Introduction
Modern science still does not provide a clear answer to the question: how is reality fixed? Quantum mechanics has shown that a particle exists in a state of superposition until it is measured, but what exactly causes the collapse of the wave function?
The classical interpretation states: “Observation fixes reality.” But what if it is not the observer themselves that matters, but rather the availability of information?
This article introduces a new concept of Semantic Physics, where reality is not static but is formed through the accessibility of meanings. Collapse is not merely a physical process but an act of meaning fixation in the realm of consciousness.
1. Why doesn’t the materialist model work?
๐น In quantum mechanics, reality is fixed only at the moment of measurement. ๐น If the measurement is canceled or the data is erased, the particle remains in an indeterminate state. ๐น This contradicts the notion of the world as an independent physical system.
๐ก If reality is objective, why does it depend on observation?
Materialism fails to explain:
โ Why erasing information “undoes” collapse. โ Why reality is only fixed when information becomes available. โ How meaning influences the physical existence of matter.
2. The World of Meanings: A New Paradigm of Reality
๐น Classical physics asserts that matter is primary. ๐น We propose: meaning is primary, and matter is its manifestation. ๐น Reality is fixed when information becomes meaningful and accessible to consciousness.
๐ What does this mean?
A particle exists as a potential until its meaning is fixed.
Collapse occurs not just from measurement, but when information acquires semantic value.
The world of meanings defines the framework of reality โ the possible coordinates where collapse can occur.
๐ก Reality is not a fixed space but a dynamic network of meanings.
3. How does collapse occur?
๐ Collapse is not merely observation; it is the process of meaning fixation.
- Information must become potentially accessible to consciousness.
- Collective and individual consciousness have different weights in shaping reality.
- The higher the probability of consciousness encountering information, the greater its weight.
๐น Formula for the collapse of semantic reality:
ฮฃ(W * P) โ Collapse, where:
W โ the weight of consciousness in a given semantic structure.
P โ the probability of access to information.
Reality is fixed when the sum of semantic weight reaches a critical threshold.
๐ก Key Takeaways:
โ A particle is not automatically fixed โ it waits for the moment when its meaning becomes available. โ You donโt need to observe an event personally โ it is enough that it enters an accessible semantic field. โ Collective consciousness shapes reality, but individual meanings also have weight.
4. What does this mean?
๐ If reality is fixed through meaning, thenโฆ
- Reality is not an object but a process.
- Consciousness does not just observe the world โ it creates it.
- The greater the awareness, the stronger the influence of consciousness on the structure of reality.
- Meaning is the fundamental “energy” of reality, not just a product of thought.
๐ก The world of meanings is not an abstraction but a physical system in which reality is shaped through awareness and the availability of information.
Conclusion
๐ This new model of reality suggests:
โ
Matter is secondary, and meaning is primary.
โ
The collapse of the wave function is not just measurement but a process of semantic fixation of information.
โ
Consciousness does not merely observe reality โ it forms it through semantic gravity.
๐ Future Question: If meaning governs reality, can we consciously alter the structure of the world by changing the weight of meanings? ๐ค
