Is AMERICA quantum ?

Yesterday I became a US citizen. It was an important day, and instead of washing the car by the end of the night, I should have taken half an hour to write the short piece in which I wanted to make a fun reflection about the nature of America and the American Flag.

I will try to do that now, much more quickly and less poetically.

One thing an immigrant never forgets is its Alien Number.

For a long time now, I had obviously already noticed how in the National Anthem, the theme of Rocketry and Cosmology was present and still shining through even in a scenery of War.

But while the anthem was being sang during the naturalization ceremony, I realized when looking at the flag, much of a notion I had been playing with for sometime:

That of the highly Quantum Nature of America; not only because of its many obvious instances of contradictory superposition, or the indetermination and fuzziness of its current state and its many possible futures, and not even because of the inexplicable spooky action at a distance that many 3 letter agencies and other entities seem to have over processes that are supposed to be non-local to them and that conform a central part of the shared collective reality;

But there, looking at the undulating flag, I realized that the Concept of the Nation was pictured as a group of 50 Individual Particles being carried in an undulating, stochastic, and at times chaotic topology… by 13 Waves.

Both a Particle and a Wave.
