─. Abstract:

The quantum, strangest featrue of this strange universe cracks the armor that conceals the secret of existence. In contrast to the view that the universe is a machine governed by some magic equation, we explore here the view that the world is a self-synthesizing system of existence, built on observer-participancy via a network of elementary quantum phenomena. The elementary quantum phenomenon in the sense of Bohr, the elementary act of observer-participancy, develops definiteness out of indeterminism, secures a communicable reply in response to a well-defined question. The rate of carrying out such yes-no determinations, and their accumulated number, are both minuscule today when compared to the rate and number to be anticipated in the billions of years yet to come. The coming explosion of life opens the door, no minor part of what we call ^its^ past─^our^ past, present, and future─but this whole vast world.

1. The World: A Great Machine Or A Great Idea?

2. No Continuum

3. The Lesson of the Elementary Quantum Phenomenon

4. Austerity

5. Timelessness

6. The World of Existences as a System Self-Synthesized by Quantum Networking

No time, no law, no machinery and no continuum: Four clues ....

We see how powerful our four clues are when we compare and contrast the schematic diagram of Figure 1 for the world as a system self-synthesized by quantum networking with two other self-synthesizing systems, the mordern worldwide telecommunications system and life.
