Is it not that the "adds information" that you mention, it's like sampling a probability distribution? Of course, then your program, the universe, it's not deterministic anymore (but I think that it's already the case when quantum physics is involved).
So, your lazy function, don't do anything until is required and then it returns a sample from a probability mass function (not a pdf because we are talking quantum here).
- cma 9y agoNo. See the Kochen-Specker theorem. You can choose which way to measure in ways that sort of interact with one another statistically even after two particles are far separated.
