Another youth has impaled himself on his bike ad lives only through intensive care. From carefree (and careless) youth to careful old age. The aim of the education system is to instill carefulness at an early age in order to

keep the error rate in the social system down.
In the technical domain we consider only error and how to reduce and correct it. So we can do much to improve heath by keeping our water supply clean. The attribution of blame and guilt must be done by peers because it is too complex to judge technically, although technical means provide evidence for judgment: what was the internal state of X when s/he performed this act?
It takes two to communicate, a bra < | and a ket | > . Dirac
Feynman III 12-3 'There is no general rule for writing down the Hamiltonian of an atomic system, and finding the right formula is much more of an art than finding a set of basis states". Feynman
The symmetric Universe wants to be the constant energy basis of the Universe. The eigenvalue equation for energy assigns an energy to certain ordered sets (functions, eigenvectors), in other words it assigns an energy to a form (a potential energy) which becomes manifest when (non-degenerate) forms or states are 'occupied' or 'vacated' [created or annihilated] with the emission or absorption of energy. This is Landauer again. Landauer, Robert W Keyes
Because quantum mechanics is complexity invariant, we can say all we want to say with two state systems, The extrapolation is ultimately of computation and constrained by the boundaries of computation.

Phase is never constant, [except where there is no energy, ie no reality, ie pure form] counting increasingly like time, but relative phase may be constant or vary much more slowly than the underlying phases, and it is here that we find the structure of the Universe. So constant energy conveys no information,
Feynman 11-4: 'It is sometimes said that to each quantity in classical physics there corresponds a matrix in quantum mechanics. It is really more correct to say that the Hamiltonian matrix corresponds to the energy, and any quantity that can be defined via energy has a corresponding matrix'. [and this is network traffic]
Each state is a map (function) describing a moment in the evolution of a system [in terms of a set of 'known' or 'assumed' base states], and we may put all the maps together to build an atlas (history) of the evolution of the state.
Quantum Hamiltonian mechanics is mathematical machinery for determining the time rate (time probability) of communication in the channels defined by the Hamiltonian matrix, ie how much communication [traffic] is there between i and j ?
Feynman 11-9: 'All systems of two states can be made analogous to a spin one-half object precessing in a magnetic field.

Energy = camera speed
momentum = camera resolution.
Energy varies as the square of momentum.
