Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 812 - 141: Subtle Undercurrents [Update 3]

No one knows what Wang Qi's true thoughts are.

The so-called DH—the Multi-History Decoherence Interpretation—isn't really the core of his theory. For him, it is still just a "practice exercise" used to hone his skills.

——Practicing how to transform the physical laws summarized from the Primordial Spirit Qi Universe [a universe where the Spiritual Energy Value is always one] into theorems of this Spiritual Energy Universe.

For Wang Qi, the real challenge is yet to come.

The main event is in the later parts.

For example, the Bell Inequality.

The reason he chose multi-history decoherence as the theory he contemplated when advancing to the Golden Core was to express an attitude——I am paying attention to this field, I am thinking about this field, and I am not satisfied with the current mainstream explanations regarding the "Observer Effect." I hope there exists a completely objective world that is independent of subjective will.

It would be even better if it could trigger a new round of discussion about Quantum Mechanics Interpretation.

Because Wang Qi's next step is the Bell Inequality——the judgment inequality.

The Bell Inequality is a powerful mathematical inequality proposed by Bell in 1964. Under the dual assumptions of locality and reality, this theorem establishes a strict limit on the possible correlation degree when two separated particles are simultaneously measured.

Correlation is a reflection of the degree of cooperation——whether it's astonishing consistency or inconsistency, it's a sign of high cooperation. It's only when there's no obvious tendency towards "consistency" or "inconsistency" that the degree of cooperation is low.

And Quantum Mechanics predicts that under certain circumstances, the degree of cooperation will exceed Bell's limit, that is, the conventional viewpoint of Quantum Mechanics demands that the degree of cooperation between separated systems exceeds the permissible logical extent in any "local realistic" theory.

If this universe's Primordial Spirit Energy environment prohibits the transmission of superluminal signals, then when an observer simultaneously observes two cases, they cannot exchange any information, and the maximum degree of cooperation that can be reached is the limit given by the classical world.

This is the method of judgment that this world's observation means can provide to truly resolve the discrepancies between the Mysterious and the Spiritual.

Moreover, Wang Qi even harbors a faint anticipation in his heart.

——If the Bell Inequality were verified in this world in a completely opposite manner to that in Earth's universe...wouldn't that be interesting!

The so-called scientist is precisely the one who should be excited for unknown phenomena!

To respond to this anticipation, Wang Qi started preparing long ago.

The foundation of the Bell Inequality is probability theory, and Shenzhou's probability theory initially didn't meet the requirements needed for the Bell Inequality, so after Wang Qi's initiation, his first project was probability theory.

He has waited a long time for the Bell Inequality.

——To verify the Bell Inequality in this brand new universe!

——That will be my project to break the Heavenly Barrier and achieve the Primordial Spirit!

Su Junyu, of course, doesn't know the pathways in Wang Qi's heart. However, he still lamented, "Although you say so, I still can't help but care! The history I've experienced, isn't it unique? Didn't I eat noodles for breakfast this morning? Is it possible it was buns? Or porridge? But I clearly remember I only ate noodles... Also, when I played a game of Indeterminate Card, did I really win?"

This is the most bewildering aspect of the DH interpretation.

The history of the universe is actually an overlay of countless histories. What we experience is essentially a superposition of multiple histories. Every event is actually situated in a historical superposition. Initially, people can only observe and describe rough histories. Once details are determined, decoherence occurs, and those histories permanently lose contact.

Take "Schrodinger's cat" as an example. "The cat is dead" and "the cat is alive" are actually superposed. The moment the detail of "the cat's death" is determined, decoherence occurs, and all histories where "the cat is alive" separate from the historical branch where the observer resides, having no more contact with it.

According to Occam's razor, the observer can also regard this part of history as "nonexistent" to themselves.

Take Su Junyu's beloved Indeterminate Card as an example. Theoretically, there exist three kinds of histories "both win and draw," "both win and lose," "both draw and lose." These three histories mathematically form a coherent decoherence group, their probabilities classically superposed, but only one is observed at the same time.

——But then again, in Su Junyu's memory, a card game either results in victory or defeat, with no absurd situation like "both win and lose." Yet mathematically, this is not much different from pure win or loss.

Wang Qi nodded. It seems that Su Junyu does deserve his reputation as a genius, having just read the paper, he already pointed out something critical. Moreover, this can also be considered an inescapable problem of multi-history decoherence.

But who cares?

"Didn't Taiyi Heavenly Venerable once say? Each level has its own rules." Wang Qi patted Su Junyu's shoulder and said, "Decoherence may only exist at the subatomic scale? When transitioning from micro to macro scale, perhaps decoherence is already complete? Who knows?"

Su Junyu frowned, "You don't care?"

"Why should I care? I'm just using mathematics to propose a potential description, that's all."

——By the way, brush up my reputation and merit.

Wang Qi's words made Su Junyu let out a long breath: "I feel much better now."

After all, Su Junyu is a cultivator of the Wanfa Sect, a "mathematician." While Wang Qi is a "theoretical physicist." The former doesn't care about the real world. It's not his field. The latter only hopes to make "inferences" and "predictions" from the "biggest black box" of "nature," guessing what might be inside the box.

Seeing that Su Junyu was no longer entangled in multi-history decoherence, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He shared his thoughts with Su Junyu, especially regarding the matter of "promoting the dataized cultivation method."

After listening, Su Junyu laughed and said: "This, ah, this is actually quite easy."

"How so?" Wang Qi was puzzled. Why did the problem in his mind seem like nothing at all in Su Junyu's words?

"Do you know how I managed to popularize the Wanxiang Diagram?"

Wang Qi shook his head. Honestly, he had been curious about this question for a long time. The users of the Wanxiang Diagram now probably exceeded ten thousand, but he had only asked Su Junyu to help develop and promote it for just a month or two.

This is, after all, Shenzhou and the Immortal Alliance. There's no "multi-platform multi-channel" or "hype." So how on earth did he do it?

"Very simple, the first group of people I mobilized were actually the most outstanding and prominent among our peers," said Su Junyu. "As long as they recognized the superiority of the Wanxiang Diagram, they would 'promote' it automatically. And their 'promotion' becomes something most people can't ignore."

"Once the momentum is established, the remaining ordinary disciples one by one join in. Not to mention several core members of the development group wrote papers about the Wanxiang Diagram, published them, and received quite a few citations."

Wang Qi then realized that advanced languages in Shenzhou were also just emerging projects, making it easy to occupy a piece of high ground, allowing others to cite and earn citations and merit.

"Does this mean I should also write a few papers... Even though I didn't work on proofs in my past life, my mathematical skills in this life are several times better. Doing some work in this area isn't impossible... And after publishing a few high-quality papers, I can attract more cultivators' attention to this area..."

While Wang Qi was pondering this, Su Junyu had already patted his shoulder and said, "Now you understand, right? With benefits and hooks, naturally, you can attract a large batch of low-level disciples whose research directions aren't set yet."

"I understand the benefits, but as for the so-called hooks..."

"I know a Senior Brother who has a quirk. After coming out of seclusion, his first thing is to drink a big glass of cold water. Quite a few people imitate this habit." Su Junyu patted Wang Qi on the shoulder: "Just because he was the chief disciple of that generation."

Wang Qi was dumbfounded. Does this mean that to perfect his cultivation method, the first step is to... become an idol?

Shenzhou Northwest, Mysterious Palace.

A beautiful woman in the Mysterious Palace black uniform, wearing a small hat, smiled while holding a paper and a sword manual. The neckline and cuffs of her robe were outlined with golden lines. This is the mark of a true disciple of the Mysterious Palace.

She quickly read Wang Qi's paper repeatedly, then flipped through the sword manual.

"Indeed, there isn't just one interpretation in the world! Mysterious Uncertainty Cause Sword... Mysterious Uncertainty Cause Sword... different from the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword's Indeterminate Sword..."

"Now, I have two different Indeterminate Swords as references. In that case..."

"My Indeterminate Sword might also succeed!"

Just then, a knock on the door sounded. The woman quickly hid the paper and sword manual in her hand, thinking to herself: "Although my teacher always said I care too much about those trifles, I still feel that discussing the meaning of mysteriousness isn't meaningless."

The woman opened the door and found it was a few familiar junior brothers. Most of them had excited expressions, rushing to ask, "Senior Sister, have you read the paper published by the True Inheritor of the Wanfa Sect? A new interpretation!"

The woman shook her head: "According to the teacher, there's little point in discussing interpretations anymore..."

"But there's a new Indeterminate Sword this time!"

"You must tell the seniors above! As a disciple of the Carefree Stage..."

The woman subtly appeared to have a headache. She asked, "Isn't it Senior Brother Luo's duty today? You should look for him about this kind of thing..."

"But Senior Brother Luo doesn't care at all..."

Wang Qi's paper made a small splash on the ground of the Mysterious Palace.

As for whether it will be amplified into a tsunami by the nonlinear world? Who knows?
