Life as the Explanation of the Measurement Problem

TL;DR

This paper proposes that biological life, through its perception mechanisms, offers a solution to the quantum measurement problem by linking it to holographic principles, black hole entropy, and emergent phenomena.

Contribution

It introduces a novel framework connecting life, quantum information, and holography, extending the concept of perception to explain quantum measurement within a unified physical theory.

Findings

Life processes process quantum information via holographic perception.

Black holes generate entropy shells related to Planck triangles and qubits.

Black holes, Turing machines, and viruses cannot act as observers.

Abstract

This study argues that a biological cell, a dissipative structure, is the smallest agent capable of processing quantum information through its holographic triangulated $\textit{sphere of perception}$, where this mechanism has been extended by natural evolution to endo and exosemiosis in multicellular organisms and further to the language of $\textit{Homo sapiens}$. Thus, life explains the measurement problem of quantum theory within the framework of the holographic principle, emergent gravity, and emergent dimensionality. Each Planck triangle on a black hole surface was shown to correspond to a qubit in an equal superposition, attaining known bounds on the products of its energy and orthogonalization interval. Black holes generate entropy variation shells through the solid-angle correspondence. The entropic work introduced the bounds on the number of active Planck triangles dependent on the information capacity of the black hole generator and with at most one active triangle below the unit of black hole entropy. The velocity and dissipativity bounds and the bounds on the theoretical probabilities for active, energy-carrying Planck triangles were derived. In particular, this study shows that black holes, Turing machines, and viruses cannot assume the role of an observer. The entropy variation shells and black-body objects may hint at solutions to ball lightning and sonoluminescence unexplained physical spherical phenomena.
