Abstract

Although quantum mechanics in third person descriptions is certainly legitimate insofar as one is sure about what each energy quantum is all about, quantum mechanics in first person descriptions comes to the surface once one raises the issue of how each quantum transforms itself as measuring and interacting with the others of the similar nature. Each energy quantum is taken as the robust confinement of interactions, whose first person descriptions address the quantum involved in the process of measuring other quanta internally. In addition, the issue of how the robust confinement of interactions could come into being and develop is a matter of quantum mechanics in second person descriptions. Biological activities including cell motility and muscle contraction address the issue of quantum coherence accessible in quantum mechanics in second person descriptions.
