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?
🔹 In quantum mechanics, reality is fixed only at the moment of measurement. 🔹 If the measurement is canceled or the data is erased, the particle remains in an indeterminate state. 🔹 This contradicts the notion of the world as an independent physical system.
💡 If reality is objective, why does it depend on observation?
Materialism fails to explain:
✅ Why erasing information “undoes” collapse. ✅ Why reality is only fixed when information becomes available. ✅ How meaning influences the physical existence of matter.
2. The World of Meanings: A New Paradigm of Reality
🔹 Classical physics asserts that matter is primary. 🔹 We propose: meaning is primary, and matter is its manifestation. 🔹 Reality is fixed when information becomes meaningful and accessible to consciousness.
📌 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 – the possible coordinates where collapse can occur.
💡 Reality is not a fixed space but a dynamic network of meanings.
3. How does collapse occur?
📌 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.
🔹 Formula for the collapse of semantic reality:
Σ(W * P) → Collapse, where:
W – the weight of consciousness in a given semantic structure.
P – the probability of access to information.
Reality is fixed when the sum of semantic weight reaches a critical threshold.
💡 Key Takeaways:
✅ A particle is not automatically fixed – it waits for the moment when its meaning becomes available. ✅ You don’t need to observe an event personally – it is enough that it enters an accessible semantic field. ✅ Collective consciousness shapes reality, but individual meanings also have weight.
4. What does this mean?
📌 If reality is fixed through meaning, then…
- Reality is not an object but a process.
- Consciousness does not just observe the world – 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.
💡 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
🚀 This new model of reality suggests:
✅ Matter is secondary, and meaning is primary.
✅ The collapse of the wave function is not just measurement but a process of semantic fixation of information.
✅ Consciousness does not merely observe reality – it forms it through semantic gravity.
📌 Future Question: If meaning governs reality, can we consciously alter the structure of the world by changing the weight of meanings? 🤔
