Creating a Wormhole

When consciousness emerges in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk space, it could establish a 'mathematical' laboratory at the boundary of this space. In this lab, two black holes are initialized with their physical laws encoded within them. The merging of these entangled black holes leads to the formation of a wormhole. The properties of this wormhole are governed by Susskind’s Second Law of Quantum Complexity. The conscious entities inhabiting this mathematical universe may exist within such a wormhole.

Wormholes could be engineered to facilitate the ambitions of consciousness in AdS bulk space. For instance, if consciousness aims to explore the premise that “what can happen, will happen,” then wormholes could be utilized to investigate new avenues.

One of Susskind’s papers, titled ER=EPR, outlines the scenario where two entangled black holes can be merged to form a wormhole. His research proposes that it is feasible to generate two entangled black holes within a laboratory setting to facilitate information transfer—one black hole acts as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. Additionally, Susskind explores the implications of splitting a black hole to create a ‘daughter’ black hole that remains highly entangled with the original, larger black hole.

In his ER=EPR, GHZ paper, Susskind describes an experimental setup with three observers and two black holes that are maximally entangled and connected via a wormhole, yet are physically distant. Alice, one of the observers, measures all the components (computational qubits) of the black hole under Bob's observation. Her memory system is sufficiently expansive to log all observations. Following her measurement, Alice concludes that Bob’s black hole is in a pure state, thus no longer entangled with the second black hole being measured by Charlie. Essentially, Alice determines that after her measurement, no wormhole exists between Bob’s and Charlie’s black holes.

Daisy, Alice’s acquaintance, understands the entire system but has not interacted with any observers since Alice's measurement. Daisy describes the setup as two black holes with Alice’s memory in a tripartite state. Moreover, Alice’s memory could potentially be compressed into a black hole, resulting in a tripartite system comprising three black holes. Daisy asserts that these three black holes are entangled, implying a wormhole must connect them. This presents a contradiction between the conclusions drawn by Alice and Daisy.

Borromean Rings

Susskind suggests that the discrepancy between Alice and Daisy’s conclusions can be reconciled by acknowledging the existence of ‘GHZ entanglement’. In this framework, among three black holes, no two are entangled with each other, yet each is entangled with the collective of the other two. Geometrically, this arrangement resembles Borromean rings, as discussed in the Efimov effect in earlier articles.

After establishing that three black holes can exhibit GHZ entanglement, Susskind presents a scenario where Bob and Charlie each observe one of two entangled black holes. Charlie then begins to observe a separate black hole, which is not entangled with either of the other two. This black hole contains what Susskind refers to as ‘Charlie’s big bag of complexity’.

Charlie seeks to eliminate his big bag of complexity. By merging his two black holes, he entangles his complexity with Bob’s black hole. He can manipulate the contents of the black hole containing his complexity to identify (measure) (i) the components he wishes to retain and (ii) those he intends to discard.

After allowing sufficient time for the merger of the two black holes to reach thermal equilibrium, Charlie can sever his end of the merged black hole by conducting a complete measurement of the union of both black holes in the computational basis. This action destroys the wormhole linking Bob and Charlie, leaving Bob with Charlie’s unwanted complexity. Charlie keeps the components he desires.

With this ‘smaller’ collection, Charlie can initiate the formation of another universe (black hole) from just the elements he chooses to preserve. In the context of the original AdS bulk space, consciousness orchestrates events such that the boundary hosts a laboratory capable of generating three black holes. Charlie's big bag of complexity, outlining the evolution of a universe, is embedded into one of the black holes. The remaining two entangled black holes assume possession of Charlie’s discarded complexity. This process can be repeated multiple times, with different contents selected for removal from Charlie's complexity.

The Role of Our Universe

Our universe is structured to assist in identifying and selecting appropriate content (minds) for a newly conceived universe. Once a sufficient number of like-minded individuals are recognized, a new universe is formed comprising solely those entities. This set-theoretic universe remains unentangled with the other ‘universes’ from which it was derived.

Minds within our universe possess free will. The goal of this selection process is to pinpoint minds that exhibit the desired traits for the new universe without compromising their autonomy. The new universe is designed to explore fresh possibilities stemming from the free will decisions of its inhabitants.

The central question of this article is:

Can you discern when you are exercising free will?
