Unus Mundus もつれもつれてもしかしたらひとつ

Unus Mundus Entangled, maybe one after all

My 6-year-old’s school route is a shortcut on a game trail through the woods.
Stumbling over craggy rocks as the autumn light, intertwined with fallen leaves and mushrooms on the ground, beautifully illuminated them.

Intertwined human relationships. Tangled hair. Tangled thread. Tangled electrical cords. Quantum entanglement. Tangled feet.
Several years ago, the successful capture of an image of photon quantum entanglement, which reportedly resembled the yin-yang symbol, became a hot topic.
(If it were "Mitsuko-san and Ryoko-san's entanglement," it would sound like a daytime TV drama from a while back. Lol.)
(I want to know how and why the various electrical cords behind the TV become so complexly tangled without me ever touching them.)

The phenomenon where particles strongly influence each other's states, appearing to share the same fate even when separated—the image of this entanglement—so closely resembling the yin-yang symbol, is truly Unus Mundus.
Jung would likely be very impressed. Perhaps even more delighted would be Bohr from Denmark. After all, he supposedly used the yin-yang symbol in the design of his medal.

Light, trees, mushrooms, fallen leaves, and even ourselves—when viewed microscopically, everything is a world composed of tiny particles.
Thinking of it like a pointillist painting, as these particles wriggle, the boundaries become blurred, and perhaps everything can be seen as one. I've written about this before.

If consciousness and emotions are also formed by "entanglement" through interaction.
It might be "All you need is Love," but isn't human love also always intertwined with hatred, tangling things up?

In psychology, good and evil, love and hate, lies and truth, joy and sorrow, intertwine as we live.
In physics, youth and old age intertwine, leading to death. Lol.
(By the way, the speed at which my presbyopia is progressing is a straight, headlong plunge, not even giving it time to tangle...)

Last night, while looking at a book called "Shogakukan Children's Encyclopedia Kids Pedia," I read that "in 200 to 300 million years (this 100-million-year scale is an overwhelmingly grand measure), most of the Earth's continents are expected to gather in Eurasia, forming a large continent again." This made me want to advise those who are currently fighting over their land.
With all due respect, I submit that in 200 to 300 million years, all those places will be jumbled and entangled, becoming one land again.
Am I using archaic Japanese correctly?

The photo shows the night sky viewed by a 19-year-old boy participating in a 3-day field study of the environment and geology in the Dalarna region.
At that moment, he is intertwined with the aurora borealis and the starry sky.
The observer is a loving, somewhat overprotective mother. Lol.

Everyone, have a healthy and enjoyable October! 🍁
