“Quantum metamorphosis is the process of transformation of nothingness into consciousness, time, space, energy and matter. It is the process of forming the quanta - the matter fields, whose quanta are fermions and the force fields whose quanta are bosons .”

“In Hilbert space, the classical states are just in one corner of the room, quantum attention functions are in the middle, and they are the matrix of cosmic functions that can collapse any other quantum wave function and transform the non-classical states into classical states in the Hilbert space.”

“The quantum attention function can reduce a wave instantaneously to a tiny local region. The wave function evolves naturally, without an observer, from a mix of states into a single, well-defined state. To measure we introduced a matrix of extra non-linear mathematical components known as attention function, which rapidly promotes one state at the expense of others, in a stochastic way.”

“This “who’s on top” banter continues until one wrestler (who has slyly gone to hide behind a chair) leaps upon his rival with an animal cry.
