1. Motivation
?
?
  • My problem was
  • Given Two sequences
  • ? 1, 2, 3, 4, .a-3, a-2, a-1, a
  • ? a, a-1, a-2, a-3, , 4, 3, 2, 1
  • Where a is the power of countable set
  • The problem
  • Do the two sequences ? and ? coincide or not?

5
1. Motivation
?
?
  • At last, my resolution proved out
  • That the two sequences
  • ? 1, 2, 3, 4, .a-3, a-2, a-1, a
  • ? a, a-1, a-2, a-3, , 4, 3, 2, 1
  • coincide or not, is a new axiom (or two different
    versions of the choice axiom) the axiom of
    chance whether we can always repeat or not an
    infinite choice

6
1. Motivation
?
?
  • For example, let us be given two Hilbert spaces
  • ? eit, ei2t, ei3t, ei4t, ei(a-1)t, eiat
  • ? eiat , ei(a-1)t, ei4t, ei3t, ei2t, eit
  • An analogical problem is
  • Are those two Hilbert spaces the same or not?
  • ? can be got by Minkowski space ? after
    Legendre-like transformation

7
1. Motivation
?
?
  • So that, if
  • ? eit, ei2t, ei3t, ei4t, ei(a-1)t, eiat
  • ? eiat , ei(a-1)t, ei4t, ei3t, ei2t, eit
  • are the same, then Hilbert space
  • ? is equivalent of the set of all the continuous
    world lines in spacetime ?
  • (see also Penroses twistors)
  • That is the real problem, from which I had started

8
1. Motivation
?
?
  • About that real problem, from which I had
    started, my conclusion was
  • There are two different versions about the
    transition between the micro-object Hilbert space
    ? and the apparatus spacetime ? in dependence on
    accepting or rejecting of the chance axiom, but
    no way to be chosen between them

9
1. Motivation
?
?
  • After that, I noticed that the problem is very
    easily to be interpreted by transition within
    nonstandard universum between two nonstandard
    neighborhoods (ultrafilters) of two infinitely
    near standard points or between the standard
    subset and the properly nonstandard subset of
    nonstandard universum

10
1. Motivation
?
?
  • And as a result, I decided that only the
  • highly respected scientists from the honorable
    and reverend department Logic are that
    appropriate public worthy and deserving of being
    delivered
  • a report on that most intriguing and even maybe
    delicate topic exiting those minds which are
    more eminent

11
1. Motivation
?
?
  • After that, the very God was so benevolent so
    that He allowed me to recognize marvelous
    mathematical papers of a great Frenchman, Alain
    Connes, recently who has preferred in favor of
    sunny California to settle, and who, a long time
    ago, had introduced nonstandard infinitesimals by
    compact Hilbert operators

13
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • A few preliminary notes about how the knowledge
    of infinity is possible The short answer is as
    that of God in belief and by analogy.The way of
    mathematics to be achieved a little knowledge of
    infinity transits three stages 1. From finite
    perception to Axioms 2. Negation of some axioms.
  • 3. Mathematics beyond finiteness

14
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The way of mathematics to infinity
  • 1. From our finite experience and perception to
    Axioms The most famous example is the
    axiomatization of geometry accomplished by Euclid
    in his Elements

15
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The way of mathematics to infinity
  • 2. Negation of some axioms the most frequently
    cited instance is the fifth Euclid postulate and
    its replacing in Lobachevski geometry by one of
    its negations. Mathematics only starts from
    perception, but its cognition can go beyond it by
    analogy

16
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The way of mathematics to infinity
  • 3. Mathematics beyond finiteness We can
    postulate some properties of infinite sets by
    analogy of finite ones (e.g. number of elements
    and power) However such transfer may produce
    paradoxes see as example Cantor naive set
    theory

17
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • A few inferences about the math full-scale
    offensive amongst the infinity
  • 1. Analogy well-chosen appropriate properties of
    finite mathematical struc-tures are transferred
    into infinite ones
  • 2. Belief the transferred properties are
    postulated (as usual their negations can be
    postulated too)

18
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The most difficult problems of the math offensive
    among infinity
  • Which transfers are allowed by in-finity without
    producing paradoxes?
  • Which properties are suitable to be transferred
    into infinity?
  • How to dock infinities?

19
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The Axiom of Choice (a formulation)
  • If given a whatever set A consisting of sets, we
    always can choose an element from each set,
    thereby constituting a new set B (obviously of
    the same po-wer as A). So its sense is we always
    can transfer the property of choosing an element
    of finite set to infinite one

20
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Some other formulations or corollaries
  • Any set can be well ordered (any its subset has a
    least element)
  • Zorns lema
  • Ultrafilter lema
  • Banach-Tarski paradox
  • Noncloning theorem in quantum information

21
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Zorns lemma is equivalent to the axiom of
    choice. Call a set A a chain if for any two
    members B and C, either B is a sub-set of C or C
    is a subset of B. Now con-sider a set D with the
    properties that for every chain E that is a
    subset of D, the union of E is a member of D. The
    lem-ma states that D contains a member that is
    maximal, i.e. which is not a subset of any other
    set in D.

22
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Ultrafilter lemma A filter on a set X is a
    collection of nonempty subsets of X that is
    closed under finite intersection and under
    superset. An ultrafilter is a maximal filter. The
    ultrafilter lemma states that every filter on a
    set X is a subset of some ultrafilter on X (a
    maximal filter of nonempty subsets of X.)

23
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • BanachTarski paradox which says in effect that
    it is possible to carve up the 3-dimensional
    solid unit ball into finitely many pieces and,
    using only rotation and translation, reassemble
    the pieces into two balls each with the same
    volume as the original. The proof, like all
    proofs involving the axiom of choice, is an
    existence proof only.

24
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • First stated in 1924, the Banach-Tarski paradox
    states that it is possible to dissect a ball into
    six pieces which can be reassembled by rigid
    motions to form two balls of the same size as the
    original. The number of pieces was subsequently
    reduced to five by Robinson (1947), although the
    pieces are extremely complicated

25
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Five pieces are minimal, although four pieces are
    sufficient as long as the single point at the
    center is neglected. A generalization of this
    theorem is that any two bodies in that do not
    extend to infinity and each containing a ball of
    arbitrary size can be dissected into each other
    (i.e., they are equidecomposable)

26
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Banach-Tarski paradox is very important for
    quantum mechanics and information since any qubit
    is isomorphic to a 3D sphere. Thats why the
    paradox requires for arbitrary qubits (even
    entire Hilbert space) to be able to be built by a
    single qubit from its parts by translations and
    rotations iteratively repeating the procedure

27
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • So that the Banach-Tarski paradox implies the
    phenomenon of entanglement in quantum information
    as two qubits (or two spheres) from one can be
    considered as thoroughly entangled. Two partly
    entangled qubits could be reckoned as sharing
    some subset of an initial qubit (sphere) as if
    qubits (spheres) Siamese twins

28
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • But the Banach-Tarski paradox is a weaker
    statement than the axiom of choice. It is valid
    only about ? 3D sets. But I havent meet any
    other additional condition. Let us accept that
    the Banach-Tarski paradox is equivalent to the
    axiom of choice for ? 3D sets. But entanglement
    as well 3D space are physical facts, and then

29
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • But entanglement ( Banach-Tarski paradox) as
    well 3D space are physical facts, and then
    consequently, they are empirical confirmations in
    favor of the axiom of choice. This proves that
    the Banach-Tarski paradox is just the most
    decisive confirmation, and not at all, a
    refutation of the axiom of choice.

30
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Besides, the axiom of choice occurs in the proofs
    of the Hahn-Banach the-orem in functional
    analysis, the theo-rem that every vector space
    has a ba-sis, Tychonoff's theorem in topology
    stating that every product of compact spaces is
    compact, and the theorems in abstract algebra
    that every ring has a maximal ideal and that
    every field has an algebraic closure.

31
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The Continuum Hypothesis
  • The generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH) is not
    only independent of ZF, but also independent of
    ZF plus the axiom of choice (ZFC). However, ZF
    plus GCH implies AC, making GCH a strictly
    stronger claim than AC, even though they are both
    independent of ZF.

32
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The Continuum Hypothesis
  • The generalized continuum hypothesis (GCH) is
    2Na Na1 . Since it can be formulated without
    AC, entanglement as an argument in favor of AC is
    not expanded to GCH. We may assume the negation
    of GHC about cardinalities which are not alefs
    together with AC about cardinalities which are
    alefs

33
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negation of Continuum Hypothesis
  • The negation of GHC about cardinali-ties which
    are not alefs together with AC about
    cardinalities which are alefs
  • 1. There are sets which can not be well ordered.
    A physical interpretation of theirs is as
    physical objects out of (beyond) space-time. 2.
    Entanglement about all the space-time objects

34
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negation of Continuum Hypothesis
  • But the physical sense of 1. and 2.
  • 1. The non-well-orderable sets consist of
    well-ordered subsets (at least, their elements as
    sets) which are together in space-time. 2. Any
    well-ordered set (because of Banach-Tarski
    paradox) can be as a set of entangled objects in
    space-time

35
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negation of Continuum Hypothesis
  • So that the physical sense of 1. and 2. is
    ultimately The mapping between the set of
    space-time points and the set of physical
    entities is a many-many correspondence It can
    be equivalently replaced by usual mappings but
    however of a functional space, namely by Hilbert
    operators

36
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negation of Continuum Hypothesis
  • Since the physical quantities have interpreted by
    Hilbert operators in quantum mechanics and
    information (correspondingly, by Hermitian and
    non-Hermitian ones), then that fact is an
    empirical confirmation of the negation of
    continuum hypothesis

37
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negation of Continuum Hypothesis
  • But as well known, ZFGHC implies AC. Since we
    have already proved both NGHC and AC, the only
    possibility remains also the negation of ZF
    (NZF), namely the negation the axiom of
    foundation (AF) There is a special kind of sets,
    which will call insepa-rable sets and also
    dont fulfill AF

38
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • An important example of inseparable set When
    postulating that if a set A is given, then a set
    B always exists, such one that A is the set of
    all the subsets of B. An instance let A be a
    countable set, then B is an inseparable set,
    which we can call subcountable set. Its power z
    is bigger than any finite power, but less than
    that of a countable set.

39
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The axiom of foundation Every nonempty set is
    disjoint from one of its elements. It can also
    be stated as "A set contains no infinitely
    descending (membership) sequence," or "A set
    contains a (membership) minimal element," i.e.,
    there is an element of the set that shares no
    member with the set

40
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The axiom of foundation
  • Mendelson (1958) proved that the equivalence of
    these two statements necessarily relies on the
    axiom of choice. The dual expression is called
  • º-induction, and is equivalent to the axiom
    itself (Ito 1986)

41
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The axiom of foundation and its negation Since
    we have accepted both the axiom of choice and the
    negation of the axiom of foundation, then we are
    to confirm the negation of º-induction, namely
    There are sets containing infinitely descending
    (membership) sequence OR without a (membership)
    minimal element,"

42
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The axiom of foundation and its negation So that
    we have three kinds of inseparable set
    1.containing infinitely descending (membership)
    sequence 2. without a (membership) minimal
    element 3. Both 1. and 2.
  • The alleged axiom of chance concerns only 1.

43
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The alleged axiom of chance concerning only 1.
    claims that there are as inseparable sets
    containing infinitely descending (membership)
    sequence as such ones containing infinitely
    ascending (membership) sequence and different
    from the former ones

44
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The Law of the excluded middle
  • The assumption of the axiom of choice is also
    sufficient to derive the law of the excluded
    middle in some constructive systems (where the
    law is not assumed).

45
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • A few (maybe redundant) commentaries
  • We always can
  • 1. Choose an element among the elements of a set
    of an arbitrary power
  • 2. Choose a set among the sets, which are the
    elements of the set A without its repeating
    independently of the A power

46
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • A (maybe rather useful) commentary
  • We always can
  • 3a. Repeat the choice choosing the same element
    according to 1.
  • 3b. Repeat the choice choosing the same set
    according to 2.

Not (3a 3b) is the new axiom of chance
47
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The sense of the Axiom of Choice
  • Choice among infinite elements
  • Choice among infinite sets
  • Repetition of the already made choice among
    infinite elements
  • Repetition of the already made choice among
    infinite sets

48
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • The sense of the Axiom of Choice
  • If all the 1-4 are fulfilled
  • - choice is the same as among finite as among
    infinite elements or sets
  • - the notion of information being based on choice
    is the same as to finite as to infinite sets

49
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • At last, the award for your kind patience The
    linkages between my motivation and the choice
    axiom
  • When accepting its negation, we ought to
    recognize a special kind of choice and of
    information in relation of infinite entities
    quantum choice (measuring) and quantum
    information

50
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • So that the axiom of choice should be divided
    into two parts The first part concerning quantum
    choice claims that the choice between infinite
    elements or sets is always possible. The second
    part concerning quantum information claims that
    the made already choice between infinite elements
    or sets can be always repeated

51
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • My exposition is devoted to the nega-tion only of
    the second part of the choice axiom. But not
    more than a couple of words about the sense for
    the first part to be replaced or canceled When
    doing that, we accept a new kind of entities
    whole without parts in prin-ciple, or in other
    words, such kind of superposition which doesnt
    allow any decoherence

52
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • Negating the choice axiom second part is the
    suggested axiom of chance properly speaking.
    Its sense is quantum information exists, and it
    is different than classical one. The former
    differs from the latter in five basic properties
    as following copying, destroying,
    non-self-interacting, energetic medium, being in
    space-time Yes about classical and No about
    quantum information

53
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
are derived from
?
  • Classical Quantum
  • 1. Copying, Yes No
  • 2. Destroying, Yes No
  • 3. Non-self-interacting, Yes No
  • 4. Energetic medium, Yes No
  • 5. Being in space-time Yes No

All these properties
The axiom of chance
No
Yes
54
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • How does the 1. Copying (Yes/No) descend from
  • It is obviously Copying means that a set of
    choices is repeated, and
  • consequently, it has been able to be repeated

(No/Yes)?
The axiom of chance
55
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • If the case is 1. Copying No from
  • then that case is the non-cloning theorem in
    quantum information No qubit can be copied
    (Wootters, Zurek, 1982)

- Yes,
The axiom of chance
56
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • How does the 2. Destroying (Yes/No) descend
    from
  • Destroying is similar to copying
  • As if negative copying

(No/Yes)?
The axiom of chance
57
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • How does the 3. Non-self-interacting (Yes/No)
    descend from
  • Self-interacting means
  • non-repeating by itself

(No/Yes)?
The axiom of chance
58
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • How does the 4. Energetic medium (Yes/No)
    descend from
  • Energetic medium means for repeating to be turned
    into substance, or in other words, to be carried
    by medium obeyed energy conservation

(No/Yes)?
The axiom of chance
59
Infinity and the Axiom of Choice
?
  • How does the 5. Being in space-time (Yes/No)
    descend from
  • Being of a set in space-time means that the set
    is well-ordered which fol-lows from the axiom of
    choice. No axiom of chance means that the
    well-ordering in space-time is conserved

(No/Yes)?

It is shown in this book that Leibniz ideas can
be fully vindicated and that they lead to a novel
and fruitful approach to classical Analysis and
many other branches of mathematics (p. 2)
His Book (1966)
64
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • G.W.Leibniz argued that the theory of
    infinitesimals implies the introduction of ideal
    numbers which might be infinitely small or
    infinitely large compared with the real numbers
    but which were to possess the same properties as
    the latter. (p. 2)

65
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • The original approach of A. Robinson
  • 1. Construction of a nonstandard model of R (the
    real continuum) Nonstan-dard model (Skolem
    1934) Let A be the set of all the true
    statements about R, then ? A?(cgt0, cgt0,
    cgt0) Any finite subset of ? holds for R.
    After that, the finiteness principle (compactness
    theorem) is used

66
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • 2. The finiteness principle If any fi-nite
    subset of a (infinite) set ? posses-ses a model,
    then the set ? possesses a model too. The model
    of ? is not isomorphic to R A and it is a
    nonstandard universum over R A. Its sense is as
    follow there is a nonstandard neighborhood ?x
    about any standard point x of R.

67
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • The properties of nonstandard neighborhood ?x
    about any standard point x of R 1) The length
    of ?x in R or of any its measurable subset is 0.
    2) Any ?x in R is isomorphic to (R A) itself.
    Our main problem is about continuity and
    continuum of two neighborhoods ?x and ?y between
    two neighbor well ordered standard points x and y
    of R.

68
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Indeed, the word of G.W.Leibniz that the theory
    of infinitesimals implies the introduction of
    ideal numbers which might be infinitely small or
    infinitely large compared with the real numbers
    but which were to possess the same properties as
    the latter (Robinson, p. 2) are really
    accomplished by Robinsons nonstandard analysis.

69
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Another possible approach was developed by was
    developed in the mid-1970s by the mathematician
    Edward Nelson. Nelson introduced an entirely
    axiomatic formulation of non-standard analysis
    that he called Internal Set Theory or IST. IST is
    an extension of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory or it
    is a conservative extension of ZFC.

70
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • In IST alongside the basic binary membership
    relation ?, it introduces a new unary predicate
    standard which can be applied to elements of the
    mathematical universe together with three axioms
    for reasoning with this new predicate (again
    IST) the axioms of Idealization,
    Standardization, Transfer

71
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Idealization
  • For every classical relation R, and for
    arbit-rary values for all other free variables,
    we have that if for each standard, finite set F,
    there exists a g such that R(g, f ) holds for all
    f in F, then there is a particular G such that
    for any standard f we have R (G, f ), and
    conversely, if there exists G such that for any
    standard f, we have R(G, f ), then for each
    finite set F, there exists a g such that R(g, f )
    holds for all f in F.

72
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Standardisation
  • If A is a standard set and P any property,
    classical or otherwise, then there is a unique,
    standard subset B of A whose standard elements
    are precisely the standard elements of A
    satisfying P (but the behaviour of B's
    nonstandard elements is not prescribed).

73
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Transfer
  • If all the parameters
  • A, B, C, ..., W
  • of a classical formula F have standard values
    then
  • F( x, A, B,..., W )
  • holds for all x's as soon as it holds for all
    standard xs.

74
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • The sense of the unary predicate standard
  • If any formula holds for any finite standard
  • set of standard elements, it holds for all the
    universum. So that standard elements are only
    those which establish, set the standards, with
    which all the elements must be in conformity In
    other words, the standard elements, which are
    always as finite as finite number, establish, set
    the standards about infinity. Next,

  • So that the suggested by Nelson IST is a
    constructivist version of nonstandard analysis.
    If ZFC is consistent, then ZFC IST is
    consistent. In fact, a stronger statement can be
    made ZFC IST is a conservative extension of
    ZFC any classical formula (correct or
    incorrect!) that can be proven within internal
    set theory can be proven in the Zermelo-Fraenkel
    axioms with the Axiom of Choice alone.

  • The basic idea of both the version of nonstandard
    analysis (as Roninsons as Nelsons) is
    repetition of all the real continuum R at, or
    better, within any its point as nonstandard
    neighborhoods about any of them. The consistency
    of that repetition is achieved by the notion of
    internal set (i.e. as if within any standard
    element)

  • That collapse and repetition of all infinity into
    any its point is accomp-lished by the notion of
    ultrafilter in nonstandard analysis. Ultrafilter
    is way to be transferred and thereby repeated the
    topological properties of all the real continuum
    into any its point, and after that, all the
    properties of real conti-nuum to be recovered
    from the trans-ferred topological properties

  • What is ultrafilter?
  • Let S be a nonempty set, then an ultrafilter on S
    is a nonempty collection F of subsets of S having
    the following properties
  • 1. ? ? F.
  • 2. If A, B ? F, then A, B ? F .
  • 3. If A,B ? F and A?B?S, then A,B ? F
  • 4. For any subset A of S, either A ? F or its
    complement A S A ? F

  • Ultrafilter lemma A filter on a set X is a
    collection of nonempty subsets of X that is
    closed under finite intersection and under
    superset. An ultrafilter is a maximal filter. The
    ultrafilter lemma states that every filter on a
    set X is a subset of some ultrafilter on X (a
    ma-ximal filter of nonempty subsets of X.)

  • A philosophical reflection Let us remember the
    Banach-Tarski paradox entire Hilbert space can
    be delivered only by repetition ad infinitum of a
    single qubit (since it is isomorphic to 3D
    sphere)as well the paradox follows from the axiom
    of choice. However nonstandard analysis carries
    out the same idea as the Banach-Tarski paradox
    about 1D sphere, i.e. a point all the
    nonstandard universum can be recovered from a
    point, since the universum is within it

81
Nonstandard universum
d

  • The philosophical reflection continues Thats
    why nonstandard analysis is a good tool for
    quantum mechanics Nonstandard universum (NU)
    possesses as if fractal structure just as Hilbert
    space. It allows all quantum objects to be
    described as internal sets absolutely similar to
    macro-objects being described as external or
    standard sets. The best advantage is that NU can
    describe the transition between internal and
    external set, which is our main problem

  • Something still a little more If Hilbert spa-ce
    is isomorphic to a well ordered sequence of 3D
    spheres delivered by the axiom of choice via the
    Banach-Tarski paradox, then 1. It is at least
    comparable unless even iso-morphic to Minkowski
    space 2. It is getting generalized into
    nonstandard universum as to arbitrary number
    dimensions, and even as to fractional number
    dimensions as we will see. So that qubit is
    getting generalized into internal set with
    ultrafilter structure

  • And at last The generalized so Hilbert space as
    nonstandard universum is delivered again by the
    axiom of choice but this time via Zorns lemma
    (an equivalent to the axiom of choice) via
    ultrafilter lemma (a weaker statement than the
    axiom of choice). Nonstandard universum admits to
    be in its turn generalized as in the gauge
    theories, when internal and external set differ
    in structure, as in varying the nonstandard
    connection between two points as we will do

  • Thus we have already pioneered to Alain Connes
    introducing of infinitesimals as compact Hilbert
    operators unlike the rest Hilbert operators
    representing transfor-mations of standard sets.

  • Complex variable Hilbert operator
  • Real variable Self-adjoint operator
  • Infinitesimals Compact operator

  • The sense of compact operator if it is ap-plied
    to nonstandard universum, it trans-forms a
    nonstandard neighborhood into a nonstandard
    neighborhood, so that it keeps division between
    standard and nonstandard elements. If the
    nonstandard universum is built on Hilbert space
    instead of on real continuum, then Connes defined
    infinite-simals on the Cartesian product of
    Hilbert spaces. So that it requires the axiom of
    choice for the existence of Cartesian product

  • I would like to display that Connes
    infinitesimals possesses an exceptionally
    important property they are infinitesimals both
    in Hilbert and in Minkowski space so that they
    describe very well transformations of Minkowski
    space into Hilbert space and vice versa Math
    speaking, Minkowski operator is compact if and
    only if it is compact Hilbert operator. You might
    kindly remember that transformations between

    speak of the transition between the apparatus and
    the microobject and vice versa as well of the
    transition bet-ween the coherent and collapsed
    state of the wave function Y and its inverse

    a united, common language for us to be able to
    speak both of the apparatus and of the
    microobject as well, and the most impor-tant, of
    the transition and its converse bet-ween them.
    The creating of such a language requires a
    different set-theory foundation including 1. The
    axiom of choice. 2. The foundation axiom
    negation. 3. The generalized continuum hypothesis

  • Before a sketch of proof, its sense and
    motivation The axiom of foundation is available
    in quantum mechanics by the collapse of wave
    function. Let us represent the coherent state as
    infinity since, if the Hilbert space is
    separable, then any its point is a coherent
    superposition of a countable set of components.
    The collapse represents as if a descending
    avalanche from the infinity to some finite value
    observed with various probability.

  • Before a sketch of proof, its sense and
    motivation If thats the case, the axiom of
    foundation AF is available just as the
    requirement for the wave function to collapse
    from the infinity as an avalanche since AF
    forbids a smooth, continuous, infinite lowering,
    sinking. It would be an equivalent of the AF
    negation. A smooth, continuous, infinite process
    of lowering admits and even suggests the
    possibility of its reversibility

  • A note Let us accept now the AF negation, and
    consequently , a smooth reversibility between
    coherent and collapsed state. Then P Ps
    Pr, where Ps is the probability from the coherent
    superposition to a given value, and Pr is the
    probability of reversible process. So that the
    quantum mechanical probability attached to any
    observable state could be interpreted as a finite
    relation between two infinities

  • Intuitively, smooth infinitesimal analysis can
    be interpreted as describing a world in which
    lines are made out of infinitesimally small
    segments, not out of points. These seg-ments can
    be thought of as being long enough to have a
    definite direction, but not long enough to be
    curved. The construction of discontinuous
    functions fails because a function is identified
    with a curve, and the curve cannot be constructed
    pointwise (Wikipedia, Smooth )

  • We can imagine the intermediate value theorem's
    failure as resulting from the ability of an
    infinitesimal segment to straddle a line.
    Similarly, the Banach-Tarski paradox fails
    because a volume cannot be taken apart into
    points (Wikipedia, Smooth infinitesimal
    analysis) . Consequently, the axiom of choice
    fails too.

  • The infinitesimals x in smooth infinitesimal
    analysis are nilpotent (nilsquare) x20 doesnt
    mean and require that x is necessarily zero. The
    law of the excluded middle is denied the

    between zero and nonzero. If thats the case all
    the functions are continuous and differentiable
    infinitely.

  • The smooth infinitesimal analysis does not
    satisfy our requirements even only because of
    denying the axiom of choice or the Banach -
    Tarski paradox. But I think that another version
    of nilpotent infinitesimals is possible, when
    they are an orthogonal basis of Hilbert space and
    the latter is being transformed by compact
    operator. If thats the case, it is too similar
    to Alain Connes ones.

  • By introducing as zero divisors, the
    infinitesimals are interested because of
    possibility for the phase space sell to be zero

  • That special axiom set includes the axiom of

    negation of ZF, namely a negation of the axiom
    of foundation AF in ZF. If ZFGCH is the case,

  • Comparison between standard and nonstandard
    infinitesimals. Thestandard infinitesimals
    exist only in boundary transition. Their sense
    represents velocity for a point-focused sequence
    to converge to that point. That velocity is the
    ratio between the two neighbor intervals between
    three discrete successive points of the sequence
    in question

111
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • More about the sense of standard
    infinitesimals By virtue of the axiom of choice
    any set can be well ordered as a sequence and
    thereby the ratio between the two neighbor
    intervals between three discrete successive
    points of the sequence in question is to exist
    just as before in the proper case of series.
    However now, the neighbor points of an
    arbitrary set are not discrete and consequently
    the intervals between them are zero

112
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • Although the neighbor points of an arbit-rary
    set are not discrete, and consequently, the
    intervals between them are zero, we can recover
    as if intervals between the well-ordered as if
    discrete neighbor points by means of
    nonstandard infini-tesimals. The nonstandard
    infinitesimals are such intervals. The
    representation of velocity for a sequence to
    converge remains in force by the nonstandard
    infinitesimals

113
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • But the ratio of the neighbor intervals can be
    also considered as probability, thereby the
    velocity itself can be inter-preted as such
    probability as above. Two opposite senses of a
    similar inter-pretation are possible 1) about a
    point belonging to the sequence as much the
    velocity of convergence is higher as
  • the probability of a point of the series in
    question to be there is bigger

114
Nonstandard universum
d
d
  • 2) about a point not belonging to the sequence
    as much the velocity of convergence is higher as
    the probability of a point out of the series in
    question to be there is less i.e. the sequence
    thought as a process is steeper, and the process
    is more nonequilibrium, off-balance, dissipative
    while a balance, equilibrium, non-dissipative
    state is much more likely in time

  • The same about a cell of phase space
  • The same can be said of a cell of phase space as
    much a process is steeper, and the process is
    more nonequilibrium, off-balance, dissipative as
    the probability of a cell belonging to it is
    higher
  • while a balance, equilibrium, non-dissipative
    state out of that cell is much more likely in time

  • Our question is how the probability in quantum
    mechanics should be interpre-ted? A possible
    hypothesis is the pro-babilities of
    non-commutative, comple-mentary quantities are
    both the kinds correspondingly and
    interchangeably.
  • For example, the coordinate probability
    corresponds to state, and the momentum
    probability to process. But that is rather an
    analogy

  • The physical interpretation of the velo-city for
    a series to converge is just as velocity of some

  • But we need some interpretation of complex

    complex nonstandard neigh-borhoods. If we reject
    AF, then we can introduce the falling, descending

    purely, properly imaginary nonstandard
    neighborhoods The real components go up to
    infinity. The imaginary ones go down to finiteness

  • After that, all the complex probabilities are
    ushered in varying the ties, hyste-reses up
    or down between two well ordered neighbor
    standard points. Wave function being or not in
    separable Hilbert space (i.e. with countable or
    non-countable power of its components) is well
    interpreted as nonstandard straight line (or its
    rational subset). Operators transform such lines

  • One more interpretation of h as the square of
    the hysteresis between the up and the down
    neighborhood between two standard points. Unlike
    standard continuity a parametric set of

    parameter g Dp/Dx Dm/Dt

d
  • One more interpretation of h The sense of g is
    intuitively very clear As more points up and
    down are common as both the hysteresis
    branches are closer. So the standard continuity
    turns out an extreme peculiar case of
    nonstan-dard continuity, namely all the points
    up and down are common and both the
    hysteresis branches coincide The hysteresis is
    canceled
