the occult logic of the quantum mechanics

Imagine representing the entire pedal stroke of a cyclist (360 degrees) in a flipbook. If we use only 10 drawings for the entire cycle, flipping through the pages will reveal a rough and jerky movement. Double the drawings to 20: the pedaling immediately appears smoother and the sharpness increases. Moving to 30 or 40 drawings, the action becomes almost fluid and seamless.
The more we increase the drawings, the more harmonious the movement becomes, but the execution time slows down. With hundreds of drawings, time dilates immensely, and it seems the pedaling has no end. By inserting an immense number of drawings, the saturation is total: time stops, and the cyclist comes to a halt.
This thought experiment is the gateway to a radical physical theory: the time we perceive and experience might simply be the "frequency" at which reality updates itself.
This book explores the paradigm of the Sub-Quantum Mechanism (SQM), demonstrating how physical time is not an absolute and inexorable flow, but an illusion emerging from the profound dance between information and matter. Starting from this intuitive analogy, the reader will be guided on an audacious journey that touches upon the ignored workings of quantum mechanics, the origin of gravity, the nature of consciousness, and the ultimate mystery of aging.
The proposal is staggering: the more a system—from an elementary particle to a complex organism—"lingers" in the informational fabric of a non-local virtual basin, the more slowly it evolves and "ages" in the physical world. This book investigates the fundamental puzzles of modern physics, also seeking to answer a question that has remained pending for a century: why does the presence of a mass curve spacetime?
Contemporary physics has achieved extraordinary predictive power, but often at the cost of marginalizing the search for an underlying physical mechanism. Questions about the collapse of the wave function—which Roger Penrose has defined as being explained in a simply "wrong" way by the standard interpretation—or even the double-slit experiment, remain without a satisfactory causal answer.
The SQM model does not dispute consolidated experimental results; rather, it aims to provide an underlying physical cause for relationships accepted today as purely formal. It suggests that Relativity can be considered a corollary of the quantum, discrete, and elastic nature of reality.
The journey of this work is structured in two parts.
Part One is descriptive and accessible, designed to guide a curious reader with a general scientific background through the fundamental intuitions, comfortably skipping any technical notes inserted in certain paragraphs.
Part Two, consisting instead of rigorous appendices, provides the mathematical formalization, demonstrating in some cases a methodological autonomy of the SQM, through which concrete results can be derived without resorting to Einstein's field equations. This work must be considered an open door onto the enigmatic Virtual Field where the entire information of our world is managed, and perhaps that of other configurations of matter and energy yet to be discovered. We hope that others will be opened towards the depths of the Unknown.
