Entertaining read about how a ton of processes in nature align with behavior of “quantum annealing,” a type of quantum computing

This article explores the idea that a lot of processes seen in nature might be linked to an underlying phenomena called quantum annealing – it specifically looks at links in physics, cognition, and biology.

It then speculates (albeit wildly), that this process might also result in a reward mechanism that incentivizes the system, aka the universe, to perpetuate itself in the future to maximize reward in the form of a non-zero-sum game.
