<\/p>I came across an interesting article<\/a> concerning the (quantum) problem at the core of modern Artificial Intelligence:\u00a0 Cause and Effect.\n

Quantum weirdness in \u2018chicken or egg\u2019 paradox<\/h2>\n

The \u201cchicken or egg\u201d paradox was first proposed by philosophers in Ancient Greece to describe the problem of determining cause-and-effect.<\/p>\n

Now, a team of physicists from The University of Queensland and the N\u00c9EL Institute has shown that, as far as quantum physics is concerned, the chicken and the egg can both come first.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I was reading through the article, I came across this paragraph:<\/p>\n

Dr Jacqui Romero from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems said that in quantum physics, cause-and-effect is not always as straightforward as one event causing another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe weirdness of quantum mechanics means that events can happen without a set order,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And herein lies the proverbial \u2018rub\u2019, as it were: binary systems don\u2019t really do \u201cweird,\u201d and most definitely require a set order.\u00a0 Even functional languages<\/a> such as JavaScript<\/a> are confined to this binary order of things.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the rockets go up, who cares where they come down. That\u2019s not my department, says Werner Von Braun.\u201d<\/i><\/h3>\n
