Popis: The photonic scheme provides an abstract perspective to describing chemical and physical processes; it is well adapted for biologically sustained processes too. The scheme is used to help analyze semiclassic pictures in order for a deeper understanding of natural processes to arise. A q-state is not an object (eg, a molecule) but convoluted with a photon field, it hangs somehow on sensitive surfaces revealing an image constructed from q-events: these q-events are joint q-energy and angular momentum bridging probe-to-probing systems. Exchanges between physical states and probing ones establish a reality for a q-state. Thus, in the photonic scheme, a q-state may emerge as an image if appropriately recorded via q-events. Initially collected q-events seem to indicate a random process. However, after gathering these q-events in sufficient numbers, as in a two-slit example, a supportive image develops corresponding more and more to what is known as an interference pattern. Moreover, the unlocking of a spin-triplet state is used to illustrate applications: for instance, the opening required a path starting from a parent spin-singlet excited electronic state. A low-frequency multiphoton mechanism regulated by conservation laws permits the description of a triplet state activation. Of course, the materiality sustaining a q-state must transfer information that is richer than that a classical particle impact would convey. The use we make of quantum mechanics is basically the same that everyone does though without current interpretations; inclusion of photon fields makes the difference by providing quantum mechanisms to accomplish measurements.
