downvote reasoning: this post is very weak on math. the relationships may be real, and the philosophy may hold up, but philosophy is generally much stronger when it uses math for everything it can, and resorts to english only for the as-yet-unbound mathematical concepts. As far as I can tell from wikipedia, the concept of a rhizome as generalized to philosophy (originally the word came from botany) is “simply” referring to the hypothesis (very well established even without any quantum stuff) that all things affect all other things eventually. Which, like, mostly yep, the causal network is tightly connected, the world is a complex adaptive (dynamical) system, etc. Sure, quantum makes that even weirder than classical, but it’s not really deeply connected to the additional behaviors that only occur at low temperatures and physical scales—it’s mostly just a hell of a lot of apparently-classical interaction.
