THE QUANTUM PARADIGM OF THE WORD: A NEW MODEL OF CREATION, MEANING, AND INFLUENCE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the shortcomings of classical linguistic theories in explaining phenomena such as word creation, meaning formation, and influence, and to propose a unified model based on the principles of quantum physics as an alternative. The research has revealed that while cognitive, generative, and usagebased theories are useful in explaining the mechanical and social aspects of the word, they cannot explain its enigmatic aspects such as creativity, meaning collapse (decoherence), and non-local influence. The proposed "Quantum Paradigm of the Word" model interprets the word as a quantum information packet with meaning encoded at a fundamental level. This model consists of four main stages: (1) Potential in the Quantum Information Field (the probability cloud of an abstract idea), (2) Creative Collapse and Encoding (Fuzuli's moment of "creation from non-existence"), (3) Energy Transmission (the physical carrier as sound), and (4) Reception and Re-Collapse (meaning formation in the listener). The research determined that quantum principles (superposition, collapse, entanglement) show remarkable parallels with the phenomenon of the word. The model explains the physiological effect of words (blessing/curse) as the energetic intervention of the information packet into a biological system, and the impact of artistry as a coherent flow of information. Cases of non-local influence, such as "speaking behind one's back," can be explained within the framework of semantic entanglement or social network effects. In conclusion, the quantum paradigm expands our understanding of the ontology of the word, presenting it not merely as a social convention but also as a fundamental phenomenon operating in accordance with the basic energy-information principles of the universe. The model creates a new platform for dialogue between scientific thought and metaphysical concepts and offers prospects for future transdisciplinary research.
