SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of particles when observed, asserting that particles conform to a non-quantum state only when viewed, influenced by light. The conversation explores the implications of light's speed in affecting particles that are trillions of miles apart, suggesting that these particles exist as a unified entity within a vast spatial container. It raises questions about the existence of matter beyond the boundaries of this spatial fabric and its relationship to the uncertainty principle, positing that matter is inherently limited to the boundaries defined by its own existence.

PREREQUISITES

Only if particles are viewed, do they conform to a non-quantum state. And when viewed, the light governs the state of the particle, as if the particle was a class, with a boolean property, normal state = yes, or normal-state = no (quantum).

So the primary principle which governs particles is light, but how can light be fast enough to change the state of two particles existing in separate spaces, trillions of miles apart? I therefore expand that these two points (in non-normal state) must exist as one, and space as a whole is like one MASSIVE container. So how does matter behave outside of this container. If matter past through the boundaries of space fabric, would it still exist?, could it exist? and is matter limited to the boundaries of space?

Sounds like you're talking about uncertainty principle.
 
Or perhaps in this case the container is always and only where matter (or energy) is or has been, and therefore matter can never cross its boundary, because the boundary is defined by matter.
