My dear, you had me at Blk Intellect + Quantum Physics. This is absolute fire. I just want to add that Ive held the notion that the imagination is a quantum possibility engine for years.
Woah! I didn't even think of it like that! In a way, it definitely makes sense. However, when I first began learning about quantum mechanics last month, I approached it from a deeply scientific perspective. However, viewing imagination as a quantum possibility is truly interesting. Something I wouldn't mind falling into a rabbit hole about at 2 am. You've given me a really great post idea when I resume Quantum Musings in December. And thanks for the sub and follow!
I promise I’m not mansplaining, my autism is taking over lol.
Here’s the stream of ideas that led me to this thought. Maybe it helps your research too.
I started by thinking about phase space in physics: a way of mapping all the possible states of a system, not just where it is right now. Then I looked at imagination and realized it plays a similar role in the psyche. It holds the entire set of potential stories, identities, and futures we could embody. When we imagine, we’re basically navigating coordinates in that space, testing “what if” scenarios without having to live them out.
So in short, imagination isn’t just daydreaming. It’s the field of potential states from which all becoming is drawn. And if that’s true, then our work as creators is really about learning to navigate that phase space with intention.
Now you're really given me a lot to work with, and I can't express how grateful I am that you explained it. I've not heard of phase space, but it is now something to research. The way you connected phase space and imagination is really powerful and intriguing. If possible, I'd love to learn more about what you've learned about this!
I will definitely be watching it and taking notes. I’d love to learn more about the concept. I will be coming back if I have any questions or if there is something I can’t understand. Thank you!

There is a video series on Youtube called imagining 10 dimensions, first time I had heard of the concept and it instantly resonated with me. https://youtu.be/gg85IH3vghA?si=TMtubb4UrCKpDTH7
I will definitely be watching it and taking notes. I’d love to learn more about the concept. I will be coming back if I have any questions or if there is something I can’t understand. Thank you!
Yes please please please. It’s so nice to meet a fellow STEM nerd 🫡
Im an open book!
