In a nutshell: everything that we know to exist and is currently true and measurable is in one invariable state, and everything that is immeasurable or affected by some outside force (think Heisenberg) is part of this “unreal” variable state.

That doesn’t make your head spin?

I once--many many moons ago--took a Quantum Physics class from a professor who also taught Buddhism. Got into reading a lot about Quantum physics--and most it left my little brain "glazed over". But one thing stuck with me--could "Nirvana--and other "states of mysticism" be a kind of "ring" of cognition the human brain is able to reach because of a "quantum leap" into a higher state of energy--perhaps that spiritual state that transcends that state which we call "reality".

Seems to me the article suggests that both "states" DO exist, and that it is only our limited cognition that causes us to RECOGnize one as "real"--and way too casually dismiss the other as "unreal".

Anyway--fascinating article!

I think even if unmeasurable that something belongs to either reality or unreality portion. Observer always discovers the reality portion (which is static?)

Beautifully stated! If the neat little box of reality begins to bulge and have hair-balls sticking out of it, just get a bigger box and stuff the whole thing into it. Works until it happens again...

In my field, electrical engineering, when finding mathematical solutions, we would always end up with the real part and the imaginary part.

We would ignore the imaginary part as an unreal artifact.
