Let me see if I can focus on what topic exactly you are referring to. (02)
You mention quantum world and macro/micro. Do you mean to imply that
micro=quantum-scale, and that at that scale, the world is not
self-consistent? If so, do you mean by this, that quantum theory is
not self-consistent, or that the world as described by quantum theory
is not self-consistent? I don't think that either of these are true.
The "quantum world" is indeed what one might call macro-peculiar, in
that it obeys very different physical rules from the macro-world's
physics; but it is not in any sense inconsistent. One can indeed
acquire, with some effort, a quantum-theoretic physical intuition. (03)
You also refer to the micro level as 'ever changing', which is indeed
true but also seems to be true at the macro level, so I wonder why
you bring it up? (04)
Finally, you say that micro level is "influenced by a non-logical
mind". What mind are you referring to here, and why is it non-logical? (05)
