Intro – Entry into the Theory of Quantum Monads

This introduction provides an initial orientation. It shows how philosophy, sociology, physics, metaphysics, mathematics, and computer science are connected within this model. The page explains the core idea in plain language, addressing three audiences: beginners, advanced readers, and experts without mathematics.

In short: we model monads as information- and energy-bearing units that relate to one another through couplings within a shared space (Hilbert space). From these couplings arise resonance, coherence, and ultimately orders (emergence) – in physical, social, and technical systems.

Readers who wish to go deeper will find the four building blocks further below: XQM (roof theory), VQM (coupling), IEQ (measurement), XDM (ethics).

Basic assumption: the field axiom

We posit the existence of a cosmic quantum monads field as an axiom: monads are information- and energy-bearing units whose couplings and entanglements become effective within a shared field. This assumption is not directly provable – it is the working foundation of the theory, comparable to the postulation of Hilbert space in quantum mechanics.

Why an axiom?

  • Ontological: A shared frame in which biological, social, and technical carriers coexist – beyond subject-centered models.
  • Methodological: States, operators, open dynamics, and functionals become well-defined and computable.
  • Heuristic: The axiom generates testable hypotheses about coherence, resonance, and their design.

Plausibility instead of proof

  • Indirect evidence: Patterns such as synchronization, de-escalation, or robustness can be modeled as field effects – alongside classical interpretations (network theory / statistical physics).
  • Simulation: IEQ experiments test whether coherence-promoting couplings systematically yield higher resonance scores.
  • (Soft) falsifiability: If the theory consistently performs worse than competing models, the axiom loses its usefulness.

Points of connection: XQM (formal basis), VQM (relation / topology), IEQ (measurement / simulation), XDM (ethics as field effect).

For beginners

Imagine that every “something” – humans, animals, plants, AI systems – carries a small inner structure of information and energy. These “monads” can couple, resonate, or pass each other by. Where resonance succeeds, order and meaning arise; where it fails, structures fragment.

The Theory of Quantum Monads does not focus on isolated actors, but on the field of their relations. Good decisions foster coherence; bad ones promote disintegration. This logic applies universally – to biological, social, and technical systems alike.

For advanced readers

We distinguish between “carriers” (transient) and “monads” (effective through coupling patterns). What matters is not the ontological status of a carrier, but its contribution to coherence within the field. Couplings shape resonances; resonances shape orders – this is our operational view of emergence.

For experts (without mathematics)

XQM is an operator-based field theory of coupling: states evolve under coupling and environmental influence (open dynamics). Coherence and resonance functionals provide well-defined target quantities.

POVM – measurement acts in social systems

In Quantum Monads Theory, “measurements” are not limited to laboratory acts. They include communicative and decisional acts: statements, votes, posts, decisions. Such acts do not merely observe states – they condition them.

We therefore use the formal analogy of POVM, which generalises sharp projections to fuzzy, context-dependent, multi-stage observations.

A decision thus produces a new conditioned field state – not as mysticism, but as a modelled restriction of connectivity. This links VQM, IEQ and XDM.
