I think of it as something like "scale weighted abstractions". Quantum physics still matters on a human scale, just much much less than classical physics. Similarly, chess on silicon is massively more influenced by the information processing strategies than by the minor differences in silicon architecture. I believe there are entirely other types of computing structures. Our optimization of one type of information processor doesn't mean the others aren't good, or could be a superior strategy in the long run. It just means under the conditions which selected the initial winner, this one succeeded, and the following optimizations mean we'll keep exploiting this path until stopped. If the details are abstracted away, I wonder where the abstractions are leaky. Are there certain areas of existence (perhaps consciousness?) at the human plane where quantum effects dominate?
