Erwin Kreyszig: In classical mechanics, the state of a system is described by a set of numbers (ordered set = vector). In quantum mechanics state of a system is described by a function, ie a mapping from one set of numbers to another. All possible functions give us the set of permutations - information preserving functions. Kreyszig, p 572.

The stamp on a letter activates it just as ATP on a protein - or what in quantum mechanics?
Theology is about divine economy: how does God run his household?
Religion establishes the environment for human social (and therefore actual) survival. It is part of culture, which is part of nurture.

Things begin as fleeting glimpses which, by personal observation and modelling can be brought into understanding and recorded by such records as 'there is a particle within this forest a particle which we call "powerful owl" and our observations of this particle reveal the following features of its behaviour, eg eats x, lives in y, lays n eggs etc.'
Tensor: map complex space to scalar = function.
Information processing function. [function (many to one) - communication channel - expansion (one to many)]

Try physical culture: we take physics to be a description of the hard, fast, high energy density end of the Universe. This is the part of the world that cannot be changed. It corresponds to arithmetic, the most unassailable and universally applicable form, in a sense the operating system of the Universe.
PHYSICAL CULTURE
ARITHMETIC PEACE
Quantum mechanics, like classical mechanics, is reversible, so we restrict our mappings to complexity conserving mappings, ie PEER MAPPINGS.
Physical culture is based on the avoidance of error conditions such as one person (natural or legal) extracting a quantum of goods from another person without adequate compensation.
STRUCTURE = stationary state (fixed energy)
FUNCTION = moving state (changing energy)

Relativity of transfinity + Hilbert space unification of wave mechanics and matrix mechanics = creative paradigm.

Does the classical concept of trajectory have any meaning in quantum mechanics? The answer lies in our understanding of trajectory and quantum mechanics.
