Quantum TV Life: A Quantum-Emotional Toy Model for Dynamic Storytelling

This project is a creative simulation that combines principles of quantum mechanics with emotional modeling to produce a dynamic, participatory media experience.

What is this?

Quantum TV Life is an experimental framework where:

• A viewer's "emotional state" is modeled as a quantum superposition across 10 basic emotions.
• Upon observing a TV show, their emotional state is measured—collapsing into one emotion (like a quantum measurement).
• The outcome of the show (which plot line the viewer sees) is weighted by the full probability spectrum of their emotions, not just the actualized emotion—mirroring quantum measurement's influence on physical reality.

Run the script, and you'll see the "reality" of the show change with each run, and with each observer.

Features

• QuantumHuman class simulates a quantum system of emotions.
• Demonstrates quantum measurement collapse and the influence of probabilities.
• TV show Life with 10 possible plot lines, chosen in a quantumly personalized way.
• Demonstrates the participatory nature of quantum theory in a playful, narrative context.

Usage

1. Install dependencies:

pip install numpy scipy

2. Run the script: quantum_life.py

3. Observe the output:

• The script prints the initial emotional superposition, the (optional) randomly mixed state, the measured (collapsed) emotion, and the selected plot outcome.

4. Rerun to see how the outcome changes!

Example Output

Initial quantum superposition of viewer's emotions:
Joy         : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Sadness     : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Anger       : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Fear        : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Disgust     : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Surprise    : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Trust       : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Anticipation: amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Acceptance  : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100
Boredom     : amplitude = +0.316+0.000j, pr = 0.100

After random emotional quantum operation:
Joy         : amplitude = -0.253+0.345j, pr = 0.183
Sadness     : amplitude = -0.176+0.314j, pr = 0.130
Anger       : amplitude = -0.183+0.012j, pr = 0.034
Fear        : amplitude = +0.010+0.265j, pr = 0.070
Disgust     : amplitude = +0.225-0.068j, pr = 0.055
Surprise    : amplitude = -0.056-0.045j, pr = 0.005
Trust       : amplitude = +0.385+0.140j, pr = 0.168
Anticipation: amplitude = -0.288+0.082j, pr = 0.089
Acceptance  : amplitude = +0.350-0.077j, pr = 0.128
Boredom     : amplitude = +0.034-0.368j, pr = 0.137

Measuring emotional state...
Your emotion upon observing 'Life' is: **JOY**
Probabilities that led to this outcome:
  joy: 0.183
  sadness: 0.130
  anger: 0.034
  fear: 0.070
  disgust: 0.055
  surprise: 0.005
  trust: 0.168
  anticipation: 0.089
  acceptance: 0.128
  boredom: 0.137

------- TV Show 'Life' (Quantum Collapsed) -------
The show actualizes as: JOY
You experience: Plot 1: A joyous reunion changes everything.

How Does It Work?

1. QuantumHuman: Models emotions as quantum superposition.
2. Measurement: Collapses to a definite emotion, but keeps all probabilities for plot selection.
3. Plot Selection: Probability-weighted according to your quantum state — your reality is truly participatory, and unique, for every observer.
