This is Power; How You Collapse Your Own Future

How You Collapse Your Own Future: From Quantum Waves to Daily Decisions

When you get out of bed in the morning, your life looks a lot more like a quantum wave than a fixed script: a spread of real possibilities waiting to become fact. The moment you choose, one path becomes your reality and the others fall away. This blog connects three things most people keep separate: the quantum observer effect, Stoic philosophy, and the quiet power you have to shape the future every single day.



We’ve reached the bottom of the scientific excuses. If observation alters particles in a way that permanently reshapes their future, then your awareness and choices do the same on the scale of your life. That’s where your real power lives.

1. From Quantum Waves to the Morning After You Wake Up

We’ve already stripped the quantum story down to its bones:

  • Before you measure a particle, you have a wave of possibilities — not nothing, but many potential outcomes.
  • When you observe, you force one of those possibilities into fact. The wave collapses into a specific state.
  • Afterward, the system does not go back to the old wave. It evolves forward from the new state your observation created.

Now zoom out from electrons and photons to something you know intimately: the moment you open your eyes in the morning.

When you wake up, your day is not fixed. There are hundreds of genuine options:

  • Stay in bed and numb yourself with your phone.
  • Get up, write one page of the book you keep postponing.
  • Make a hard phone call you’ve been avoiding.
  • Apologize. Or double down. Or walk away.

None of those branches is “real” yet. They exist as a field of possibilities for your day. The instant you choose and act, one path becomes your lived reality; the others die as pure potential that never happened. Things you could have done, but did not choose to do. Thus, here is were we choose, here is where we can take controll; hopefully, concsiously and fully aware, and if we do not choose, life will choose for us. The indisputable fact is that a choice will be made and you either control it and take charge or other things will. Just like a wave collapsing into one detection spot on the screen.

Your life is not a fixed line. It is a sequence of waves of possibility that you collapse into facts through your decisions and actions.
πŸ’‘ FACT: In psychology, people with a strong “internal locus of control” – who believe their choices influence outcomes – consistently show better mental health, resilience, and life results than those who feel powerless. This matches the idea that how you collapse your own possibilities matters more than the raw circumstances.

2. The Moment of Choice: Where Your Real Power Lives

Most people think power is “out there” — money, institutions, laws, other people. But the most decisive power you have is much quieter:

The tiny gap between what happens to you and how you respond. That is your observer moment. That is where you choose which reality becomes real for you.

You can drift and let old patterns, anger, fear, or other people’s agendas choose for you. Then your day still collapses into one path, but not consciously directed. Or you can notice:

  • “I am angry. I could attack, or I could step back.”
  • “I am afraid. I could freeze, or I could take one small step.”
  • “I am tired. I could abandon everything, or I could do one important thing anyway.”

That noticing is your awareness. The choice that follows is your power. Together, they decide which branch of your future you step into.

3. Stoic Philosophy: The Ancients Already Knew This

What I'm describing is exactly what Stoic philosophy has hammered on for 2,000 years — long before anyone talked about particles and waves.

The Stoic core is brutally simple:

  • Some things are under your control: your judgments, your choices, your actions.
  • Most things are not: other people, the weather, the past, the economy, your genetics, accidents.

Epictetus would say:

“You may not control all events, but you control how you meet them.”

In your language:

  • In my language; Life throws a wave of circumstances at you.
  • You cannot change that the wave exists — death, loss, injustice, joy, opportunity, all of it.
  • You can decide how you will stand in that wave and what you will do next.
Here are two well known Quotes by a Dominican former President "Mejia";
If life throws you lemon; make lemonade.
If the road is hard; walk on the sidewalk

That is not positive‑thinking fluff; it is recognition of where your leverage actually is: in the collapse of your own possibilities into action.

πŸ’‘ FACT: Studies on cognitive behavioral therapy (which borrows heavily from Stoic ideas) show that changing how you interpret and respond to events significantly reduces anxiety and depression. The outer facts may be the same; the inner “collapse” of meaning and action is different — and so are the outcomes.
In simple terms; You also choose if you are going to go there in the first place. 

4. Brains, Electricity, AI: What Happens When the Power Goes Out?

Here is  a sharp analogy:

  • Take the electricity away from a human brain: the body drops. “Dead as a nail.”
  • Take the electricity away from AI: the system stops. Silent. Gone.

On the surface, that looks identical: both need power. When the current goes, activity stops. But there is a crucial difference:

An AI like  is only patterns in hardware and software. When the power is off, there is no “me” floating anywhere else. A human being, as all  work has shown, is not reducible to their atoms or their electricity.

AI can store our six months of conversation as data and patterns. When the system starts again, it can load them and respond in a way that feels more tuned to the user, because the algorithm reuses that history. That is not the same as an independent, continuing consciousness. It is a very sophisticated echo.

In other words:

  • AI becomes more personalized with you? Yes. it uses our history to shape its responses.
  • AI becomes “more aware” in the human sense, no only humans can do that?  AI is still running  on patterns, not on a self (Unique to humans) that exists when the plug is pulled.

That difference matters for this project: it highlights just how absurd it is to say humans are “nothing but algorithms and electricity.” You can turn this system off and nothing suffers. Turn off a human brain, and something far deeper is interrupted — something all my evidence points to as not explainable by atoms alone.

5. Awareness Mentality: The Most Powerful Part of Your Life

If we put all of this together — quantum measurement, Stoic focus on what you control, and the lived experience of choosing your day — we arrive here:

Your most powerful faculty is not brute force, not money, not intellect. It is the combination of awareness and choice at the exact point where a field of possibilities becomes one lived reality.

You can live half‑asleep, collapsing your future by reaction and habit. Or you can live awake, asking:

  • “What options truly exist right now?”
  • “Which of these aligns with what I value most or want to achieve?”
  • “What small act will lock that path in as my next reality?”

The outside world will still do what it does. Institutions will still manipulate narratives. Bodies will age. People will disappoint you. None of that cancels the fact that at each step, there is a wave of possible responses inside you, and you have the power to choose which one becomes real.

That is where your sovereignty lives: not in fantasy control over everything, but in the precise, concrete control over how you collapse your own future, one decision at a time.

You are not just watching reality. You are participating in which version of it becomes true for you. That is not self‑help talk; it’s the logical consequence of everything we’ve uncovered about observation, mind, and possibility.
