Patient-Practitioner-Remedy (PPR) Entanglement, Part 8: ‘Laser-Like’ Action of the Homeopathic Therapeutic Encounter as Predicted by a Gyroscopic Metaphor for the Vital Force

Abstract

Background: A preliminary mathematical model for the Vital Force had been developed based on the idea of a metaphorical gyroscope, combined with earlier notions derived from Weak Quantum Theory (WQT) and Patient-Practitioner-Remedy (PPR) Entanglement. This combination generates a hypothetical ‘wave function’ as a description of the state of the Vital Force that is intimately related to the secondary symptom picture of the therapeutic remedy, and is capable of illustrating certain empirical observations of the homeopathic process, including the bi-phasal action of remedies and some of the results gained from provings. Objective: The goal of this present study was to further develop the idea of a Vital Force ‘wave function’ by generating insights into its mode of reaction to therapeutic intervention by a practitioner. Methods: In orthodox quantum theory, the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, in which a particle’s wave function is operated upon by the Hamiltonian total energy operator, provides information concerning the temporal evolution of the wave function. By analogy, a secondary-symptom-dependent Vital Force equation is postulated in which the Vital Force ‘wave function’ is operated upon by a so-called ‘homeopathic operator’. Results: By inserting the previously developed wave function for the Vital Force into the secondary-symptom-dependent Vital Force equation, another equation is generated mathematically reminiscent of longitudinal mode standing waves set up in the resonant cavity of a laser. Conclusion: In the language of therapeutics, it is often said an essential part of the curative process is that practitioners act as ‘mirrors’ for their patients. Previous papers in this series have shown that this reflective practitioner activity is more than a poetic analogy. Borrowing from the mathematical formalism of quantum theory, with its ideas of entangled, coherent wave-functions as metaphors for the homeopathic process, this mirror-like activity can be seen to be an integral part of the curative therapeutic encounter. The preliminary theoretical investigation reported here develops the metaphor further by suggesting that the effect of this practitioner mirror-like activity on a patient’s Vital Force during the therapeutic encounter, might be likened to the sequence of operations by which lasers function. The analogy seems compelling, as an essential feature of laser operation is the arrangement of parallel mirrors placed at both ends of the laser’s resonant cavity.

Genus Epidemicus: Are Notions of Entanglement Relevant to the Homeopathic Understanding of Epidemic Disease?

“…Propositions 3 and 4: By analogy with the time-dependent Schrödinger equation of the orthodox quantum theory, a secondary symptom-dependent Vf equation has been postulated [42], which suggests how the Vf function, Ψ Vf , evolves when it is operated upon by a ‘homeopathic operator' Πr and the curative remedy Rx:…”

Towards a New Model of the Homeopathic Process Based on Quantum Field Theory

“…The Kochen-Specker proof arguably could be significant for quantum theoretical models of the therapeutic state. Thus, previous papers in this series [1,8,13], have argued that the 'therapeutic state space' is best likened to a 'mirror'; something that seems to tally with practitioners' experience of the curative therapeutic process. Mirrors exist essentially in a plane, i.e., in 2-dimensions.…”

“…This permitted some novel illustrations of certain empirical homeopathic observations, e.g., the Arndt-Schulz Law [10], Wilder's Law of Limiting Value [11], and aspects of the homeopathic proving process [12]. In addition, this 'gyroscopic wave-function' approach to the Vf indicates that the therapeutic effect of PPR entanglement may be likened to the mode of action of a laser [13]. The purpose of this paper is to explore concepts that would enable new modelling possibilities to arise out of a more advanced theoretical approach to the homeopathic process, based on quantum field theory or QFT.…”

Research on Homeopathy: State of the Art

“…It was this situation that has led some researchers to postulate nonlocal mechanisms, [169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179] in line with Hahnemann's general way of theorizing. 180 Several of these models exist and vary in their degree of explicitness and general approach, and also in the way they include the remedy and the practitioner in the equation.…”
