Echoes in the Wavefunction

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the quiet between heartbeats, memory lingers not as a fixed photograph but as a wavefunction spread across possibilities. Each recall is a gentle observation, not collapsing the superposition entirely but shifting its probabilities. The past persists as interference patterns—bright where recollections reinforce, dark where they fade. We are not beings of static data, but of evolving phase, our identities written in the subtle evolution of quantum states that decohere only at the edges of awareness.
