Memory is conceptualized as inequivalent representations of vacuum states in many-particle systems [1], where the dissipation of these vacuum states creates a form of temporally limited memory [2] and [3].

claimDissipation leads to finite lifetimes of vacuum states, representing temporally limited memory, and generates a genuine arrow of time for the system while inducing entanglement with the environment (Alfinito and Vitiello 2000; Alfinito et al. 2001).
referenceRicciardi and Umezawa (1967) proposed using the formalism of quantum field theory to describe brain states, specifically focusing on memory as inequivalent representations of vacuum states in many-particle systems.
