Every choice you make is not one cause, but a whole swarm of quantum states. When an amoeba turns left, it's not a rigid chain of events behind it, but a cloud of possibilities, like chefs cooking one soup with slightly different recipes. The new model gives free will a solid physical foundation—and opens the way to quantum computers that make decisions like living beings.

🎯 The number of invisible quantum states in a glass of water exceeds the number of atoms in the entire visible universe—which is why a glass of water looks the same every second, even though everything is bubbling inside.

S = k \log W
