It is a most deep-seated intuition that the world simply is, or that it's the realm of the sheer being of things. Thus, with Hamlet, it also intuitively makes sense to wonder, even regarding man as a being in the world, whether to be, or not to be. But modern Quantum Mechanics, against all intuition, has found that in the sub-atomic world there are no things as particles or waves, but their superposition as fundamental states; that is, as though they were statements about particles and waves. Is this a derailment from good common sense?

More generally, things are intuitively seen as finite or discrete, hence presupposing the in-finite or continuous. But nothing is absolutely discrete or absolutely continuous. Or nothing is absolutely in-divisible, or else absolutely divisible. For example, cells are made up of molecules, and molecules of atoms, and atoms of sub-atomic wave/particles. Every thing can thus be seen as a harmonious unity of its fundamental principles, from which it's integrated, and into which it dis-integrates. There's the state of unity, or being one discrete thing; and the state of wholeness, or being a whole continuum of divisible principles. In sum, one and whole are the ultimate states of the world, and their superposition, what the world really is. And these are therein statements about things, as though the world were, not only being, but the mirror of being. In classical terms, the world is really a cosmic mind, and thereby even capable of thinking itself as a universal mind. Actually, if the world were just being, how, or why, there's ultimately a universal mind in it, e.g. like the mind of man?

On the other hand, if the world can think itself then it can completely mirror, or know, itself. Or the question of how or why the world is, is completely answerable by the world itself as a universal mind. Needless to say, and by quoting Nietzsche, the death of God, and then even the ultimate meaning of man as a universal mind, are at stake with the question of complementarity. Is it then really the ultimate principle of the world?
