The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing).

Only then could you be accepted to train in five years of silence but you still could not actually see Pythagoras yet. After five years then you were allowed to speak to Pythagoras but still only from behind a veil with him hidden.

It’s kind of the other way around. Time creates gravity. In the model we call general relativity, there is a gadget called the metric that measures both times and distances. In the vicinity of the earth, say, it is well approximated by taking it to be static, and spatially constant. That means that the time coefficient varies with altitude. It is this variation that governs motion in gravity.
A simple thought experiment shows that the conservation of energy requires this. You let a particle antiparticle pair fall, picking up energy. You let them pair annihilate, into photons, traveling back to where they started. If they are at the same frequency above as they were below, then when you convert them back into particles, you have created mass, since m=E/c2=hν/c2.
It’s intriguing to note that while a quantum theory of gravity remains elusive, the foundational quantum relationship E=hν is at the heart of this argument.
Notice also how this argument fails for the electric field, because of conservation of charge. If both particles are neutral they won’t respond to the field, while if one is charged the other must be oppositely charged and so move in opposite directions.
Time and mass are coupled, a situation commonly described as mass causing curvature in time.

Converting phonon heat into electrical power via nonlocal virtual asymmetric resonance! So the heat current is converted to a charge current. you get electron phase accumulation then as energy increase.
Carnot efficiency is the maximum theoretical efficiency any heat engine can achieve operating between two temperatures, given by \(\eta_{C} = 1 - T_{c}/T_{h}\) (\(T_{c}\)=cold, \(T_{h}\)=hot in Kelvin). It represents a perfectly reversible cycle where no energy is wasted, setting the benchmark limit for real-world engines, which typically only reach about 70% of this maximum
Charge is not conserved. Electrons go one direction and holes go the opposite direction. The left-right symmetry has to be broken to create a circulating current. The heat is perpendicular to the current so the heat can be separated between the hole and electron current....heat can be extracted or current extract.

recognizing that the measurement process itself plays an active role in localizing the particle in the classically forbidden virtual state...the measurement process not only extracts information but also injects energy into the system, effectively enabling the particle to transiently occupy the virtual state. ... the virtual state is indeed populated during tunneling. If it were not so, there would be no interaction between the electrons in the TQD and the QPC, and ρCC wouldn’t be affected. Note that the energy needed to populate C is provided by the measurement device, since the measurement operator, ˆLγ , does not commute with ˆHTQD....measurements can fundamentally alter the presence of an electron in the virtual state, offering a deeper insight into the role of observation in understanding the virtual states.
we investigate the interplay between virtual transitions and measurement back-action, proposing an experiment based on a triple quantum dot system under the continuous measurement of a highly-detuned central dot.
The quantum dot is switching the gates...

When the central dot is strongly detuned from the two external ones, hopping between left and right dots (fed by two electronic reservoirs) occurs via virtual tunneling transitions [31–
39].
By continuously monitoring the central quantum dot, virtual tunneling events are converted into real occupations, enabling two key functionalities: (i) thermodynamic operations, including power generation, refrigeration, and hybrid energy conversion, and (ii) quantum state purification, where noise from the detector stabilizes the system into a dark state.

the trajectories exhibit quantum jumps between the dynamically stabilized regions of local oscillations around the eigenstates. Since these transitions are otherwise forbidden, this is a measurement-induced tunneling effect and is closely related to that recently predicted for tunneling through a triple quantum dot (Singh et al., 2025). The short-time behavior clearly shows the localized oscillations being perturbed by the measurement.

Moreover, there is the possibility of several non-commuting operators of the system to couple to multiple baths, which can lead to significantly increased system-bath entanglement [246]. The exploration of non-commuting coupling operators is still in its infancy, and bridges to non-Abelian thermal states (NATSs) discussed in section 17

Our approach creates an effective Hamiltonian that reveals the cooperative effect of the baths on the system

In these setups the electron-hole symmetry is broken by the kinetic phase accumulated between the junctions connecting the ring to the differ-
ent terminals [248, 249], with broken time-reversal symmetry introducing the mirror asymmetry (via the non
reciprocity of the transmission probabilities Tij (B)̸ =Tji(B)) needed for the thermocouple effect, even if the geometric configuration of the system is symmetric and energy-independent [164]. To see this, consider a symmetric ring with all three terminals equally separated by one third of the ring perimeter, so we have T⟳(ϕ) = T12(Φ) = T23(Φ) = T31(Φ).
nonlocal thermoelectrics mediated by interactions
Phonon assisted tunneling between two quantum dots provides the energy, ℏωp ≈ εR − εL ≫ λ to
overcome an energy gap, where λ is the interdot coupling, and Γ are the tunneling rates for coupling with the reservoirs. The splitting of the quantum dot levels introduce all the required broken symmetries naturally.
the two transitions in the source
dot, g, perform the detection (of the charge in s), feed-
back (the charge in g affecting the tunneling rates in the
conductor) and information erasure (restoring the ini-
tial state) mechanisms of an autonomous Maxwell de-
mon. This is most clearly evidenced in the equivalent
case where the nonlocal thermoelectric response is due to
coupling to a colder source [118], where the sequence is
reversed: (n1, n2) = (0, 0) → (0, 1) → (1, 1) → (1, 0) →
(0, 0). The cold dot, g, is occupied until an electron enters
s, when it absorbs the energy U to overcome the electro-
chemical potential μg and tunnel out (detection). This
changes the rates in the system (backaction) allowing the
electron to tunnel out and restores the initial state (re-
set). In this case, U is transferred from s to g, increasing
the entropy of the gate.
Differently from what one expects from a Maxwell de-
mon though, a three terminal configuration cannot re-
duce the entropy of the conductor by, e.g., generating
power, without changing its energy: a finite JH̸ = 0
is necessarily exchanged via the electron-electron inter-
action in the quantum dots, see Eq. (16). References

Noncommuting charges
charges’ noncommutation can change entanglement entropy and thermodynamic-entropy
production. As a quantum many-body system thermalizes internally, its constituent particles entangle.
To pinpoint how charges’ noncommutation affects entanglement, researchers built two models [296].
Each is a one-dimensional chain of two-qubit sites. The models parallel each other, such as by having
the same number of charges, which have the same eigenvalues. However, one model’s charges commute,
and the other model’s do not. The noncommuting-charge model achieved a greater average bipartite
entanglement entropy than its counterpart. However, charges’ noncommutation can decrease average
thermodynamic entropy production, which quantifies irreversibility

the nanostructure acts as a filter to break electron-hole symmetry....this dependence also breaks
inversion (left-right) symmetry, i.e., TLH (E)̸ = cTRH (E),
with c a positive number. ...symmetry breaking must
be a property of the conductor,
the three-terminal scat-
tering matrix (composed of the barrier and the tip) suf-
ficient to break the electron-hole symmetry [242]. Mean-
while, the inversion symmetry is broken geometrically by
the position of the tip with respect to the barrier.
When quantum interference is the only responsible of the electron-hole energy
breaking, the nonlocal thermoelectric effect is indeed af-
fected by dephasing
therefore Tp − T
breaks the detail balance of the phonon-assisted tunnel-
ing transition. This mechanism enables the direct elec-
tric current, which can be controlled by gating the quan-
tum dot levels
nonlocal thermoelectric converters have been pro-
posed based on this effect in a variety of setups, including
molecules [125, 142, 167, 168], quantum dots [167, 313]
or suspended wires [145, 168, 239, 314]. In multiterminal
(two electronic, two phononic) configurations, interest-
ing connections between phonon drag and pumping have
been suggested [188].
introducing virtual probes to the problem, where electrons propagating
along the conductor can be absorbed and reinjected,
electrons in the two dots where the interacting state (1, 1) is only virtually occupied [137, 138, 299] become important. In this regime,
the energy filtering introduced by the discreteness of the
quantum dot levels becomes broader, which can help to
improve the amount of generated power [137].
Rafael Sánchez - Quantum thermoelectrics
Electrons in a conductor react not only to voltage but also to temperature gradients. In their motion, they carry electric charge as well as energy. This makes it possible to think of devices that are absorb excess heat from their environment and convert it into useful power. This can be done in three terminal devices: Two terminals support the charge current with the third one serving as the heat source, enabling the separation of charge and heat flows. Mesoscopic (nanoscale) systems are good candidates for this, because of their high degree of tunability and rich variety of different effects that allow for the mechanism of heat to power conversion: Coulomb interactions [1], resonant tunneling [2], entanglement [3], quantum interference, or the absence of thermalization [4].

In recent years writer Gordon Thomas has suggested that Sargant's experiments with deep sleep treatment were part of British involvement with the CIA MKULTRA programme into mind control.[40] Donald Ewen Cameron was experimenting along similar lines in Canada, and it later emerged that his work was in part funded by the CIA.[41] Cameron often sought Sargant's advice and on one occasion Sargant sent Cameron a note saying: "Whatever you manage in this field, I thought of it first".[42] Books about Cameron's experiments have commented on links between the two psychiatrists.[43] Although Sargant acted as a consultant for MI5, no evidence has emerged that his work with deep sleep treatment at St Thomas' hospital had any links with intelligence services.[44][45][46]
