“The Landscape is a space of possibilities … It has geography and
topography with hills, valleys, flat plains, deep trenches, mountains
and mountain passes. But unlike an ordinary landscape, it isn’t
three-dimensional.” P. 90 “Cosmic Landscape”
The macro-quantum landscape is a fiber space over the ordinary
space-time. This is why spacetime physics is local and why we do not
find giant Schrodinger Cats in a coherent superposition of dead and
alive. Note that Bohm’s hidden variable theory, like Murray Gell-Mann’s
complexity theory, uses a landscape that is a fiber space over the
configuration space of the micro-quantum system. All BIT pilot waves,
excited states as well as the ground state are landscapes on which the
hidden variable IT “system point” is a rolling stone that gathers no
moss. The micro-quantum landscape is BIT telling IT how to move without
any direct back-reaction of IT on BIT. This implies “no cloning”, i.e.,
“signal locality” without any possibility of using nonlocal quantum
entanglement to send messages faster than light or backward through time
in telepathic controlled spooky action at a distance. The dimension of
Lenny’s macro-quantum cosmic landscape is the number of real Planck
Higgs fields. In my model for the emergence of gravity at 10-33 cm, the
dimension is 3 real scalar fields with two Goldstone phases that give
the G/H vacuum manifold S2 with point defects. This is not the same as
the electroweak Higgs field at 10-16 cm that gives the masses of leptons
and quarks. It is the acceleration resistance to this coherent
electro-weak Higgs field that is the origin of inertia. The random
electromagnetic field for the origin of these masses of the
Haisch-Puthoff theory is not correct. Both the origin of gravity and the
origin of the masses of the elementary particles are vacuum coherence
effects not random effects. The electroweak Higgs field splits off from
the Planck Higgs field.
“The Landscape … doesn’t exist in space and time at all … each of [its]
points represent a possible … vacuum … a potential for all the things
that can happen in that background. It mean a list of all the elementary
particles as well as the constants of nature … it means an environment
in which the Laws of Physics take a particular form.” P.91

I haven't read it but I think I will. Thanks.
