ABSTRACT

        The present work offers an interpretation of quantum theory in which microscopic physical objects are conceptualized as multi-state processes and so can exist in many states simultaneously. When microscopic multi-state objects are assembled into larger structures, the multi-state character is constrained by an emergent context generated by correlations between the objects of the assemblage; hence the notion of quantum linguistics. Of special interest are those systems that transmit multi-state character up to the macroscopic scale. Such novel systems are identified with living systems. Additionally, multi-state systems, and therefore quantum systems, are shown to generate information, which accounts for the possibility of their creative and evolutionary character and development.
