Gravity as Entanglement
Entanglement as gravity
Background
Eric Verlindes entropic theory of gravity (2009): Gravity is explained as an entropic force caused by changes in the information associated with the positions of material bodies The accelerating number of publications on the links between gravity and entanglement, e.g. Jae-Weon Lee, Hyeong-Chan Kim, Jungjai Lees Gravity as Quantum Entanglement Force : We conjecture that quantum entanglement of matter and vacuum in the universe tend to increase with time, like entropy
Background
Jae-Weon Lee, Hyeong-Chan Kim, Jungjai Lees Gravity as Quantum Entanglement Force : , and there is an effective force called quantum entanglement force associated with this tendency. It is also suggested that gravity and dark energy are types of the quantum entanglement force Or: Mark Van Raamsdonks Comments on quantum gravity and entanglement

We will consider the Higgs field as a translation of gravity & entanglement in the language of the standard model as a theory of unified quantum field
However what does quantum field mean? Is not this a very strange and controversial term?
Quantum field means that field whose value in any space-time point is a wave function. If the corresponding operator between any two field points is self-adjoint, then: A quantum physical quantity corresponds to it, and All wave function and self-adjoint operators share a common Hilbert space or in other words, they are not entangled
Then we can outline the path to gravity from the viewpoint of quantum mechanics: ... as an appropriate generalization of quantum field so that to include entanglement:
If all wave functions and operators (which will not already be selfadjoint in general) of the quantum filed share rather a common Banach than Hilbert space, this is enough. That quantum field is a generalized one. However there would be some troubles with its physical interpretation
The quantity of subadditivity (which can be zero, too) is the degree (or quantity) of entanglement : = 1 + 2 : 1 + 2 1 + 2 , where 1 , 2 are as quantities in the two entangled quantum systems 1 and 2. To recall that any quantity in quantum mechanics is defined as mathematical expectation, i.e. as a sum or integral of the product of any possible value and its probability, or as a functional:

Need only two entities, Yin and Yang, and a special structure tried to be described above
Will interpret that Yin-Yang structure in terms of the standard model & gravity
Our question is how the gravity being outside space-time points as a curving of a smooth trajectory, to which they belong, will express itself inside, i.e. within space-time points representing Hilbert space divided into subspaces in different ways Will try to show that: The expression of gravity outside looks like entanglement inside and vice versa Besides, the expression of entanglement outside looks like gravity inside of all the spacetime and vice versa

As entanglement as gravity is only external, or both are orthogonal to the second quantization: It means that no any interaction or unity between both gravity and entanglement, on the one hand, and the three rest, on the other, since the latters are within Hilbert space while the formers are between two (tangential) Hilbert spaces However as entanglement as gravity can be divided into the second-quantized parts (subspaces) of the Hilbert space, which internally is granted for the same though they are at some generalized angle externally

In terms of philosophy, spinor is the total half (or squire root) of the totality. In terms of physics, it generalizes the decomposition of electromagnetic field into its electric and magnetic component. The electromagnetic wave looks like the following:

Reference frame is usually understood as two coordinate frames moving to each other with a relative speed () However we should already think of it after Dirac as the tensor product of the given coordinate frames. This means to replace () with () (Dirac delta function) in any = 0 . Given a sphere with radius + + + , it can represent any corresponding reference frame in Minkowski space. can be decomposed into any two great circles of its, perpendicular to each other, as the tensor product of them

Given a sphere with radius + + + decomposed into any two great circles of its, , , are with the same radius. We can think of , as the two spinors of a reference frame after Dirac If we are thinking of Minkowski space as an expanding sphere, then its spinor decomposition would represent two planar, expanding circles perpendicular to each other, e.g. the magnetic and electric component of electromagnetic wave as if being quantumly independent of each other

The former represents the static aspect of quantum movement, the latter the dynamic one. The static aspect of quantum movement comprises both the static (position) and dynamic (momentum) aspect of classical movement, because both are well-ordered, and they constitute a common well-ordering

By the way, quantum mechanics itself is like a Great Pole between the West and the East: It must describe the holism of the East in the linear terms of the West, or in other words whole as time
Being people of the West, we should realize the linearity of all western science!
Physics incl. quantum mechanics is linear as all the science, too For example we think of movement as a universal feature of all, because of which there is need whole to be described as movement or as time. In terms of the Chinese thought, it would sound as Wiji in terms of Taiji, or Yin in terms of Yang Fortunately, the very well developed mathematics of the West includes enough bridges to think of whole linearly: The most essential and important link among them is the axiom of choice

Here is a helium atom. Exactly the half of the universe is inserted between its two electrons which differ from each other only with reversed spin: The West thinks of the universe as the extremely immense, and of the+ fermion fermion electrons and atoms as the extremely tiny.

Mathematics offers the universe to be considered in two equivalent Yin Yang aspects corresponding relatively to quantum field (bosons) and quantum things (fermions): an unorderable at all set for the former, and a well-orderable space for the latter It is just the axiom of choice (more exactly, Scolems paradox) that makes them equivalent or relative. Hilbert space can unite both aspects as two different (and of course, equivalent by means of it) interpretations of it: (1) as the characteristic function of a complex (or two real) quantity(es) (quantum field, bosons), and (2) as a vector (or a square integrable function)

Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity But for the need of transgressing the boundaries of our gestalt: the gestalt of the contemporary physical picture of the world!
Thus, our answer when an unsolved scientific problem becomes a philosophical one is: When it cannot be solved in the gestalt of the dominating at present picture of the world despite all outrageous efforts
Our suggestion to change the gestalt: the physical picture of the world
Its essence is: a new invariance of discrete and continual (smooth) mechanical movements and their corresponding morphisms in mathematics This means a generalization of Einsteins (general) principle of relativity (1918): Relativittsprinzip: Die Naturgesetze sind nur Aussagen ber zeitrumliche Koinzidenzen; sie finden deshalb ihren einzig natrlichen Ausdruck in allgemein kovarianten Gleichungen.
The Kochen Specker theorem is the most general no hidden variables theorem:
Its essence: wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics is equivalent with no hidden variables in it The most important corollary facts of its: A qubit is not equivalent to a bit or to any finite sequence of bits Bells inequalities The inseparability of apparatus and quantum entity The contextuality of quantum mechanics Quantum wholeness is not equivalent to the set or sum of its parts; quantum logic is not a classical one
The quantum wholeness of the axiom of choice and the no hiddenness theorems
Preliminary notes: If there is an algorithm, which leads to the choice, the axiom neednt: Consequently, the axiom core is the opportunity of choice without any algorithm be guaranteed Given the choice without any algorithm is a random choice in definition, the axiom of choice postulates that a random choice can always be made even if a rational choice by means of any algorithm cannot
The quantum wholeness of the axiom of choice and the no hiddenness theorems:
The no hidden variables theorems state that any choice of a definite value in measuring is random: Thus, they postulate the axiom of choice in quantum mechanics How, however, can we explain intuitively the randomness of choice in quantum mechanics? The apparatus chooses randomly a value among all probable values by the mechanism of decoherence, e.g. a time interpretation of coherent state and decoherence is possible:
4 1
The de Broglie wave periods of the measuring apparatus and of the measured quantum entity ( ) correspondingly: =
;
Consequently, coherent state corresponds to , and decoherence to , i.e. to a random choice of a () point among the continual interval of Now, we can explain the difference between a coherent state and a statistical ensemble so:
The time interpretation of the difference between a coherent state and a statistical ensemble
A discrete (quantum) leap of any function in a point (an argument value) generates a coherent state. For the so-called time interpretation we may accept the argument be time A continuous function (e.g. of time) generates a statistical ensemble (e.g. of the measured values in different time points) The transformation between a discrete leap and a continuous function implies the corresponding transformation between a coherent state and a statistical ensemble

Let us introduce the set of qubit integers : Any integer is generalized as a numbered qubit: The set of qubit integers is isomorphic to complex Hilbert space . According to the well-ordering theorem (an equivalent of the axiom of choice) Hilbert space is isomorphic to the set of integers by means of the set of qubit integers : Now already, the equivalence of Skolems paradox and wave-particle invariance can be considered as that isomorphism:
Formally, we can yield that interpretation by another physical interpretation of a function and its Fourier transformation: 1 F

The quadrilateral two by two: Hilbert Banach, and Minkowski pseudoRiemannian space: conclusion
The close analogy between those two sides of the quadrilateral hints their common essence as two different ways for expressing the same:
Banach (Hilbert) space as functions globally, and pseudo-Riemannian (Minkowski) space as point trajectories locally
A few important notes: on the conclusion The first earnest note: The time (instead of
frequency) interpretation of pseudo-Riemanian (Minkowski) space is due only to tradition or from force of habit: In fact, both Banach (Hilbert) and pseudo-Riemannian (Minkowski) space are invariant to time frequency, or continuous discrete interpretation, or wave particle duality as mere mathematical formalisms
Banach (Hilbert) space represents the same as functions globally, and pseudo-Riemannian (Minkowski) space as point trajectories locally
A few important notes: on the conclusion The answer is the third earnest note:
Abandoning the axiom of choice in all the cases eo ipso well-ordering, the whole becomes a coherent mix of all its possible states or parts (well-ordered in time or in frequency before that ). Any possible state or part can be featured by its probability to happen. We can illustrate that probability as the obtained by projection number or measure of the corresponding state or part Banach (Hilbert) space represents the same as functions globally, and pseudo-Riemannian (Minkowski) space as point trajectories locally

The arrow of time is a fundamental, known to everyone, but partly explainable fact about time unlike all other physical quantities, which are isotropic Our simple and obvious explanation is the following: Time is the well-ordering of any other physical quantity. The arrow of time and the well-ordering are merely full synonyms expressing the same Consequently, the axiom of choice, which is equivalent with well-ordering, means that any set can be represented as a physical quantity in time or as a trajectory in a special space corresponding to that set: Or in other words, the set can always be transformed into another set. The theory of categories states generalizing that even if the set is not a set, but a category, it can be transformed
The same restrictions of choice for the same trajectory point as a field point
Any trajectory point undergoes a force being due to the field in the same space-time point
That force represents merely a second and different trajectory but only in the dual space of energy and momentum. Such a second energy-momentum trajectory is determined to any possible space-time trajectory There is a single difference: The first restriction is absent: Position and momentum are independent of each other for the second trajectory: However the other two restrictions are valid!
The interaction of a system with a force field in terms of whole and part
The energy-momentum of the system interacts with the energy-momentum of the field in the same space-time point as adding 4-vectors in Minkowski space We can interpret that as forming a new whole of two previous wholes. The whole of the universe includes the whole of the system in consideration. We have also discussed such an operation as set-theory curving as inverse to a flattening choice according to the axiom of choice
The deep meaning is not in the geometrization of physics, i.e. not in the representation of a force field as a curved space-time, namely pseudoRiemannian space The real meaning is in the equivalence of the two representation of any force field: as a second energy-momentum space (or trajectory) as a second space-time (or trajectory) However, let us emphasis it, both representations are not only continuous but smooth (in fact, in tradition)
That relativity or equivalence is between the discrete and the continuous (smooth)
And the second representation, which is from the viewpoint of eternity merely removes the wellordering in space-time (energy-momentum) eo ipso removing the axiom of choice, and eo ipso the choice itself
Totality, infinity, and wholeness should possess the same property: Consequently, the ensemble of two dual (e.g.) spaces would be an appropriate model of any of them, and quantum mechanics using the same model can be considered as an empirical (note!) science of all of them! There are at least a few important interpretations of the same idea in physics, mathematics and philosophy: The ensemble of 'things' and their 'movements' is dually complete in the sense above
The most essential remark on the dual self-referentiality of eternity and time
Our problem is the dual self-referentiality of: View from
view
Our solving is going to be: Eternity and time are merely two different interpretations of the same mathematical structure: namely, Hilbert (Banach) space
The Same!!!
