>>12378790there's an underlying fabric of particles interacting beneath the quantum level and we only see the outputs of those interactions. think conway's game of life. they interact in strange little patterns, some of those patterns are stable, some can move, etc. quantum states are just a mishmash of interaction patterns, and they collapse via interaction because the significantly more stable interactions that create stuff like matter basically consumes them.
people can invent shit like pic related with what is essentially localized on/off switches; imagine what could come about randomly over trillions of years with limitless interaction potential.
