Robert J. Sawyer Quote
All right, he said. Since you asked, Webmind is an emergent quantum-computational system based on a stable null-sigma condensate that resists decoherence thanks to constructive feedback loops. He turned to the blackboard, scooped up a piece of chalk, and began writing rapidly. See, he said, using Dirac notation, if we let Webmind’s default conscious state be represented by a bra of phi and a ket of psi, then this would be the einselected basis. His chalk flew across the board again. Now, we can get the vector basis of the total combined Webmind alpha-state consciousness...
