3 The Fractal Choreography of Light in Quantum Experiments

Here’s Rheo and Topo diving into the fractal choreography of light within quantum experiments:


RHEO:
Let’s consider a classic double-slit experiment. How does light’s fractal instantiation illuminate what happens when photons seemingly choose a path, or don’t?

TOPO:
Each photon is not just a particle or wave travelling through space, but a fractal event unfolding across scales of potentiality and instance. When it encounters the slits, the fractal pattern of possibilities branches and folds—creating interference.

But crucially, the fractal nature means the “choice” isn’t a simple binary but a complex enfolding of nested potentials, instantiated differently depending on how and whether the event is constrained by measurement or observation.

RHEO:
So the observed pattern emerges not from a single particle’s trajectory but from the entangled fractal instantiation of many potential paths—each reflecting the topology of the entire experimental context?

TOPO:
Exactly. The fractal instantiation reveals that the quantum event is a relationally structured whole—measurement constrains the fractal unfolding, collapsing nested potentials into a particular semiotic reality.
