1028 hours. I just finished re-reading
yesterday's post, something that I rarely do. It is as honest a piece that has
ever been placed in this blog. - rho
You ran out of words rather quickly here,
boy. No need for any more on the subject. You are wondering on the last two
hundred or so words for Brothers 21. Though your heartanmind lack the
wherewithal and the vocabulary, your soul has no such lacking, particularly on
the subject of spooky entanglement. Recopy here for your immediate reference. -

Spooky entanglement

University of Innsbruck
One of the strangest
predictions of the theory of quantum mechanics is that particles can become
"entangled" so that even after they are separated in space, when an
action is performed on one particle, the other particle responds immediately.
In June 2009 scientists announced
they had measured entanglement in a new kind of system – two separated pairs of
vibrating particles. Previous experiments had entangled the internal properties
of particles, such as spin states, but this was the first time scientists had
entangled the particles' pattern of motion, which is a system that resembles
the larger, everyday world.

What is the difference between a 'particles'
pattern of motion' and a human verbal pattern of thought in the motion across a
page from left to right (in the English language)? - Amorella
I don't know.
Do the thoughts not spin in the mind first,
do not words vibrate when spoken? - Amorella
Ideas sometimes appear to spin in the
mind; words do vibrate as sound when spoken.
As any lawyer will tell you words become
entangled in the grammar of sentences and paragraphs. Words are separated by
space. Other parts of speech center on the action or state of being verb first.
Can a case be made that thoughts then are a form of entanglement from the light
frequency involved in the brain waves conjuring an idea or concept and then
discovering a way to express it through a human language? - Amorella
1052 hours. I think I may have
mistranslated your thought along the way. I am grasping onto the concept, onto
the analogy you are formulating. I would not have a clue on how to put this
into a simple form of communication, but I have a base here, now, to ponder.
This is really interesting, Amorella. I will have to pass this on to Doug for
his thoughts. He is a better thinker than I am. Your concept is interesting to
say the least. If it will work, putting this in Brothers 21, in 250 or so words
will be a challenge. At least it appears so at this early stage. To set up a
metaphor as a theatrical stage might work. I don't know. This is very enjoyable
to consider. I feel the soul is enlightened by a sense of joy and discovery.
(How's that statement for a little theatre?) Humor. I see humor. This is
usually a good sign.
1115 hours. A flash of memory unthought
before - Bob died on my grandfather's birthday (Clell Tullar Orndorff, 31
August 1895 - 31 December 1974).
This is more 'humanity' boy, making
something out of nearly nothing.
Such is the humor of having humanity in
the first place.
Early afternoon. You had a good lunch at
Smashburgers and Carol is in Hallmark at VOA shopping for a card for Kim. Transfer what
we have of Brothers 21 to the document and we will go from there. - Amorella
Mid-afternoon. You revised and clarified,
dropping from 506 words to 478. You were at Rose Hill Cemetery doing some work
when you noticed Carol was not reading -- she had brought the wrong paperback.
So, you are home inside where it is much more comfortable than the upcoming
August heat and rising humidity. Check your email, boy. - Amorella
1545 hours. Doug not only gave a thumbs up
on the analogy he sent me other new information which may be related. Here it

Teleportation:
Behind the Science of Quantum Computing
Researchers were able to reliably teleport information between
quantum bits.
Melody Kramer
National Geographic
Published
August 14, 2013
It might seem like
something straight from the Star Trek universe, but two new research
experiments—one involving a photon and the other involving a super-conducting
circuit—have successfully demonstrated the teleportation of quantum bits.
If that sounds like
gobbledygook, don't worry. We got in touch with one of the researchers,
physicist Andreas Wallraff, of the Quantum Device Lab at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology Zurich, to explain how his team and a team based at the
University of Tokyo were able to reliably teleport quantum states from one
place to another.
People have done
this before but it hasn't necessarily been reliable. The new complementary
research, which comes out in Nature today, is reliable—and therefore may
have widespread applications in computing and cryptography.
Before we talk
about the nitty-gritty part of teleportation, we need to define a few key
words. Let's start with a regular, classical bit of information, which
has two possible states: 1 or 0. This binary system is used by
basically all computing and computing-based devices. Information can be stored
as a 1 or a 0, but not as both simultaneously. (Related: "The Physics
Behind Schrodinger's Cat.")
But a quantum
bit of information—called a qubit—can have two values at the same time.
"With the
qubit, you can store more information because you have information in all of
its possible states," Wallraff says. "Whereas in the classical memory
system, only one can be stored." (More physics: "The Physics Behind
Waterslides.")
Quantum
teleportation relies on something called an entangled state. An
entangled state, in the words of Wallraff, is a "state of two quantum bits
that share correlations." In other words, it's a state that can't be
separated.
If you have a
classical 1 and a 0, for example, you can separate them into a 1 and a 0. But
if you have qubits, the bits can be assigned both a 1 and a 0 at the same
time—meaning they can't be separated into their individual components and must
be described relative to each other. (If you'd like to know more about this, I
recommend delving into "Quantum Entanglement" on the Caltech
website.)
Diving Into
Teleportation
Now that we have a
small working vocabulary, we can delve into what Wallraff and team actually
did.
Let's go back to Star
Trek.
"People automatically
think about Star Trek when they hear teleportation," says Wallraff.
"In Star Trek, it's the idea of moving people from point A to B
without having the person travel that distance. They disappear and then
reappear."
What happens in
quantum teleportation is a little bit different. The bits themselves don't
disappear, but the information about them does.
"That's where
the relation to Star Trek comes in," says Wallraff. "You can make the
information disappear and then reappear at another point in space."
So how does this
work? Remember, we're talking about quantum bits—which can hold two possible
states at the same time.
"You can ask yourself, 'How can I transport the information
about this bit from one place to another?'" says Wallace. "If you
want to send the information about the qubit from point A to B, the information
at point A [contains] 0 and 1 simultaneously."
It's impossible
using classical bits to transmit this information because, as we learned
earlier, the information can be stored as 1s or 0s but not both. Quantum
teleportation gets around this problem. (Related: "Physicists Increasingly
Confident They've Found the Higgs Boson.")
This is where those
entangled states I mentioned earlier come into play. In quantum teleportation,
a pair of quanta in an entangled state is sent to both a sender—which I'll call
A—and a receiver—which I'll call B. A and B then share the entangled pair.
"The sender
takes one of the bits of the entangled pair, and the receiver takes the
other," says Wallraff. "The sender can run a quantum computing
program measuring his part of the entangled pair as well as what he wants to
transport, which is a qubit in an unknown state."
Let's untangle what
he said: The sender—A—makes a measurement between his part of the entangled
pair and what he wants to transport.
Back to you,
Wallraff.
"So we have
this measurement, and that's what is sent to the receiver via a classical
bit," he says.
The
receiver—B—receives the measurement between A's part of the entangled pair and
the unknown qubit that A wants to send. After B receives this measurement, he
runs a quantum computing algorithm to manipulate his part of the entangled pair
in the same way. In the process, B re-creates the unknown qubit that A sent
over—without receiving the qubit itself.
I realize this is confusing.
But Why Is It
Useful?
The advances these
two research groups have made may improve the way quantum bits are sent,
leading to faster processors and larger-scale encryption technologies.
Encryption
technology—which is used by everyone from credit card companies to the NSA—is
based on the fact that it's really, really hard to find factors of very large
prime numbers. And quantum computing is extremely useful for factoring very
large prime numbers.
Dividing or
multiplying numbers is fairly easy for any computer, but determining the
factors of a really large 500- or 600-digit number is next to impossible for
classical computers. But quantum computers can process these numbers easily and
simultaneously.
Credit card
companies, for instance, assign users a public key to encode credit card
information. The key is the product of two large prime numbers, which only the
website seller knows. Without a quantum computer, it would be impossible to
figure out the two prime numbers that are multiplied together to make the
key-which protects your information from being shared. (For more info, read
this really useful guide about the basics of quantum computing from the University of
Waterloo.)
"If you wanted
to use classical bits to do this, it wouldn't be efficient," says
Wallraff. In other words, classical computers—the ones we use now for most
stuff—can't do any of the things quantum computers can do on a large scale.
So while we might not be beaming Scotty up just yet, our
computers, it appears, are one step closer to doing so.

1739 hours. What I like Amorella is that I
am beginning to make the abstract heartansoulanmind less abstract. It is
becoming, presently, jellyfish-like in the physics of definition and movement.
Let's stick with something simple here as
you have been researching into many more facts than are needed. - Amorella
** **
Jellyfish form and function
Jellyfish
are one of the first multicellar animals (metazoans) to have evolved. They are
simple animals, in that they contain only a few cell types and body parts, but
are incredibly complex and diverse in their forms, functions and ecological
roles.
As a
result of their simplicity, jellyfish enable us to observe, perhaps more
directly than any other metazoan, how closely linked the different jellyfish
forms are to their function and ultimately to their ecological role. In fact,
with little exception, form seems to define the function and ecological role of
jellyfish.
Jellyfish
are animals (specifically zooplankton) that primarily live up in the water
column (except for Cassiopia). As a result, all jellyfish have been
faced with the problem of how to interact with the fluid around them
effectively enough to successfully move, capture food, avoid being eaten and
reproduce for survival.
Many
different solutions have evolved over the last 500 million years. The multitude
of jellyfish forms illustrate these solutions because the form of a jellyfish
determines how it interacts with the fluid (e.g., how it swims). This, in turn,
determines how the jellyfish captures its food, how much it eats, who it eats
and who eats it (in other words its function). These different feeding traits
in conjunction with where the jellyfish lives, define the ecological role of
the jellyfish.
It
has been the goal of the collaboration between John
H. Costello and Sean P. Colin to understand the relationships
between form and function in medusae and to understand how this has influenced
the evolution of jellyfish. This website is designed to summarize some of the
results of this collaboration.

Carol made scrambled eggs mixed with
cherry tomatoes and two kinds of cheese for supper, then you watched last
night's Masterpiece Theatre, a remake of an old Hitchcock thriller, "The
Lady Vanishes" and last week's "Motive". You are thinking about
going to bed because you cannot as yet pull the dialogue together for Brothers
21. - Amorella
2137
hours. Surely after all this the conclusion will have some kick to it, but as
usual, I am at a loss.
Carol called you outside to look at the
almost full moon. She was looking straight up at stars while searching for
planets. You pointed out at least one and said that it might be Jupiter though
it was not so bright because of the haze. It is not a good night for astronomy
from your perspective. - Amorella
You
re-read the recent material and have put together a partial paragraph on
entangled states; another partial paragraph on quantum teleportation; and a
third partial paragraph on the form and function of a jellyfish from today's
notes. You want to summarize then condense them together in some sort of
dialogue but you are going about it in the wrong way. This is to be a focus on
classical inductive logic. You have your observations first. Put those
together, or rather let Robert and Richard put them together. - Amorella
What
is the catalyst? We have a crossroad, a marquee, a poem (grammar) on the many
faces of Lillian Gish and four retired couples (one set of twins) having fresh
donuts from Schneider's (close in pronunciation of Schrodinger’s [cat]) bakery.
Is a twin an example of a physical entanglement? Is the heartansoulanmind a
'quantum-like entanglement? A jelly donut?
Now you are cooking with gas. Have some fun
with this. We'll complete Brothers 21 tomorrow. - Amorella
2213
hours. In the 1960's while at Whitehall-Yearling High School in Columbus I used
to give a 'creative' assignment by giving the students three unlike nouns and
they had to write a one-page story in which the three nouns were central to the
plot of the story. I don't know how much fun they were for the students to
write but they were fun to read. This is somewhat like this writing assignment,
the conclusion to Brothers 21.
Really. Who would have thought? Post,
orndorff. - Amorella
This
is fun, Amorella. Creating a story is fun, no question about it.
Such lines to be written by an agnostic, no questions no
less. No stage present, but you know your lines. - Amorella
