From Quantum Foundations via Natural Language Meaning to a Theory of Everything

In this paper we argue for a paradigmatic shift from ‘reductionism’ to ‘togetherness’. In particular, we show how interaction between systems in quantum theory naturally carries over to modelling how word meanings interact in natural language. Since meaning in natural language, depending on the subject domain, encompasses discussions within any scientific discipline, we obtain a template for theories such as social interaction, animal behaviour, and many others. 1 ...in the beginning was b No physicists! ...the symbol b above does not stand for the operation that turns two Hilbert spaces into the smallest Hilbert space in which the two given ones bilinearly embed. No category-theoreticians! ...neither does it stand for the composition operation that turns any pair of objects (and morphisms) in a monoidal category into another object, and that is subject to a horrendous bunch of conditions that guaranty coherence with the remainder of the structure. Instead, this is what it means:
