to economic and consciousness systems, emphasizing measurable properties and local decision principles, with classical interpretations of entanglement.

Contribution

It proposes a novel quantum-inspired framework for economics and consciousness modeling, integrating measurement theory and classical entanglement interpretation.

Findings

Classical interpretation of quantum probability addition law

Introduction of 'local equity' principle in economic transactions

Entanglement modeled with classical mechanisms in economic systems

Abstract

A new constructivist approach to modeling in economics and theory of consciousness is proposed. The state of elementary object is defined as a set of its measurable consumer properties. A proprietor's refusal or consent for the offered transaction is considered as a result of elementary economic measurement. We were also able to obtain the classical interpretation of the quantum-mechanical law of addition of probabilities by introducing a number of new notions. The principle of "local equity" assumes the transaction completed (regardless of the result) of the states of transaction partners are not changed in connection with the reception of new information on proposed offers or adopted decisions (consent or refusal of the transaction). However it has no relation to the paradoxes of quantum theory connected with non-local interaction of entangled states. In the economic systems the mechanism of entangling has a classical interpretation, while the quantum-mechanical formalism of the description of states appears as a result of idealization of the selection mechanism in the proprietor's consciousness.
