From quantum foundations via natural language meaning to a theory of everything
It aims to unify diverse fields from quantum foundations to natural language meaning, but is highly speculative and lacks concrete results.
The paper proposes shifting from reductionism to 'togetherness' by applying quantum theory's system interactions to model word meaning interactions in natural language, arguing this provides a template for theories across scientific disciplines like social interaction and animal behavior.
In this paper we argue for a paradigmatic shift from `reductionism' to `togetherness'. In particular, we show how interaction between systems in quantum theory naturally carries over to modelling how word meanings interact in natural language. Since meaning in natural language, depending on the subject domain, encompasses discussions within any scientific discipline, we obtain a template for theories such as social interaction, animal behaviour, and many others.
