now that my cold medicine has worn off a bit 0 . if the flip from spin up to spin down is continuous. . can
the state of the electron along the way be represented by a number. are the states quantized or continuous.
ie integers or number linel . is it necessary for ordinary addition to first convert states to zeros and ones and
then perform a standard computation -addition. or can you perform an operation on the state itself and then
look for a readout of the number. lets assume in two space . I have a circle . its cirumference is pi. if i
want to measure it . i need to represent it in ordinary numbers .. but why should i , the thing i call
circumference is a state. on that circumference ie. a clocks.- i draw a unit of arbitrary size and call it "
ONE " measured by the degrees of rotation of my clock hand. two of the same rotations I call two units.
and it is printed out on my clock. no matter the diameter of the clock , it reads two units. . so the number
two is the class of all rotations of the same amount two times.. the number is only a representation . can i
make the leap to say there is a state of the electron that corresponds to the number 2 , for a specific observer.
. ? I loved the way you both weave history into the presentations.
