Binary Machines, Quantum Playground? On the Transformational Potential of Aesthetic-Epistemic Intervention

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how aesthetic and pedagogic interventions can challenge and transform binary language models and their impacts on understanding quantum physics.
• Developed a co-creative epistemic artifact called Symphony of the Spheres using AI.
• Translated historical numerological systems and color theories into context-dependent tunes.
• Analyzed the effects of these interventions on perceptions of quantum-relational thinking.
• Demonstrated that aesthetic interventions reshape substantialist worldviews in binary language models.
• Revealed the potential for non-linear, contextual, and participatory engagement in quantum thinking.
• Showcased Symphony of the Spheres as a novel tool for transforming perceptions of reality.
