Yikes!!! very bad. I inadvertently reused the same notation ;(
There just aren't enough parentheses in the world...
yes, my {} voyagers are different from the whole universe. The whole
universe I'll
represent by
[_ _]
In other words, this represents a global system rather than a local system
We then have
[_ _] = global system
[ ] = local system
{ } = messenger (voyager)

No, sorry -- global systems, local systems, messengers and (quantum) logical
forms

I have some ideas on this, I need to write them down
It's not hard to get quantum logic from a Laws of Form -like formalism.
The trick will be to get quantum dynamics to emerge from a simple
"re-entrant form"
or iteration on this space...

The boundary [] demarcates a local system, a subjective reality
The quantum boundary <> is an elementary quantum logical operator, which may
be nested
<<>> or put side by side <> <> to yield arbitrary quantum propositions.
(By analogy
to Spencer-Brown's Laws of Form which similarly yields Boolean algebra). I
need to work
out the details, which may of course fail to work ;O

More later!!
