Dear mfb, Yes, I thought that the placing of wrong battery in δ could be considered a kind delayed measurement made by the dealer, that could influence the outcomes of X and Y, as a kind of “hidden variable”. But that was my mistake, as you write, so if X will find δ uncalculating, the...

Dear mfb, I will do my best to explain the point. The experiment was arranged by two observers X and Y that bought the two nanocomputers by a not very honest dealer that guarantees that the batteries had the same life. So both X and Y were unaware of the battery life of δ, but aware of...

Dear Mtf, Regarding the impossibility to have the two nanocomputer calculating and uncalculating together, you are right, I made a mistake, probably I should have to use two photons having the same initial polarization, that in superposition would results |ψ>= 1/ √2 |1V>|2V> + 1/√ 2|1H>|2H>)...

Dear Bill, You are right, I apologize, I will try to re-arrange the experiment trying to meet your requirements: We have two nanocomputers δ and β able to do, many operations, including calculations of problems stored in their memory. Everything at extremely low temperature in an isolated...

As I wrote before, is not my main goal to realize, now, the entanglement experiment. All the thought experiment is only to illustrate my question, so, please, consider for a moment that the two microcomputers are really entangled, and described by the equation |ψ>. After the death of δ, for...

For Schroedinger's hammer, I mean an extremely small device able to cause the lost of consciousness without kill the microcomputer. Regarding the consciousness, I am taking it in the simplest way, i.e. the subjective esperience, that you have when you are awake and you not have when you are...

Obviously the system is isolated as I wrote in my first letter. The entanglements should be obtained aproximately in that way: 1) source of entangled photons 2) two polarizers 3) two Schrodinger's hammers (one per microcomputer) carefully calibrated, that, if the photon pass through the...

Dear Bill, Thank you for accepting to discuss my example with a Collapse interpretation. Yes, the death of the microcomputer δ is determined by the battery. This is the motive of the choice of the consciousness among the many attributes of the microcomputers. But the two...

Dear Bill, Thank you for your answer. My example is not strictly related to the Von Neumann/Wigner interpretation, I have written consciousness, but it could be every other attribute of microcomputers. Thank you for your book suggestion. Personally I am more inclined to Collapse point...

I am trying to understand something about the problem of self-measurement in entangled system, I will try to do an example, please help me: If we have an isolated system with two entangled, conscious, microcomputers, one, δ with 1 hour cell, and the other β with a 10 hours cell. Here I am...
