Quantum Information is defined as "information about the state of a quantum system". Developed from quantum mechanics, communication theory, atomic physics, relativity, computer science, mathematics, and cryptography, and information theory), it is the subject of study of "quantum information theory". It is information from matter on a microscopic scale.

As stated by the uncertainty principle, non-commutative quantum observables cannot be measured simultaneously with infinite precision. A quantum state can never provide definitive information about such observables. Quantum states, and the results of their measurements, must be expressed in probabilistic, non‑deterministic terms. Quantum Information Science studies how Information is extracted from the quantum properties of microscopic objects.

Without entering this vast domain, we highlight a few aspects that emerge from the peculiar vision proposed in this evolutionary model. These themes will return in the next chapter, in relation to the nature and dynamics of the Structures of Information — Vortices/Particles, Waves, and Interactions — that constitute Ordinary (visible) Matter and the two forms of Radiation (Gravitational Waves and Electromagnetic Waves).

Quantum Superposition

One of the bizarre ideas of quantum mechanics is that microscopic objects tend to behave like waves. The wave function, governed by the Schrödinger equation, is often represented as a superposition of simpler wave functions. From this approach it seems to follow that a quantum object can be in multiple quantum states at the same time until an interaction event produces decoherence.

I have always thought that the term "wave function" is misleading. It adds confusion to an already complex phenomenological domain. The reference to "waves" in "wave mechanics" is equally inappropriate, since Waves and Particles, although sharing a deep nature, belong to different ontological and phenomenal classes. In my opinion, this represents an insurmountable obstacle to the evolution of knowledge of the quantum world.

We will see later how in this model the quantum phenomenon of superposition of quantum states is explained / explainable on the basis of a particular hypothesis on the nature and dynamics of microscopic objects (waves, particles, etc.) that we call here Structures of Information. The hypothesis proposes a detailed and concrete vision of the Form of these Structures, which share nature and fundamental dynamic principles, although possessing different specific forms. From this premise it follows that these objects, in the various typologies (Vortices and Waves) and combinations (Interactions and Mixed Structures), tend to behave in similar ways that in the belief of conventional physics are predominantly associated with wave-type objects.

This hypothesis consists in thinking and believing that Vortices (Particles) and Waves, therefore respectively corpuscular objects and undulatory objects:

• have spatial extension, therefore they are not point-like objects, they have internal and external structure even though, for Waves and elementary Vortices (e.g. electron), they are not constituted by parts or sub-structures (e.g. sub particles)
• are characterized by a complex and multifaceted dynamics that allows such objects to exhibit partial states, or variable / evolving differently in portions of the occupied Space-time, or said in terms more consistent with this model, in portions of the Elementary Field that from time to time support the various portions that constitute the Structures in question

In this model, the phenomenon of quantum superposition is explained through the nature and dynamics of microscopic objects conceived as Structures of Information. These Structures share fundamental principles but possess different specific Forms. Vortices (Particles) and Waves:

• have spatial extension, therefore they are not point‑like objects
• exhibit complex internal dynamics, allowing different portions of the Structure to express different quantum states

We may therefore imagine an elementary Vortex/Particle as a complex object, not composed of parts, but not monolithic. Different portions of the Structure, incessantly evolving due to internal and external dynamics, can exhibit different quantum states (e.g., different Spin orientations).

How can we represent the Quantum Information of such an object? Since we cannot map the evolution of each event‑point that supports the Structure, we must use a composition index that indicates how much of the Structure exhibits state A and how much exhibits state B at a given instant. Each event‑point has its own quantum state, influenced by the spontaneous turbulence of the Field, by internal oscillations, and by external interactions.

The Form of an InfoStructure is therefore in constant mutation. The properties and behaviors of an elementary Particle such as an electron arise from the combination of an immense number of correlated event‑point dynamics. The measure and the form of this correlation represent the Information (and therefore the Energy) of the Structure.

I call this feature "polydynamism". Although elementary, these Structures show:

• continuous spatial variation of (internal) dynamics
• continuous temporal evolution
• portions with different dynamic/structural modalities (e.g., different Spin directions)

Polydynamism and polydynamicity manifest in both Ordinary Matter and Dark Matter. In the first case we may speak of Quantum Polydynamism; in the second, of Dark Polydynamism. The phenomenon is the same; what differs are the features of the dynamics and the Structures produced. While at the quantum level we will (so to speak) observe superposition, entanglement, and so on, at the dark or cosmic level we will observe a multiplicity of dynamics in the interactions between turbulence and halos, galactic bubbles, filaments, voids, walls, etc., with effects (gravitational, magnetic, and so forth) that may even appear unusual on the Ordinary Matter components of the Cosmic Web.

In summary, the key aspects to understanding the weirdness of quantum states are:

• Uncertainty
• Spatial extension
• Turbulent nature
• Continuous mutation
• Polydynamism

Measurement

What happens when these mutable and polydynamic Structures undergo a measurement interaction? Consider measuring the Spin direction of an electron. In extreme synthesis, we use a magnetic field — a Derived Physical Field corresponding to the Component of Elementary Action called Rotation:AxisOrientation.

The magnetic field induces a reorientation of the Spin of the Particle. The correlation scheme (Information) that gives Form to the Structure interacts with the correlation scheme of the Field in the measurement region. All event‑points supporting the Structure undergo this reorientation. The superposition collapses to a defined Spin value (within the uncertainty of the Field's turbulence).

After the interaction, due to turbulence, internal dynamics, and external influences, polydynamism progressively resumes. A new superposition of quantum states forms until the next interaction.

Collapse of the wave function

A magnetic field, which consists of the more or less intense correlation of the Rotation:AxisOrientation of the event points of the portion of the Field affected by the magnetization, has the characteristic of inducing a reorientation of the Spin of the Particles present in the aforementioned portion of the Elementary Field. The correlation scheme (Information) that characterizes and gives Form to the Structure (Effective Energy of the Particle, which appears to us as Spin oriented in a specific spatial direction), interfering with the correlation scheme that characterizes the dynamics of the Elementary Field in the portion in which the magnetic field used for the measurement manifests itself, is modified and reoriented in the direction of the aforementioned magnetic field.

The collapse corresponds to the instantaneous reorganization of the Structure’s correlation scheme. The Rotation:AxisOrientation Component becomes aligned with the magnetic field. The wave function collapses because the underlying Structure has been reconfigured.

All the event points that support the Structure undergo this reorientation, which translates into the variation of the direction of Spin of the Particle used for the experiment. This variation is practically instantaneous, it occurs in a very rapid time, and affects all the points event that support the Structure regardless of their dynamic situation (Rotation:AxisOrientation) or quantum state of the event point or portion of the Structure (Spin orientation of the point or portion of the Particle). In clearer terms, the electron that can have any Spin orientation (any point of a sphere with the electron at the center, a point intersected by the positive direction of the Spin axis of the Particle itself) undergoes a magnetic interaction that produces a reorientation of all the points of its correlation scheme (points of the space occupied by the Structure) by point interaction with the points event of the portion of the Elementary Field that instant after instant (in the temporal continuum) supports the moving Structure.

This dynamic translates precisely into a reorientation of the direction of the electron's Spin, with alignment of the Rotation:AxisOrientation Component of all its point events. The superposition collapses on a defined value of Spin (except for the ever-present uncertainty related to the natural spontaneous turbulence of the Elementary Field), oriented to the lines of the magnetic field used for the measurement. And obviously the wave function that describes the evolution of the quantum states that make up the aforementioned superposition collapses.

From this moment, due to the turbulence of the Field, the internal dynamics and above all the incessant interactions of the Structure with the external environment in which it is immersed, the expression of the characteristic polydynamics of Information Structures resumes. Therefore, in a time variable according to these factors, a superposition of quantum states will reform, until the next interaction or measurement.

Entanglement

Before closing this section, it is worth recalling one of the strangest and most divisive phenomena in the history of physics — together with the interference pattern in the double‑slit experiment. Quantum entanglement has pushed generations of physicists away from the safe shores of relativistic realism and into the perilous waters of non‑locality.

Reduced to its essence, entanglement is the situation in which two quantum objects — photons, electrons, atoms — that undergo a specific interaction begin to behave as if they were a single composite system. Their quantum state is no longer the sum of two individual states, but a superposition that represents the combined system. Measuring one immediately reveals the state of the other, even when they are separated by large distances.

Rivers of ink (virtual, of course) have been spent trying to explain this weirdness. Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics struggle to reconcile it with locality. But I do not think we should abandon locality. If there is a connection between the two Structures — and there is — the connection is logical, not physical, in a conventional sense. Each Structure carries with it all the Quantum Information necessary to implement its correlated (weird) behavior. Their states are complete, physically separate, but logically related.

The key lies in the nature and form of the Structures involved, and in particular in their "polydynamics". The quantum state of each Structure is not defined (superposition), but both evolve in parallel, in physically distant regions, following the same polydynamic pattern. This parallel evolution continues until an interaction destroys the entanglement (decoherence).

The peculiarity of the entangled state is that Nature allows us to peek at the quantum state of one Structure without resetting the polydynamic evolution of the other. It is as if we could perform a measurement that reveals the Information of a quantum state without influencing it — something normally impossible. Entanglement gives us this exceptional window: we glimpse polydynamics at work without erasing it through measurement.

The Schrödinger equation precisely describes the evolution of the quantum states of particles through the phenomenon of polydynamics, which corresponds to the structural Property that I call here polydynamicity.

A final clarification. I speak of measurement because it is significant that we obtain Quantum Information. But to make all this happen — superposition, interaction, collapse, entanglement, decoherence — no observer or consciousness is required. Any interaction in the Universe is sufficient.
