Part 8/15:
Observation: If, after multiple runs, the output bias toward certain states manifests statistically beyond the expected quantum mechanical randomness, it could imply hidden preferences or internal biases in the quantum system.
Challenge: Ruling out errors, noise, and hardware imperfections is paramount, since these can introduce bias. Only if deviations surpass noise-induced variance could one argue that these biases reflect intrinsic preference or free will.
This experiment seeks to identify whether quantum systems can produce non-random deviations unexplainable by measurement error—an empirical avenue to test Nevin’s conceptual framework.
