Emergent metric of space

Postby Ben6993 » Fri May 22, 2015 4:27 pm

Here's what I wrote in s.p.f in July 2011:
"A very freaky completely different idea .... two entangled binary
spins of electron with random total spin, but perfectly correlated
within the pair, seems a little like looking at the raw data for a
rasch analysis. The raw data are binary and the anaylsis is by pair
of electrons. The oscillating spins u&down and then down&up provide
uncertainty and keep them in the same locality. Surely the binary
spin data can't be the raw decisions which determine the emergent
space of the location parameters..."

I had the crazy idea that entangled fermion pairs were being used as input data for producing the space metric because it seemed uncannily like the way data is inputted into the Rasch (comparative pairs) Model computer program which generates metrics. The photons might act as judges in this method. I am trying to work out if it still seems a crazy idea while (now in 2015) disbelieving the spookiness of entanglement.

I have recently been watching a video of a Susskind lecture where he says that there is a fairly recent (within the last ten years) idea for entanglement to be implicated in proximity measures. In the Rasch Model you do need randomness to make a metric, that is, the judges have to be able to disagree over some outcomes else the metric degenerates.
