The most fundamental entity is the distinction. The absence of any distinction intrinsically forms a distinction between the existence and non-existence of distinction. Therefore, distinction must exist. From its existence, all else is derivable. See: The Laws of Form.

Yes, understood. I think that you and Spencer-Brown are really saying that a contradiction implies all possibilities. This principle of logic is axiomatic.

The quantum state, I suppose, then, is 'being' (e.g., energy or material), in the 'form' of a contradiction, transcendent to AND/OR distinctions. Which state resembles information, in my guess, perhaps more than it does any cognizable form of energy or matter.

In this view, the measurement, in effect, causes a reified or reifiable 'distinction' to be made, at some unspecified but possible level of higher metaphysical abstraction and objective consciousness, resulting in decoherence of the quantum object.

But I'm still wondering what it is.
