I ching and quantum mechanics

There is an uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, which means that in a quantum field, you can't know all the states of a particle, that is, the position and velocity of the particle can't be measured at the same time. The uncertainty principle is not an experimental summary or hypothesis, but is based on the calculation and derivation of rigorous mathematical equations. At this point, mathematical logic can do nothing to predict the future of a microscopic particle, and can only use probability distribution for macro statistics. In this sense, the state before the occurrence of particles is similar to the fate of individuals, which is in line with divination, rather than strictly following the law of causality. For example, as far as the overall probability is concerned, the higher the education, the harder the work, and the higher the income, but it is not easy to make such a judgment if it is specific to a person. This is divination.

The uncertainty of fate is the basis of divination. If every earthquake can be a ruler and every future can be judged according to logic and reason, then there is no need for divination. It is precisely because the future cannot be explored by rational logic that we perceive it by irrational logic, which is divination. Whether it's burning tortoise shells and ox bones, or divining with yarrow, or waving copper coins to draw tarot cards, it's all reasonable in the sense of divination.

Divination brings uncertainty about the future. Although it makes people in it uneasy, it is not a bad thing. Divination is like stormy waves, so that the deep pool of life will not become lifeless stagnant water. The life of losing divination and seeing the head at a glance is just like the pigs and sheep in the circle. Although there is a guarantee of a stable life, it is really meaningless. In the words of Mr. Mu Xin: "Modern houses, one for each family, can spend time safely and richly." A truly wonderful life requires more divination and less certainty.

Divination is man's prediction of the future. Based on my understanding of the Book of Changes, I divide the future to be measured into divination and non-divination. The future state can be judged by mathematical logic without divination. As for meeting unexpectedly, it is out of place, and the future result of things is not in line with the original logical judgment, but more like divination.

Non-divinatory future refers to the future that conforms to the realistic mathematical logic judgment. This future is linear, and the point of the future falls on the extension line of the present. In short, based on the present state, people can use mathematical logic to deduce the future, that is, the future that cannot be divined (judged by logic, without divination). Using the equation of mathematical logic and substituting it into the known state factors at present, we can make a definite answer to the future.

The future of non-divination conforms to the law of cause and effect, and what is planted today should be the result tomorrow; A pay, a harvest; Good comes from good results, evil comes from bad consequences, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded. In this linear universe, God firmly holds the balance of the world, and he is not happy. Because everything in the non-divination future is as certain as the solution of a linear equation, this linear universe is static and mechanical.

However, the real world is not like this, it is dynamic and organic. In the real world, future points are jumping and probabilistic, and do not necessarily fall on the current extension line, or we can only say that the probability of these future points falling near the current extension line will be greater, and quite a few points will be far away from this line. Therefore, based on the current state, people may not get a definite solution about the future position through mathematical logic, but only get a macroscopic statistical probability distribution. This uncertain future, I call it divining the future.

The future of divination is like a tortoise shell burned on a fire during divination, and the direction of its divination pattern is largely random. In the occupation of the kingdom of heaven, the Shang emperor was careless. Although he maintained a relatively balanced state on the whole and in a large time and space span, his fate was uncertain and sometimes even quite reversed for individuals. Good causes may not get good results, evil causes may not get retribution, good people do not live long, and disasters stay for thousands of years. The divination of the future brings the absurdity of fate.

Whether there is false divination in the Book of Changes can be used to explain the divination of fate. There is no false divination, the earthquake is dry, and the work is heaven, which is the so-called destiny; Chuyang, who was shaken dry, was a realistic action from the beginning. Therefore, an image of innocent divination is that it seems to measure the fate of the world by the action of earthquakes on the ground (the next one is the ground, the earthquake is enough, and the first one is the ground). And destiny is hard to know, so it is called innocence. Innocent people can't expect it, and those who can't predict the earthquake can still do it.

On the other hand, there is no false divination. Earthquake is the beginning of stem, and stem is the fruit of shock. The divination from the side is already there, and the one who went to divination is gone. Therefore, in the innocent divination, the earthquake is the present state, and the drought is the future situation. Just as not everyone (Zhen's eldest son) can be an emperor (Gan's emperor) in the future, not every earthquake can grow into a dry earthquake. As the saying goes, "Time waits for no man, but the big one may not be good".
