Does some of the nature of Quantum world come from how mind relates to the world?
So flick a coin 3 times gives 8 possibilities. But mind can then search for things to combine these:
e.g. lets classify flicks with 2 heads => there are 3
With quantum Schrodinger's cat it's dead/alive only cos we are looking for the cat state. But why not look for the probability that its eyes are blue? There are infinite things in that box the mind can search for and infinite waves to collpase.
So do ideas interact with the quantum world to set up what we are looking for, and then what outcomes can get observed and recorded. The mind sets up the wave function that it then collapses as an event is recorded. Can the cat state wave function be collapsed by someone opening the box to see the colour of its inside? Afterwards they are asked whether the cat was alive or dead and they didn't notice, they can only report that the box was painted white on the inside. IS the cat alive or dead now?
Collapse is when we complete an idea (cat dead, alive), but is it anything to do with the field of possibilities... e.g. cat has blue eyes, rat in cage also dead, box was painted white inside?
With music with 8 beats to bar and 7 notes (ignoring octaves so just the relative freq) then 7^8 possible tunes per bar. But only some are an "idea". What does the mind do to make notes into a tune, while other notes are nothing.
So how many musical "ideas" is the question.
