Agent Choice via Quantum Flux in Living Systems

arXiv Quantum Archived Apr 09, 2026 ✓ Full text saved

arXiv:2604.06450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A basic model is provided that places active, intentional choices by biological organisms on a solid physical footing. The model is provisionally called "Agent Choice via Quantum Flux." It brings to bear specific physics on living systems in a way that allows for intentional choices not pre-determined by physical laws, but remaining consistent with those laws. It does so by exploring a possible many-to-one relation of quantum states to agent choice

    Quantum Physics [Submitted on 7 Apr 2026] Agent Choice via Quantum Flux in Living Systems R. E. Kastner A basic model is provided that places active, intentional choices by biological organisms on a solid physical footing. The model is provisionally called "Agent Choice via Quantum Flux." It brings to bear specific physics on living systems in a way that allows for intentional choices not pre-determined by physical laws, but remaining consistent with those laws. It does so by exploring a possible many-to-one relation of quantum states to agent choices, with a parallel to the relation of thermodynamic microstates to macrostates.
