Join Us in Keeping the Universe Clean (and simple)

WHERE it ENDED

One (1) represents the totality of existence, the static, unchanging state of the entire multiverse. It's a symbolic representation of the single, unified quantum state (|Ψ> in previous iterations) in the Hilbert space (H_M). It encompasses all possibilities, all 'universes,' all entanglement patterns. It is not a number; it's a symbol of ultimate unity.

: is best read as 'is characterized by, or a description. It is not an equals sign, and not a function. The One is being described by what follows.

∂S/∂qᵢ represents the entropic forces that drive local changes within subsystems of the multiverse (like our universe).

S represents the local entanglement entropy within a subsystem. It's a measure of the complexity of the entanglement pattern in that region. Note: this is not the entropy of the entire multiverse (which is undefined in the static model).

qᵢ are abstract 'generalized coordinates' that parameterize the different possible ways the local entanglement pattern can change. They are not spatial coordinates; they represent different 'modes' of entanglement variation. There could be a finite or infinite number of these.

∂S/∂qᵢ is the partial derivative of the local entropy (S) with respect to one of these generalized coordinates (qᵢ). It represents the rate of change of entropy if you were to alter the entanglement pattern in the direction of that particular qᵢ. This is the entropic force associated with that particular mode of entanglement change.

→ max represents the fundamental principle of local entropy maximization. It signifies that the local entanglement configuration within any subsystem tends to change in a way that maximizes the local entanglement entropy (S). This tendency is the source of all observed forces and dynamics within our universe.

The One (the totality of all existence) is characterized by the tendency, within any local subsystem, for the entanglement configuration to change in a way that maximizes the local entanglement entropy (S) as expressed by the entropic forces (∂S/∂qᵢ).

Static Multiverse, Local Dynamics: The 'One' is static and unchanging. The 'dynamics' (→ max) only apply to local subsystems within the multiverse. Our universe is one such subsystem.

Emergent Everything: Spacetime, forces, particles, and time are all emergent properties of the local entanglement pattern and its changes.

No Time Variable: There's no explicit time variable in the equation. Time is an emergent concept related to the increase in local entropy.

Symbolic, Not Computational: This is a symbolic equation, representing a fundamental principle. We don't have explicit mathematical definitions for S or the qᵢ, so we can't calculate anything with this equation. It's a conceptual statement, not a formula we can solve.

Philosophical: This is physics as philosophy. In essence, the equation is a concise, symbolic way of saying that the entire multiverse is a single, unified entity (One), and that all the apparent dynamism and complexity we observe within our universe arise from the inherent tendency of local regions within this entity to maximize their entanglement entropy. It's a radically minimalist and information-theoretic view of reality, where everything emerges from the structure and flow of quantum information (entanglement). The equation encapsulates the core idea, not a workable mathematical framework (says Debbie Downer Gemini).
