The Path of Thought: A Record of Integrating Quantum Mechanics While Preserving Determinism as the Foundation

This short, personal essay chronicles the author's intellectual journey from a state of zero prior knowledge to embracing quantum mechanics as a powerful tool—without ever abandoning a deep love for determinism. Starting with pure determinism's aesthetic beauty, the path evolved through a "two-layer determinism" (macro-deterministic + micro-quantum fluctuations), ultimately leading to the mathematical redefinition of metacognition as a quantum instrument (Φ_M operator) and the Quantum Conservation Law of Consciousness (QCLC). The core motivation remained: preserving causal consistency and integrity while harnessing quantum convenience for explaining consciousness, self-establishment, and qualia uniqueness. This is 100% a recreational, self-reflective palate cleanser! Read it during a tea break with snacks—please laugh along and don't take it too seriously ♡♡♡
