“…A simple model of NRQM for a single scalar particle involves the propagation of the wave function (local coupling effectiveness) by means of a discrete version of the propagator for the corresponding Schrodinger equation. It can be shown that even such a simple model reproduces the usual quantum mechanical wave function to a very high degree of accuracy [1,2,3].…”

The Process Algebra model has been shown to provide an alternative mathematical framework for non-relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM). It reproduces the wave functions of non-relativistic quantum mechanics to a high degree of accuracy. It posits a fundamental level of finite, discrete events upon which the usual entities of NRQM supervene. It has been suggested that the Process Algebra model provides a true completion of NRQM, free of divergences and paradoxes, with causally local information propagation, contextuality and realism. Arguments in support of these claims have been mathematical. Missing has been an ontology of this fundamental level from which the formalism naturally emerges. In this paper it is argued that information and information flow provides this ontology. Higher level constructs such as energy, momentum, mass, spacetime, are all emergent from this fundamental level.

“…Sulis [98,99] proposes the mathematical framework of tapestries which is a formal representational system. Tapestries represent information flow by means of multi layered, recursive, interlinked graphical structures that express both geometry (form or sign) and logic (semantics).…”

“…Observables are represented by tapestry 'informons' while subjective or hidden components (for example intellectual and emotional processes) are incorporated into a reality game that determines the tapestry dynamics. Details on causal tapestries can be found in Sulis' thesis [99], namely in Appendix C and D where the basic ideas of process theory, archetypal dynamics, causal tapestries and emergence are described. An implementation of a causal tapestry for a realistic analytics or information fusion problem is still required in view of comparison and valuation with respect to other frameworks below.…”

Information overload and complexity are core problems to most organizations of today. The advances in networking capabilities have created the conditions of complexity by enabling richer, real-time interactions between and among individuals, objects, systems and organizations. Fusion of Information and Analytics Technologies (FIAT) are key enablers for the design of current and future decision support systems to support prognosis, diagnosis, and prescriptive tasks in such complex environments. Hundreds of methods and technologies exist, and several books have been dedicated to either analytics or information fusion so far. However, very few have discussed the methodological aspects and the need of integrating frameworks for these techniques coming from multiple disciplines. This paper presents a discussion of potential integrating frameworks as well as the development of a computational model to evolve FIAT-based systems capable of meeting the challenges of complex environments such as in Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT).

“…The process approach is based upon research in complex systems theory [24][25][26] and non-Kolmorogov probability theory [1,[27][28][29]. The latter has shown that non-Kolmogorov probability structure appears in the classical world as well as in quantum mechanics.…”

A Process Algebra Approach to Quantum Electrodynamics

The process approach to NRQM offers a fourth framework for the quantization of physical systems. Unlike the standard approaches (Schrödinger-Heisenberg, Feynman, Wigner-Gronewald-Moyal), the process approach is not equivalent to NRQM and is not merely a re-interpretation. The process approach provides a dynamical completion of NRQM. Standard NRQM arises as a asymptotic quotient by means of a set-valued process covering map, which links the process algebra to the usual space of wave functions and operators on Hilbert space. The process approach offers an emergentist, discrete, finite, quasi-non-local and quasi-non-contextual realist interpretation which appears to resolve many of the paradoxes and is free of divergences. Nevertheless, it retains the computational power of NRQM and possesses an emergent probability structure which agrees with NRQM in the asymptotic quotient. The paper describes the process algebra, the process covering map for single systems and the configuration process covering map for multiple systems. It demonstrates the link to NRQM through a toy model. Applications of the process algebra to various quantum mechanical situations -superpositions, two-slit experiments, entanglement, Schrödinger's cat -are presented along with an approach to the paradoxes and the issue of classicality.
