In the summer of 2020, I launched a website called The Vessel Project. It’s a weird, winding, conjecturing exploration into the nature of reality. Some would call it crazy. I don’t necessarily disagree. But the story behind its inception is even weirder. What is now a pet theory, a glorified...
Crossposted from Vessel Project. My last article, “Life Through Quantum Annealing” was an exploration of how a broad range of physical phenomena — and possibly the whole universe — can be mapped to a quantum computing process. But the article simply accepts that quantum annealing behaves as it does; it...
Crossposted from Vessel Project. A couple of short video elements are embedded in the original article; in this post they are simply linked. Overview We explain how quantum annealing works and discuss how it could form our universe, drawing evidence from physics, cognition, and biology. We then use a thought...
