Apropos nothing... Everyone always talking about quantum computing and quantum information as the big second-generation* quantum-tech applications. (Someday I will get into what I think about quantum computing.) But there's a whole world of quantum sensing out there that's way more successful, starting with atomic clocks, which are already an established second-gen quantum technology.
Here's a recent result in quantum sensing:
* First-generation quantum tech is things that rely on the quantum nature of materials. The whole semi-conductor industry, and lasers, are the primary examples. Second-generation quantum tech is technology that relies on quantum control: the active building and control of quantum systems. By far the earliest example, and the most commercially advanced, is quantum clocks. But there are other types of quantum sensors on the market (mainly quantum magnetometers).
#quantum sensing#quantum technology#there are a couple secondary articles on this that are way flashier than this one that are much easier to stumble across#but they all link back to this and I assume this is the most accurate

idk how else to explain it to people but it should be pretty fucking obvious why it is absolutely ludicrous to allow the united states fucking government to set the criteria as to who is and is not recognized as native/indigenous/ndn when they spent literal centuries trying to undermine and erase the fact that we exist at all.
it's no coincidence that some of the criteria involved in becoming federally recognized as a tribe requires documentation that the government actively worked to suppress. that they require the tracing of continuous existence back to colonial contact should tell you why it's a bullshit metric. that the fact that you have to have heaps of money to get federal recognition is something that you should take a long, hard look at before calling members of over 400 non-recognized tribes 'pretendians'.
the use of blood quantum as a measurement alone makes their authority null and void.
indigeneity is not about blood quantum or government permission. it is about family, culture, and community. i for one would appreciate it if non-natives fucked all the way off on this topic, and if fellow ndns would stop the infighting over it long enough to realize that all we're doing is perpetuating colonizer violence and genocide by allowing non-natives to set the definition of who we are and what we get to call ourselves.
fuck you. stop doing the colonizer's job for them.
#my anishinaabe ass#salty ndn blogging#yes this is about that actor and you can kiss my entire ojibwe ass#this shit is exactly why i do not disclose my blood quantum to anyone#it's no one's fucking business#and an inaccurate measure besides#look it up and see#look at the way the rules are set up to deliberately make all of us less than we are#make it make sense or kiss my ass

theoretical entroponetics: the post
okay. LONG post incoming. i have summarized all available information on the pale, separated into confirmed objective truth & in-canon speculation that may or may not be true, and then appended my own very detailed theory on the pale! this post is meant as a resource; please feel free to add things of your own in replies/reblogs (please tag me if you do!) or point out any errors i may have made. you’re welcome to use any of my personal theory in your own work but please credit me if you do!! (and tag me in that/send it to me, i really want to see what you do with it!)
Here’s what we *know* about the pale, according to in-game and concept art:
It erases data, at least the kind stored on radiocomputer filament and magnetic tapes.
It has no dimensions of its own- pale latitude compressors serve to force dimensions on raw pale and allow navigation.
The pale is referred to in the context of entropy
It arrived with mankind, but not immediately- there are 8000 years of written history, but the pale was first recorded 6000 years ago, implying that pale either didn’t start forming immediately or that it was so insignificant/distant that it went unnoticed for 2000 years.
There exists a group of people who are actively trying to expedite entroponetic collapse; the ideology is called entropolism
To this point, pale isn’t immediately visible. Pale has molecular structure, but manifests as a waveform, and only becomes visible at a certain distance from the origin, once wave frequency is sufficiently high.
During pale exposure, people experience “sense objects”: visual or auditory hallucinations and/or vivid physical recollections of memories. These hallucinations may originate from their own consciousness or someone else’s. c
People require physical and mental examinations before interisolary travel and are allotted a certain number of days per year as their pale exposure threshold.
Overexposure results in a pale “addiction”- these individuals crave pale exposure, and it’s unclear if this addiction can ever be broken. It’s also unclear whether there is a point at which pale exposure becomes lethal, but given that it dissolves matter, we can be fairly certain that a given length of continuous exposure will kill.
Radio signals, cold plasma torches and anodic sound are all used to manage the pale to permit travel through it. Plasma torches destabilize the molecular structure of the pale to create gaps, anodic sound widens and maintains these gaps, and radio signals rationalize the pale into recognizable dimensions.
Radio signals are, in return, susceptible to corruption by the pale, resulting in entroponetic crosstalk, where signals from the past or the future are transmitted to the present. CCP is one such phenomenon and is directly related to the formation of new pale through magpie interpretation.
There is a dedicated Union for people who work in and with the pale (the Pale Workers Union). They have two slogans; “The light purifies; The sound absolves; The pale no more” and “Son et Fureur” (sound and fury)
Here’s what we may choose to believe about the pale, based on the thoughts and beliefs of in-game characters:
In conversation with Soona, the pale is described as a “curdling milk” phenomenon: “repulsive, but natural”
In this same conversation you can theorize that the churches were meant to contain the pale origins; out of the seven churches, six were destroyed during the suzerain or the revolution
The phasmid and whatever other lifeforms it’s communicated with believe that entroponetic collapse is comparable to an oxygen holocaust (i.e. the great oxygenation event), implying mass extinction due to a toxic overabundance of sapient thought
Harry refers to it once by saying “The wolf is at the door. It’s going to eat the sun.” so take that as you will
It’s likely that Tiago’s “Mother” is some manifestation from the pale, if you choose to believe that the 2mm hole is in fact a pale origin point (the concept art does confirm it’s a pale origin, but the game offers other explanations, so I won’t say it’s the only answer)
Inframaterialists believe that revolutionary action (NOT thought) may create a counter-force that will prevent the spread of pale; it’s unclear if any reversal is possible.
The world will be fully consumed by the pale in 27 years (I put it here because you may or may not believe that shivers and harry are reliably sourcing this information)
And now my personal speculation about the pale:
A quick and easy point: it’s confirmed that the pale has a measurable EMF “exhalation” frequency that varies with proximity. Strong enough EMF pulses can actually tamper with magnetic storage- radiocomputer filaments! Electronics! Fortress Accident data loss! This gives us a tangible explanation for why pale can delete data :)
This may also explain its ability to cause radio interference- radio frequencies are just a subset of EMF frequencies, so it’s possible that pale exhalation on *just the right frequency* is what’s responsible for the entroponetic crosstalk we get on radios sometimes
The pale canonically has an atomic structure, but it also has wave properties, so it’s possible that the pale has wave-particle duality on its subatomic level, like photons do
Based on this, entroponetics is likely a very similar field to quantum mechanics, which might be an interesting source of ideas for anyone (like me) who wants to explore pale-related possibilities
The pale could be a manifestation of raw patterns. That’s why math “forces dimensions” on it- it rationalizes or “tames” the patterns, which allows it to be manipulated to a certain degree.
There are several references to the pale that refer to mathematical concepts and patterns, saying that the world dissolves into “a tangle of azimuths and cosines” as it blends into the interisolary pale- more on this later
Steban comments that the pale is commonly theorized to be nostalgia or “historical inertia”, but it’s largely agreed that it’s “the past” in a broad sense. Thinking about the idiom that history repeats itself, it could be that history/the past is part of the pattern that comprises the pale, and that it’s also the type of pattern most readily perceived by people (people don’t viscerally *perceive* math, for example, but we experience memories)
To first define entropy: Chemically speaking, “the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. (per encyclopedia britannica).” Physically speaking, it’s a measure of randomness or disorder in a system. Less work/less order = more entropy; it’s a physicochemical “winding down” of a given system
It’s commonly thought that pale is the entropic force, but what if it’s the opposite? (Keep in mind the chemical definition: less ability to do work = more entropy) Consider: the pale as less entropic, a cleanup force, recycling the potential lost by death and destruction in the universe. This in part explains why a dead person’s memory is present in the pale- their potential has been recycled into the pale in the form of their memories (their life’s *pattern*)
Enthalpy is a related concept to entropy and is defined as the total energy contained within a system. Holding the system enthalpy constant- saying the universe will always have the same amount of total energy, no matter what, according to thermodynamics- results in an entropic tug-of-war between the pale and the world. The pale wins through sheer inertia (again, inertia is mentioned specifically in game)
Overall: think of the world as “cooling”, losing heat and energy through war and death and complacency. Think of the pale as steam and heat, melting down old materials to start it all over again. (Kim says, *through entroponetic interference*: “it’s been a long, cold winter.”)
Consider: the pale as a sinusoidal function, eternally repeating. The pale recycling the universe to start a new cycle, “spending” itself, resulting in pale not being present in the beginning. Then, as the new things begin to settle- with the advent of the human mind, specifically- the pale reforming, slowly reclaiming potential, eventually ending the cycle to start again.
In comes CCP and magpies. Consider: CCP as a backwards transmission from the next “cycle” (after all, pale has no sense of time). Magpies as *pattern-sensitive* people who are able to decode CCP into something useful called novelty. They reach into the potential of the next cycle to build the potential in their current one- this paradox could be what creates more pale, because (and this is where it gets weird, I apologize) doing this retroactively increases the total amount of energy/work/potential in the current cycle to have been reclaimed by the pale for the next one.
Think of the pale as the compost bin for every single thought in the universe. The pale is the exact right size to compost every little atom and thought in the universe, and can hold nothing extra. But magpies reach into the future, the next cycle, and bring in extra. This paradox forces the pale to grow to accommodate the additional material, which also increases the starting potential of the next cycle. This process allows each cycle to accumulate minor changes from the previous one, which can snowball over many cycles.
Furthermore, to the inframaterialists’ point: revolutionary action would be such a radical shift in inertia that it would increase the potential in the world, forcing the pale to pause/shrink to “balance the equation” in terms of pale-vs-world thermodynamics. So maybe they’re right after all :)
And some diagramming, to explain the utter bullshit I’ve just dropped:
#disco elysium#entroponetics#the pale#disco elysium pale#the pale disco elysium#sorry idk the tags for this#theoretical entroponetics#this is all based on legitimate quantum physics and stuff so you could definitely go crazy with these concepts#if anything doesn't make sense please tell me!! i don't know how well i explained it#i'll be happy to rework things if i need to#anyway yeah so im deeply in love with the pale. im basically a real life entroponeticist now#also i didnt include in-game screenshot proof for brevitys sake#but feel free to add them or ask me for some and i can put it up! here or in asks#kiwipost#gen meta

i feel like sometimes we try to justify our reasons for shifting. like “i shift for adventures” “i shift for a specific person” “i shift to escape this reality” etc. if you want to shift that’s good enough reason honestly. even then you don’t need a specific reason.
just a thought idk go shift besties!
#does this even make sense idk#there’s nothing wrong with a reason but you just don’t need one if that makes sense#like i shift to go on adventures and to be with people i love#just a thought#mae talks shifting#maes thoughts#reality shifting#shifting#quantum jumping#shiftblr#scripting#shifting community#desired reality#shifting realities

just saw sb saying that by manifesting an SP you’re taking away their freewill…
tell me you don’t understand the law without telling me you don’t understand the law?!
manifesting an SP — whether that’s a friend, spouse or anything like that is not manipulating them… how are you manipulating anyone by changing your thoughts??? the answer is… you’re not.
by manifesting an SP you select a certain version of that person, like selecting a version of them that is in love with you.
i personally believe in the multiverse, so i believe manifesting can be done and often is by shifting, example - appearance changes.
^ but so can SP manifestation or revision or anything like that.
so you shift to a reality or select a reality where your SP is in love with you or your best friend or is the kindest person ever to you, whatever you want.
you are not taking their freewill away.
you are not manipulating them.
they are what you assume they are.
people reflect your assumptions!!!
so it’s like a blank canvas until you assume them to be one way or another.
you manifest your whole life on an autopilot, unfavourable and favourable shit, mostly never intentionally, the only difference is with SP you focus on what you want to experience instead of letting it be one way on autopilot.

So my name is raven, right. Here and in my MCU Dr. But DC universe doesn't exist over there, so my vigilante self is called Starfire and there is no one else, fictional or otherwise, called that.
So I find it so funny when I tell people my name's raven and people say to me here " what about Starfire" or something referencing her because everytime I'm like "🧍♀️don't say it don't say it don't say it" I'm her too

I am watching a friend playing Outer Wilds and he is almost not so far to find the dlc...and I realize what if Gabbro arrived at the good moment to see the Stranger? Could they have the curiosity to go there? If they did it...how their journey could be? I feel the urge to think about that possibility or write a fic about that what if.
#outer wilds#scarlet babbling#fantasia babbling#games#outer wilds spoilers#echoes of the eye spoilers#I wonder if Gabbro could be enough curious to go there when they saw the Stranger on the Sun#I wonder#In a way I think they could because they would think it is quantum or maybe that it might be a danger for Hearth#and I suppose they are quite lazy but they can sense it is enough unexpected to search informations to share to Hornfels later#because if they saw the Stranger it proves Hornfels were right

I feel like the fabric of spacetime makes more sense if it were actually the ocean of spacetime but aparently space has very little particles from a relative standpoint. dumb. those are dark particles and they're my friend
#ug i know scientists proved it but it just doesnt make sense that photons can move through space if theyre actually massless. but theyre#not massless theyre just so so tiny we cant record it but DOES THAT NOT COUNT? idk whatever ill become a quantum physicist or something#like if everything is relative does that not mean that enough photons moving in one direction can exert force upon an object#like 8 tons of feathers is still 8tons#like what if space is actually still filled with photons but we simply cant see them because theyre not reflected off of anything#ug i should take proper physics classes

nuclear fusion can also be a metaphor for “star-crossed” lovers. if you think about it.
two protons, repelled by each other’s electrical barriers, can only ever touch under conditions of extreme heat (I’m talking 15 million degrees Celsius i.e. inside the Sun’s core) which cause them to accelerate to speeds enormous enough to overcome that repelling force which grows exponentially as the distance between the protons decreases, and only then, if they manage to get close enough, will quantum mechanics kick in and allow the protons to tunnel through each other’s repulsive electrical barriers as if by magic, and finally unite.
#and don’t even get me started on the proton-proton chain and the energy they release being the source of a star’s (and our own suns’s light#and by extension a pillar of our entire existence#we are feeling very nerdy on this fine autumn morning#don’t mind me romanticizing particle physics#is this what they meant when they said romanticize the mundane#it’s mundane in the sense that it happens all the time but not in the sense that it isn’t incredibly fascinating#ro speaks#nuclear fusion#star crossed lovers#quantum mechanics

8.2.7 Strategic Surprise: Remote Sensing
8.2.7 Strategic Surprise: Remote Sensing
Quantum sensing will enable improvements in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, positioning, navigation, and timing, and these improvements will have both strategic and tactical value. Consider gravity. Using interferometry, we have created extraordinarily sensitive gravity wave detectors that ring when black holes collide. But much similar technology has been deployed into earth orbit to detect the location and movement of large masses on the Earth. (See p. 67 for details.) The small number of countries with space and quantum technology programs might be able to develop sensing platforms that combine gravity and electromagnetic sensing to detect not only other nations’ underground natural resources, but also matériel. Quantum detection power exceeds classical abilities, because camouflage (tin-roofed airline hangars, concrete domes, or inflatable structures) and tactics such as operating at night can obscure heavy matériel from classical satellite observation, but camouflaged matériel will have signatures detectable using other sensing technologies.

Night Springs dlc spoilers
I don’t think he’s actually that villainous as he was in Time Breaker, since Alan is writing this and he’s hosting, but Mr Door could be the most evil character ever and I could never hate him. he’s too funny and charming
#night springs spoilers#night springs dlc#alan wake 2 spoilers#warlin door#his ‘also I was lying haha’ when he confronted the Actor in that pixel game LMAOO#I REALLY need to finish Quantum Break#also if Dylan and Jesse ARE multiverse interactions (?? if I’m reading the whiteboard right)#then it does make a little more sense to why Door spoke to Dylan and denied him trying to spread the Hiss#(on top of him also being a parautilitarian)#idk how much I understand or trust about all the multiverse stuff#bc Dylan and Jesse being One. and everything with Scratch Alan Zane. is confusing#how does that Work#*iterations NOT interactions

i can't remember where i saw it but some advice i saw was taking your stuffed animals (or a pet) and placing them in front of you and just talking about shifting. you can talk about possible fears (or find fears you maybe didn't know about or conflicting thoughts) you have without overthinking and allowing yourself to just talk through it without worrying about others judging or typing it all out. something i wanted to try out but i thought i'd share it too :)
#also to be clear i don't think fears hold you back or anything but i think talking yourself through it puts you more at ease#which i think would probably help with just relaxing and letting go easier#if anyone knows the original creator please lmk#its been weeks since i saw the original video or post so#if this doesn't make sense i can try to verbalize it better#mae talks shifting#reality shifting#shifting#quantum jumping#shiftblr#scripting#shifting community#desired reality#shifting realities
