My heterosexual life mate and I were talking about quantum states and the act of deciding or making decisions. Now some of you know that I am a being of chaos but even I have my solidifying states in which I really must have my firm constants. My friend is even more chaotic than I in which he would rather have things more quantum and chaotic than even myself.
A little explanation is due. This all started with a basic decision on what video game he was to play. He was recently attempting to play a game and it would freeze frequently unduly making the game unplayable - yet this was on my Playstation and not his. I told him to try it on his and see if it works. Essentially the quantum state is that it does not work on my Playstation and that it does work on his yet the act of not doing it leaves the process in a forever looped state of not working and working at the same time. If he plays the game on his Playstation and it works than the event as a whole is no longer quantum but concrete. If it fails; still, the event is no longer quantum and concrete as a failure. I haven't talked to him today to see what came of it but knowing him the event is still in a quantum-chaotic state.
What happens if we apply this to other situations? What about asking a girl out... to ask her out and she says no or yes the matter is no longer quantum. To not ask her out the matter lies in uncertainty and at that point it is the ideal of possibility. This happens all the time in which you go through interactions with people and may wonder "What happens if I ask them out, right now? would they say yes? would they say no?" What if you just don't (and probably most likely) don't ask them out than the whole situation is both and neither at the same time. The whole situation is yes and no and also non-existent at the same time.
Quantum stuff is weird though. It is far too easy to say "You oaf!! Look here you, if you don't ask her out than you just never asked her out! It can't be both and neither at the same time!" Of course it can, that is the fun with quantum states. Although, I am a little too affirmative and capricious to leave things quantum. I'll act on an impulse to find a certainty. I'll ask the girl out because the possibility and the quantum state alone will drive me weird. I must have the no and I must have the yes - not either or neither!
What if she says maybe?! Oh gods, then what? Well, I guess quantum states are meant to exist in some fashion or another!
