Can quantum computers turn psychohistory true?
The psychohistory is introduced in Isaac Asimov's novel "The Foundation". The idea of this SciFi tool is this. By using Boltzmann's constant and modified formulas that were originally made for predicting the gas molecule's behavior in 3D space in very big entireties is possible to create an AI that can predict a large human group's behavior. The system uses statistics about things like economic situations and historical facts about the human or nation's behavior, and then it compares that data to things that happen just now.
The fact is that this kind of mathematical and psychological-mathematical formula can be a reality quite soon. And the reason for that is quantum computers. Quantum computers can turn many things that were Sci-Fi tales into reality.
In predictions, these types of mathematical formulas can be used to predict the behavior of large groups of humans. In the case of individual humans, there are lots of variables, and that's why we cannot create formulas that can predict the behavior of large human groups. But then we must remember one thing.
Can we someday calculate a single individual's behavior? In that model, there are lots of variables needed. But quantum computers can handle even trillions of variables. And those systems can handle the human brain as a system there could be more axons than stars in the Milky Way. Quantum computer-based AIs can calculate multiple objects at the same time. And that thing is the tool that can make systems that predict individual human behavior.
Our knowledge about the human nervous system increases all the time. Even if there are lots of variables we must remember that things like AI and quantum computers are good to handle multiple variables. And if we someday know precisely how our nervous system works. And what are the purpose and tracks for certain neurotransmitters? It's possible that someday we can predict or calculate individual human behavior.
Quantum computers can handle the brain as the cloud. There are multiple neurotransmitters and neural tracks. The number of those tracks is enormous, but it's limited. AI and quantum computers with highly accurate state-of-the-art scanners are possible, that system uses brain images and create models or simulations about brain and neuron interactions inside the brain.
The system could use modified programs that were developed to simulate the actions in a thundercloud. The neural connections could be lightning routes. And the neuro-transmitter-neuron interactions can be like interactions between water molecules and electrons. The system can use quantum computers to calculate how those neurotransmitters interact. That means, maybe in the future it will be possible to calculate a single person's behavior.
