The potential of a thick present through undefined causality and non-locality

Abstract

The nature of Time is often at the root of the physical debate and possibly sits at the core of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics frameworks incompatibility. In the context of the Free Will theorem and of a spacetime described through information, we identify in a thick present the only quantum information potential needed to describe evolution. The analysis of undefined causal orders (through a quantum Controlled-NOT gate and the evolution of the information along an imaginary time) allowed us to describe entanglement (both in space position and time order) as the potential related to an open choice and expressed in a CTC, which develops in a non-local imaginary space within the thick present considered.

“…This contribution follows a previous work, reported in Ref. [1], in which we have elaborated on a possible interpretation of the nature of time and of entanglement. In the context of a spacetime described through information, we have identified in a thick present the only element of reality in time.…”

“…The hypothesis of a discrete passage of time in the context of a fixed past and an open future has already been elaborated in Ref. [1], where we have concluded the existence of a thick present as the only element of reality in an emerging axis of time. A thick present is intended as a spacelike foliation emerging from a time symmetric description of the quantum potential bounded between -T and +T in respect to a reference at 2kT.…”

“…In a context of entanglement, non-locality and global logical consistency, it is as if ict spatial information only had limited meaning giving the correlation in the thickness of spacetime, as in Ref. [1]. Note that non-local correlations between distant points are always related to past elaboration cycles and cannot in any way allow faster than light communication.…”

“…In Ref. [1], we have studied the relation among entanglement, non-locality, undefined causality, and logical consistency. We have considered entanglement as the coherent superposition of the possible outcomes of an "open choice", in a logically consistent potential that discards under/over-determined solutions.…”
