Re: Elsewhere by Benjamin Rosenbaum

Where abstract space becomes time.The possible, subjunctive, the wave
function, in its troublesome relation to the collapsed time-world and
counting perhaps. The impossibility of finding two particles with the
same quantum state at the same time would give these Unlike Themselves
structure and volume. The zero-level not-self jittering becomes the
world - pushing the world forward in a way - through the
irreversibility of quantum decoherence where Not Very becomes not very
likely. Wonder what happens to Not Very's rejected or eroded spaces
through time-decoherence? A noise-barrier? Information as entropy, that
there's no system/world which decodes the information, it remains
impossible, pure information (no knowledge). The two notions of
entropy, through information theory and thermodynamics, could reflect
the same schism, information/Not very and knowledge/Unlike Themselves?
