Physics moves its coded information from fundamental to quantum
VERN BENDER
Physics moves its coded information from the fundamental level to the quantum level. Every function of physics works in this manner.
Consciousness integrates observed events with memory to create an awareness of the scene. It is a subjective sensory consciousness of perceptions and sensations translated into mental images.
Higher-order consciousness means that you are aware of being aware. It also means reflecting and evaluating the past and assessing the future.
The process of consciousness involves complex communications between different areas of the brain. Widespread brain activations occur related to conscious activities. All of your conscious brain systems are switched on during your awake periods. Only the core systems remain on when you are not awake, and the rest are on standby.
Consciousness is a global brain activity. The conscious and unconscious states are hard-wired together, but they can operate separately or together.
The evaluations of conscious inputs are done on a system-specific basis.
The evaluations of behavioral measures and physiological measures pass through a separate array of systems. We make choices—free to choose, kind of. We evaluate causes and outcomes. Conclusions are drawn. Action is at hand. Consciousness operates within a global, integrated system of circuits.
Dreams are at a secondary level of awareness, where a process of self-reflective awareness exists. Dreams are abstract thinking that is linked and integrated yet complex and differentiated.
Consciousness is an emergent feature of complex brains. It is a system feature that does not emerge at the top or any other point in the neural hierarchy. It is a product of the entire system, and many levels contribute to it.
Space (or spacetime) is emergent and emerges from the fundamental level of physics. Matter deforms elastic spacetime (stretching and twisting it), and spacetime tells particles how to move.
Coded information moves from the fundamental state to the quantum state. Every function of physics works in this manner.

There are myriad ways that the colliding particles might morph into and interact with what’s next. There are many intermediate integrals. They hide the straight path among all the other choices.
The bulk spacetime arises as an emergent phenomenon from the fundamental level of physics, which seeds the quantum level of physics that becomes entangled fields and lives within the spacetime boundary. The force of gravity also emerges from the fundamental level of physics. It moves to the quantum level, producing linearized quantum gravity. This results in emergent large-scale excitations that merge with emergent spacetime. It de-localizes during the transition. This is the quantum/gauge duality in action.
The quantum field is curved. It is composed of spacetime of many-bodied quantum systems. It arises from the fundamental level of physics—the properties of microscopic systems of many interacting particles. Curved spacetime becomes quantized.
Gravitational physics and quantum many-body physics, with the double goal of identifying the microscopic constituents of the universe and their fundamental dynamics and understanding their collective properties and how spacetime and geometry emerge from them at macroscopic scales. In this brief contribution, we outline the problem of quantum gravity from this emergent spacetime perspective and discuss some examples in which ideas and methods from quantum many-body systems have a central role in quantum gravity research. Antigravitational properties emanate from the fundamental level of physics to the quantum level, where they are paired up with the gravitons.
The repeated interactions between particles create quantum entanglement correlations. The system’s wave functions hold a large amount of information, and sets of problem-specific approximations abound. Quantum many-body systems are elemental to atomic and nuclear physics, condensed matter, and particle physics.
When particles collide, there are many choices. Observing how electrons move through a magnetic field is complex because too many things can happen.
Dark energy speeds up the growth in the volume of space. As the universe expands over time, these quantum interactions affect its evolution—the dynamics of the universe change, and then overdrive kicks in.
