wavefunction

Because of the constant electon/postitron splitting and pairing, the wavefunction is very, very chaotic appearing.

Dawkins and ID

He also generalized that the quantum wavefunction is not algorithmic.

Damn Duck

Because of the constant electon/postitron splitting and pairing, the wavefunction is very, very chaotic appearing.

Dawkins and ID

In the first slide of that lecture he points out that a wavefunction is not a physical observable (because otherwise the collapse of a wavefunction in an experiment would imply superliminal propagation of a physical object).

Are Changes Brewing and How Does the Mind Fit In?

Most physicists particularly experimentalists are content to use the idea of wavefunction collapse as a calculational shortcut and go about the business of predicting and measuring the physical world, for which regular quantum theory works astound-ingly well.

How to Teach Physics to Your Dog

But according to quantum mechanics, the true state of the food could be a combination, known as a wavefunction, which takes the form (food) = a (salad) + b (steak), where a and b are some numerical coefficients.

To understand the term "wavefunction", please look at this Mandelbrot Set.

Cleaning Up The Mess

In quantum physics the atoms in a gas are described by a wavefunction which is a function of all the coordinates of the atoms, but which only specifies the probability of finding a particle in a given region at a given time.

Actually, that seems to be the point: if there’s a puppy, the wavefunction gets remixed whether or not the puppy makes a ruckus, whereas the wavefunction is the same if there is no puppy.
