Time Loops

radical form of what is sometimes called the “social construction of reality” but penetrating to the very heart of matter, space, and time.

Meaning, while often confused with information, really refers to the value of a piece of information to some agent (conscious or not) who can use it to convey a message or otherwise effect some change.

tautologies are not the same thing as paradoxes.

Meaning is the value of information, in other words, and it is what we as humans constantly create and recreate as part of our social and cultural experience.50 Rather than hovering over and above us, animating us, or exerting its own transpersonal causal (or, in Jung’s paradoxical formulation, “acausal”) force, meaning is constantly fashioned and

The theory, briefly, is that precognition is not a matter of seeing or knowing objective events in some generalized future time but is the accessing of knowledge a person will acquire in his or her own future, often directly related to some rewarding or troubling learning experience ahead.

is not unthinkable that the brain may turn out to be something like a squishy, pinkish-gray tesseract—a roughly six-inch-in-diameter information tunnel through time,

Aharonov and his colleague Jeff Tollaksen write that time-symmetric reformulations of quantum mechanics change the meaning of uncertainty from ‘capriciousness’ to exactly what is needed in order that the future can be relevant to the present, without violating causality, thereby providing a new perspective on the question ‘Why does God play dice?’

Information from our future somehow appears able to exert an influence over our behavior, albeit usually in oblique, non-obvious ways. That it so often seems to operate outside of conscious awareness suggests that precognition may be a very primitive, basic guidance system, one that could be shared widely in the animal kingdom.

is a delayed-choice version of the double-slit experiment in which the experimenters seem able to dictate what happens it the past by erasing (versus not erasing) quantum information in the present.
