Dear Dr. Zapatrin,

In your recent "Superpositional Quantum Network Topologies", q-bio.NC/0311016, you and your colleagues wrote: "It should be mentioned that although macroscopic systems are comprised of quantum objects, quantum phenomena in the macroscopic realm are usually invisible due to averaging over a large number of degrees of freedom."

I believe they are invisible because are UNspeakable and non-unitary,

With inanimate devices, such as some hypothetical quantum computer, we can never map the intrinsic quantum dynamics to the Hamiltonian dynamics,

It is the human brain that produces the false impression about some "mapping" of the two realms, quantum and classical,

Trouble is, kids go to school and are taught the following:

"This means that as soon as we make a measurement, the quantum system will decide, with the appropriate probability, which state of the computational basis it wishes to turn to and it will immediately collapse into that basis state."

The excerpt is from "Quantum Computing", by Abbas Edalat, Lecture Notes, Imperial College, Sec. 2.3 Basic Measurement Principle, p. 20.

Then the military guys say WOW!!! (or Uoi!!!, in your language), and poor money into this misunderstanding.

Anyway, if this is too dense for you, I'll be happy to elaborate.
