It's actually not that trivial. See, the sparse google results for an inquiry on the issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=quantum+mechanics+and+entr...

Yeah, I suppose my question is simply the relation between quantum mechanics and entropy in general for localized systems, and seemingly nobody can pr...

I'm inclined to suppose that time evolution of stochastic systems describe the tendency of fit for stochastic measurements to produce decoherence as T...

Well, I know of only von Neumann entropy in stochastic Quantum Mechanics. Yet, there's not really any literature out there pointing towards the entrop...

The people in the dream. Those mysterious homunculi that populate your dreams. Who the fuck are those people? =]

Dreaming entails producing sensations or what I call 'qualia' from past experiences in an amalgamate manner. Manny of the experiences are qualitative ...

That's interesting about identity. But, I surmise that due to regulations and oversight much of this will be limited to the ultra-rich initially and t...

But, it's still a qualia to experience whilst dreaming, no?

Yes

Let me provide an example: Listening to Mozart whilst in a dream is what can be called a qualia?

In a dream this happens all the time. Everything in a dream is qualitative in manner to be more clear, with the observer or subject further experience...

I am not entirely certain. It seems to me that when one experiences something on top of what is or has been experienced, then the denotation of 'quali...

And something else that's pretty neat from the Tractarian: 5.64, Wittgenstein asserts that “Here it can be seen that solipsism, when its implications ...

Thanks for the comment on the PLA. In like here's one: P.M.S Hacker provides the following: What the solipsist means, and is correct in thinking, is t...

Yeah, there's a lot of philosophical questions here to go about. I mean, life with respect to death or boredom, which are prominent topics in philosop...

Very true. But, technically, we have some idea of what solipsism may mean by the mere fact that we experience a world like a solipsist would every nig...

Enabled by REM sleep, perhaps? Epistemic solipsism seems to me to be a viable position to hold in regards to the indubitability of the solipsist's wor...

Well, a person during the REM phase of dreaming is quite solipsistic, don't you think? And in even in a higher state of consciousness during a dream p...

But, entropy makes everything quite a bit more deterministic. Whilst QM remains elusive for high variance in temperature gradients for atomic elements...

More of the sort of epistemically, they are certain of everything going around them, to the best of their knowledge.

Only within a certain stochastic process governed by entropy, surely?

True, true. Yet, I think it has to do also with some kind of damp affective feel towards stimuli.

Just doing a second reading, and I suppose this should read: A solipsist knows there are no other minds.

Not true, given a bona fide definition and scope of the issue. Intentionally there's no doubt. Extensionally there should be none.

@"Banno", can a solipsist logically doubt?

Well, yes it's all fun and games. But, I'm interested in the notion that doubt creates a bedrock (Wittgenstein/Descartes) where knowledge can begin. T...

Then how can you doubt yourself as a solipsist when you are the same as the World? Or does this world expand when you doubt and can learn new things? ...

Either way, particular or universal, the self is the ultimate truth for the solipsist in His or Her own World, epistemically. So, you cannot be doubti...

For all that exists, what is it that you are doubting as a solipsist. Are you really a solipsist?

To say that one is a solipsist is to affirm that one is one and the same with the world, à la Wittgenstein. Hence, indubitable certainty or epistemic ...

One interesting point given stochastically evolving QM'cal wavefunctions is that the simulated universe hypothesis would have to incorporate some kind...

Well, empirically I've heard of a patient with his amygdala damaged who lived in a state of apathy due to not being able to decide anything. Poor guy ...

What makes you say that? I've had some premonition that apathy is expressed due to too much rationality.

Turn your sadness into anger.

Checking out Fashwave, lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5117AdlIU0

Mainly historical. But, the divergence is stipulated by science.

I'm pretty sure that bias has been operating in the background. I fathom that in the near future with all the brain datasets from companies that utili...

Something about QM: If the wavefunction evolves, then temperature gradients determine how it does due to lower entropy.

Sorry, that's a de re. De dicto, de jure, and de facto's take precedence to determine the de re's.

It seems strange to incorporate 2D semantics where the referent isn't subject to modalities like Hesperus or Phosphorus. Hence the need for an actual ...

Personally, I believe decoherence happens whilst the wavefunction evolves during that event. That's what has got me pondering on the truth that Bell's...

Naming and Necessity. It's cheap.

Yeah, I was just pointing out that's it's not really chemistry; but, science ad hoc, according to Kripke.

How so? Point it out for me.

Yes, modally, de jure is what Kripke calls it in technically true terms.

Extension? Meaning is not relevant here, but what is, is that the extension is enabled for lack of a better term, by science.

Banno plays a confusing game. Transworld identification between world alleviates the referent issue, and a pinch of scientific thought about the misno...

Between two words (de facto) they denote the same thing, with the scientific understanding being, XnY or H2O

So, it's essentially pessimism, right? What about being not optimistic about this all; but, rather pragmatic in stating that aging should be lessened ...
