Removing unproven assumptions in quantum theory: A novel multilevel understanding of reality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It has been observed that major changes in physics occurred through the giving up of unproven assumptions. Here, three unproven assumptions are examined. First, the recently argued denial of particles’ existence is reassessed. Second, Einstein’s former questioning about the objectivity of the 3-space is examined through the lens of neuroscience: it is our acts of perception which create the different types of objects of the 3D-world, these acts have dramatic consequences, and they should not be overlooked. The latter does not mean that there is no objective reality, it does not make physics fall into idealism; the objective reality is merely displaced to a lower level of reality which the 3-space is the perception of. This underlying reality is not foreign to physics; it already features in Bohmian mechanics where the waves reside in the configuration space. Consequently, the abstraction of the configuration space is the third unproven assumption which is challenged. Following these three successive refutations, a multilevel picture of reality emerges, where the subjective and intersubjective 3-space is constituted of the (mostly) deceptive appearances created by our individual and collective perceptions of a nonapparent, fluid, very likely energy-based, objective physical reality which resides in the configuration space. The wave-only version of Bohmian mechanics or “Wave Theory” and the relativistic Quantum Field Theory are the relevant theories for this new picture, in which the conundrums, including the measurement problem, disappear. It is explained how this new picture might also shed some new light on the cosmological constant problem, the elusive “quantum/general relativity” unification, and additionally the unanswered question of what consciousness is.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
