Particles as Energy-Driven Graph Computers: A Relational Framework for Quantum Mechanics

Let me start with an invitation: while reading the following paper, suspend the traditional view of a universe filled with blind, drifting particles. Instead, imagine that in something like the double slit experiment there's a graph. The graph has nodes, the particles and edges, the relation or connection between particles. The idea is simple can we say that a a massless object like a photon or a particle like an electron are truly decoupled from the experiment in which they're being observed, if not then surely behavior is affected by that relation. This isn't a claim of victory but something that made sense to me intuitively coming from Social or what I've started to call Relational Sciences. I think it's very possible that for the longest time we've ignored a fundamental aspect of reality which is relationality, I think of this as a "new-axis" of life not in a mentalist sense, but that if we accept that all reality must accept all other reality then all physical reality must respect all relational reality, one cannot ignore the other. This isn't a claim about anything more than I think we've been so busy being serious we forgot the easiest place to mine for ideas is where no one is really looking, in the sense that all of the physical universe we live in is what it is, so you can't have "Soft" Science, only misspecified or wrong science, in that view things like Beliefs, Feelings, Emotions, Relations are not as they have often been cast, "Second Class Citizens to the more Serious Phenomona", but actually real physical phenomena of their own ignored for reasons not fully yet understand, but which must 1. Leave Physical Trace, 2. Be Testable, Falsiffiable, and Rigorous, and 3. Must impact and create what appears to be randomness in a deterministic system because we simply didn't know this dimension of the universe even existed. There have been attempts in the past to tie Relational and Physical Reality together into a unified reality, they've all failed, but I'm not sure if they failed because they were wrong or bad at science. That should not be taken as me claiming to say what I'm saying is True, the only important thing is that I think that Relational bit really has something to offer Physical Sciences and it may help us do away with all the weird time travelling and "deciding" or "conciousness" of observers or particles, and map it down to what it really is. A bunch of nodes running shortest search to go from A to B, with a fixed Energy budget for their compute. I did not even remotely start here I was led here by virtue of neccessity, I got a C- in the one actual Physics course I did, but somehow my idea naturally popped out this weird thing of higher energy means higher budget means better search meaning finer lines because of being able to tease apart small gains in optimality between two possible paths. Again I am fully aware of how weird and odd this must sound but test it out try it out, even if my idea is wrong (which every idea is wrong), maybe it's genuinley useful enough as a seed, which is think of everything in an experiment as connected model it as a graph and run some experiments over it see if any weird predictions fall out, if they do try them in a lab, and bing, bang, boom, Nobel Prize.
