In the paper's words

URL: https://papers.qnfo.org/papers/simulated-stability-and-the-superdeterministic-quantum-machine/ Date: 2026-03-05 Superdeterminism is a deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics. It posits that all events are fundamentally predetermined. This includes the choices made by conscious observers.

The abstract, verbatim, and its opening sentence is the claim. Every line below is quoted from the text.

Numbers it reports

  1. The brain’s predictive model is constantly threatened by thermal entropy at a physiological temperature of 310 Kelvin.

    from CHAPTER
  2. 1: The Physical Reality of Superdeterminism and Entropy 1.1 Defining Superdeterminism in Quantum Mechanics Superdeterminism is a deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    from CHAPTER
  3. 1.2 The Mechanics of Entropy and Universal Disorder Entropy is a fundamental concept in modern thermodynamics.

    from CHAPTER
  4. 2.5 The Metabolic Cost of Processing Chaos The human brain is an incredibly energy-intensive organ.

    from CHAPTER
  5. 4.2 The Metabolic Efficiency of Heuristics The brain relies heavily on non-linear cognitive shortcuts operating at Self-Organized Criticality.

    from CHAPTER 4: The Evolutionary Advantage of Predictability |

How it is done

  1. Yet, physics dictates it is a bound, microscopic quantum system.

    from CHAPTER
  2. We are physical organisms bound by strict metabolic limits.

    from CHAPTER
  3. Science and philosophy are the tools we use to dismantle the unknown.

    from CHAPTER 5:
  4. Compartmentalization is the most common and effective method for daily survival.

    from CHAPTER 6: Behavioral Consequences of Deterministic

What would falsify it

  1. 2: The Neurological Basis of Simulated Stability 2.1 The Brain as a Predictive Processing Engine The brain functions primarily as a prediction engine.

    from CHAPTER
  2. Errors in prediction trigger neurological updates.

    from CHAPTER
  3. We experience the prediction, not the actual universe.

    from CHAPTER

Where the claim stops

  1. True randomness does not exist in this model.

    from CHAPTER
  2. Human perception cannot directly detect these microscopic hidden variables.

    from CHAPTER
  3. The universe does not move toward moral endpoints.

    from CHAPTER
