The Many Worlds And Quantum Entanglement Interpretations Of Quantum Theory Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Edelman (1992: 216):
Other physicists have even proposed that there is no "collapse" of the wave function. Instead they conceive that there are "many worlds," in each one of which the function takes on a possible value alternative to the one in this world with this observer whom we see here and now. Still others have proposed a "quantum potential" that might even involve faster-than-light signalling, something that contradicts Einstein's theory of relativity!

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, Everett's 'Many Worlds' interpretation of Quantum Physics misconstrues potential (many possibilities) as actual (many worlds).  See the previous posts on Everett's 'Many Worlds' interpretation here.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, there is no faster–than–light signalling — as suggested by the notion of Quantum Entanglement and Bohm's Quantum Potential.  Two entangled photons are two related instances of the same system of quantum potential, where these are meanings of the material-relational domain construed by consciousness of experience of the non-semiotic domain.  See the previous posts on Quantum Entanglement here.
