#NowListening #NineInchNails – Complication
Are #quantum entities equivalent to the Kantian thing in itself?
Yes. When a particle exists in a state of superimposition – being inherently valueless and relational – it exists noumenally. When it collapses per the Copenhagen interpretation, and thus, attains a definite position or momentum depending on what is measured, it attains a definite absolute value, and therefore, it is phenomenal.

The Kantian act of synthesis performed by the transcendental subject – that which thinks - makes this transformation from existing in a superposition- that is, noumenally - to existing in space-time with a definite value – that is phenomenally, which then can be described “world-ed”, for example, by using the concepts and terminology of Newtonian mechanics.
2/4
Every act of synthesis performed by the transcendental subject in the Kantian sense brings structure where there is only confusion of structureS; it brings order to chaos, definiteness to indefiniteness, worlding the earth by actively choosing its concepts and concerns, activating one world from many worlds - creating not something from nothing, but SOMETHING from the pandemonium of many somethings - and as such as an activity on par with any god/dess.
3/4
Conclusion: The Transcendental Subject/Mind and its acts of synthesis – bringing order(s) to pandemonium(s) - reigns supreme as the hidden Mistress of our reality, and its finely-tuned laws, constants, and parameters of that synthesis form the Roman (roaming!) Empire(s) of our ever evolving, ever incomplete, ever “collapsing” Horizen-ed/Horus-lined Universe!
