RE: [External] Re: [SBoC-F] Death as Disentanglement

Cathy,
No! Formal description is not same. In physics, entanglement is described by a two particle wave function
H(1)*V(2) + V(1) *H (2) where H and V are polarization states of a single photon and 1 and 2 are two photons. This means that if an observation reveals H or V state of 1st particle (no matter where , how far), the 2nd particle has to be either in V or H state respectively. The 2nd particle has no random choice unlike the first particle. I do not see any resemblance between this and your state
|mind>* |P up> + | no mind> * | P down>
In your case no mind state is already inanimate physical state. So there is overlap between it and P down state whereas the first mind according to you is nonphysical. In physics case both H and V are strictly physical measurable states.

This is not correct. I have no idea how you arrive at this conclusion, since the formal description is the same in both cases.
