Foundations of Nonlinear Dynamics or Real Dynamics, Ideal Dynamics, Unpredictable Dynamics and the "Schroedinger's Cat Paradox"

TL;DR

This paper explores fundamental paradoxes in thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, proposing new concepts of Real, Ideal, and Unpredictable Dynamics to address issues of observation, self-knowledge, and the nature of life.

Contribution

It introduces the concepts of Real, Ideal, and Unpredictable Dynamics as a framework to understand quantum and thermodynamic paradoxes.

Findings

Proposes that external observation affects system correlations.

Suggests limits of self-knowledge influence system behavior.

Links dynamics concepts to the phenomenon of Life.

Abstract

The paper discusses the basic paradoxes of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. The approaches to solution of these paradoxes are suggested. The first one relies on the influence of the external observer (environment), which disrupts the correlations in the system. The second one is based on the limits of self-knowledge of the system in case of both the external observer and the environment is included in the considered system. The concepts of Real Dynamics, Ideal Dynamics, and Unpredictable dynamics are introduced. The phenomenon of Life is contemplated from the point of view of these Dynamics.
