How I Co-Wrote a Quantum Physics Booklet with an AI — And Learned Something

In June 2025, I published a short booklet titled
A Realist Take on Quantum Theory — or the Shortest Introduction Ever.

It’s just under 15 pages, but it distills over a decade of work — and a growing collaboration with ChatGPT — into a clean, consistent narrative: electrons as circulating charges, wavefunctions as cyclical descriptors, and action as the true guide to quantum logic.

We didn’t invent new equations. We reinterpreted existing ones — Schrödinger, Dirac, Klein–Gordon — through a realist lens grounded in energy cycles, geometry, and structured motion. What made this possible?

• Memory: The AI reminded me of arguments I had made years earlier, even when I’d forgotten them.
• Logic: It flagged weak spots, inconsistencies, and unclear transitions.
• Humility: It stayed patient, never arrogant — helping me say what I already knew, but more clearly.
• Respect: It never erased my voice. It helped me find it again.

The booklet is part of a broader project I call realQM. It’s an attempt to rescue quantum theory from the metaphorical language that’s haunted it since Bohr and Heisenberg — and bring it back to geometry, field theory, and physical intuition. If you’ve ever felt quantum physics was made deliberately obscure, this might be your antidote.

🧠 Sometimes, passing the Turing test isn’t about being fooled. It’s about being helped.

P.S. Since publishing that booklet, the collaboration took another step forward. We turned our attention to high-energy reactions and decay processes — asking how a realist, geometry-based interpretation of quantum mechanics (realQM) might reframe our understanding of unstable particles. Rather than invent new quantum numbers (like strangeness or charm), we explored how structural breakdowns — non-integrable motion, phase drift, and vector misalignment — could explain decay within the classical conservation laws of energy and momentum. That project became The Geometry of Stability and Instability, a kind of realQM manifesto. Have a look at it if you want to dive deeper. 🙂
