In the weeks leading up to the holiday season, news broke that Google's Willow Quantum AI project had smashed through a long-standing threshold with their quantum computing chip, achieving astounding results. In a December 9th, 2024, blog post, the founder and lead of Willow Quantum AI, Hartmut Neven, announced that Willow had performed two key benchmarks in quantum computing:?
"The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using?more?qubits.?This?cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years."
Later in the post, Neven alluded that Willow may be tapping into the matrix of a multiverse to achieve such incredible breakthroughs. Headlines from dozens of publications boldly announced the multiverse narrative as a viable hypothesis.?
"Second, Willow's performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's?fastest supercomputers?10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the?age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a?multiverse, a?prediction?first made by David Deutsch."??
As fascinating as the concept of a multiverse is, it exists purely in the realms of the fringe hypothetical and fantasy. We lack any solid scientific theory or mathematical conceptualization of a multiverse. Perhaps the idea comes from the fact that our favorite superheroes operate in a multiverse, so why not Supercomputers? Why would Hartmut Neven and the entirety of space and science media outlets embrace the idea that the quantum computer might need a connection to a multiverse to run its incredible calculations??
The idea of a multiverse has gained sensational recognition through pop-culture references in comics, TV, and movies. Our understanding of the quantum realm is highly theoretical, though we know through experimentation that matter and energy below the atomic level operate in a complex, unsteady state. We slip into the fantastical idea of the multiverse because our standard model for quantum physics doesn't correctly understand the true nature of our?own?universe.?
Modern challenges to the standard model have achieved observable results and shown that ideas such as superposition and dark energy are either incorrect or poor placeholders for a better understanding. These alternative models come from a systemic paradigm partnered with a unified Holofractal model of the universe. They can provide a clearer vision, and Willow offers working affirmation that this may be a closer representation of our reality.

Computer Science 101
A quantum computer operates very differently than the laptops and smartphones we carry?daily. To understand this, let's review a little Computer Science 101. Our modern desktop computers use a digital coding language based on binary—1 and 0. Decades ago, around the middle of the 20th century, the first digital computers filled entire rooms and explored possible solutions to mathematical problems by moving through a linear series of binary expositions. That simple binary coding of 1s and 0s became the foundation for all computing we live with today, from our first desktop computers to the internet and modern smartphones.?
Each 1 and 0 in binary is called a?bit,?representing single data states such as yes/no, up/down, right/left, open/closed, etc. Bits are aligned in coding sequences of eight bits to form one byte or a single line of code. Lines of bytes are sequenced to create commands. These commands form operations, and the operations form a system of computing that can be incredibly complex in their outcomes. To put it into context, the Apollo space missions used 32,768 bits of Radom Access Memory (RAM) to form their operational code and flew seventeen manned missions to the moon. The base model iPhone 16 uses 1,024,000,000 bits of RAM within its operating system, roughly 32,000 times greater computing capacity than Apollo. We've come a long way in computing to post a few selfies.
The Binary of Culture
The concept of binary should be quite relatable. As an outcome of building our modern society through digital binary coding, we've constructed a binary paradigm to function within our contemporary culture. We like to break the complexity of our world into simple, individualized, daily bits of choice and relatable data: Republican/Democrat, Good/Bad, Like/Dislike, and Right/Wrong. The natural world, quantum realm, and the universe-at-large operate in a far more complex manner, but who has time for that? The breakdown of complexity into understandable bits of consumable information is founded in the paradigm of reductionism and materialism. Our world moves fast, and we must keep up. So, we equip ourselves with quick and concise binary answers from which we can work, operate, and function throughout our daily lives.
Willow reminds us that the universe functions in dramatically unrelatable ways from the binary concepts we utilize in our everyday lives and digital interconnection. As a quantum computer, it doesn't use the standard binary model of bits and bytes as its language base. Willow operates through the qubit, a quantum bit of information. Unlike a binary bit of 1/0 coding to build single-state solutions (on/off, in/out, up/down, etc.), the qubit utilizes multiple potentialities of solution simultaneously - InOutUpDownRightLeftThroughOver. A qubit simultaneously examines numerous potential realities of information in an open-loop, nonlinear timeframe, whereas a binary bit concludes a singular data point within a linear time frame. That is where the assumption of a multiverse comes in.?
How can a qubit utilize multiple potential states of solutions simultaneously? From a reductionist/materialist paradigm, it can't. Over the past six centuries, the primary mode we've designed to understand our world has been to reduce complexity into a tangible, single-state solution through reductionism and materialism paradigms. Our mathematics, worldviews, and operating systems don't compute the infinite, nonlinear, and open-looped. Our cultural and computational paradigms demand solid-state answers to operate.
Therefore, we lean into the comic book idea of a multiverse to justify Willow's incredible computational power. We are creatures of incredible paradox. We can build a computer that functions within realms of the unknown without adopting the paradigm to explain how it works. However, systems theory, complexity paradigms, and a Holofractal model of the universe operate comfortably within the realm of nonlinear open loops.
The word quantum comes from the Latin inquiry quantus, meaning "how much?" Just as the binary bit is a function of a single-state solution, the qubit is a function of an open-looped, computational query - the binary seeks answers while the qubit seeks questions. The qubit’s open-loop design is called a feedback loop. We experience feedback and feedforward loops every day. The temperature drops, and the thermostat kicks the heat on. Our stomach rumbles, and we get something to eat. A feedback loop is an inquiry— it values the question more than the answer. Your stomach is asking, "When can we eat?" The thermostat is constantly asking, "What's the temperature?" It never stops taking the temperature; it's an open-loop inquiry, a feedback loop that tells the furnace when to kick on and when to stay off.?

In the real world, where we utilize binary paradigms to break down complexity into manageable, consumable bits, we rely on answers to get through our day and create our worldview. It is the source of our opinions, biases, beliefs, politics, faith, and values. We seek certainty and avoid uncertainty because we've built an entire world bit by bit on binary single-state solutions. Inquiry is not our base state for navigating our daily lives; certainty is. A century ago, it would have been far more challenging to live in the constant assumption of certainty, but today, with the speed of life and the pace of our daily routines, we rely on it. The takeaway is that we miss out on the infinite nature of an interconnected universe. We've traded infinite possibilities for limited solutions and innumerable options for multiple choice, paradoxically cultivating a paradigm of scarcity over abundance.?
?So Cold... So very coldddd......
The universe leans towards abundance. When we put limitations on that infinite nature, it gives us bad mathematical solutions, and we make poor assumptions regarding its function and essence. A Holofractal Unified model of the universe allows for Willow's incredible calculations without the need for superhero antics and multiverses. A key factor to Willow's performance is the super-cooling of its processor chip to?absolute zero degrees?along a temperature scale called Kelvin, which equals -273.15o Celsius.
Early quantum pioneers postulate Kelvin (W. Thompson, 1848) as the coldest achievable temperature in the universe, where all Newtonian functions of heat, light, and entropy processes halt. It is the same temperature as the fundamental Zero-Point Field (M. Plank, 1911), which early pioneers of quantum physics first calculated. Think of the Zero-Point Field as the basement of Spacetime, where, according to Max Plank, an infinite layer of energy rests in perfect equilibrium at 0 Kelvin. Within this Zero-Point Field, we don't find particles but interactions of energy that emerge from it when resonated—these are the slightest measurable spherical energy oscillations we can detect. These oscillations are called a Plank Spherical Unit (PSU) (V. Baker, N. Haramein, 2019).
When disrupted through resonance, these Plank Spherical Units (PSU) vibrate and create fundamental values. Think of the PSU as a single pixilated bit of Plank information that resonates into the material?form, i.e., photons, matter, consciousness. The infinite latticework of PSUs of the Zero Point Field is the matrix of our Spacetime fabric:
All time, all memory (there is no time without memory, after all), all space,?and?all matter?are stored?in this open-loop fabric of Holofractal conscious potential. When Willow is super-cooled to 0 Kelvin and switched on, it resonates at the frequency of this fundamental field and connects. Rather than Willow reaching into a multiverse to make dizzying calculations, a Holofractal model proposes that its very design engages the Holofractal matrix of infinite energy and information within our universe. Willow doesn't complete calculations; solutions emerge from the fabric of the Zero Point Field.
Google's Willow Quantum computer operates only within the parameters of the infinite, showing us that the very structure of our reality responds. When a qubit activates with a computational function, rather than running a binary function to find an answer within a linear timeframe, the qubit operates an inquiry of all the potential and probable answers available simultaneously. By leaning into inquiry, it reaches into the unfathomably motionless ocean of information and energy stored in the basement of Spacetime and returns with a solution. Those calculations are genuinely remarkable, and the implications dramatically affect how we foster and engage with information, knowledge, and consciousness.

The question to ask ourselves is, can we connect to this field, too??
