Entelechy, Gyroscopes, and QBism: developing a Quantum Metaphor for the vital force

Background Entelechy (e.g., Hahnemann’s Vital Force, Vf), bears striking similarities to certain properties of quantum systems. Thus, the Vf is only indirectly observable via (centrifugally) expressed symptoms: a property its experimental effects. Consequently, quantised ‘gyroscopic’ metaphor proposed where ‘axial’ rotation (represented by wavefunction) undergoes dis-ease-induced retardation leading ‘precession’, i.e., symptom expression. Remedy-induced acceleration axial results in cure, centrifugal removal dis-ease, so precession/symptom expression ceases. The ‘gyroscope’ considered partly because patients are observed during ‘discreet’ appointments, not continuously. Objective To develop this further generating wavefunctions represent various states dis-ease and health. Method Three generated from secondary symptoms exhibited patient’s Vf, as practitioner. more wave functions analogous (unobserved) hypothetical states, representing evolving health into precursor dis-eased state. Results discussion evolution therapeutic/dis-ease processes imagined transformations between these wavefunctions, visualised patient on six nine points an enneagram. remaining three practitioner ‘entangled’ with processes. may be divided two groups - one symptoms, other separated notional therapeutic ‘event horizon’. practitioner, Janus-like, manages process ‘negotiating’ groups. Conclusion An interpretation theory called QBism (i.e., Quantum Bayesianism, which wavefunction represents total subjective information available assigning agent, shared separate objective reality), suggests could Chalmers-like non-reductive starting for considering influence consciousness process.
