In physics it's a fact the rules of quantum level don't apply at ours, whatever the correct term for it is. I'm not into physics, but a PhD in the field once said it's the most important thing a layman has to remember about that stuff.

Furthermore, there's always the "observer's paradox", even if you are just listening to how a person says a word--you're interefering and thus having an effect to the result.

I'm not saying anything about a god.

The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. A more everyday example: I'm using a computer right now. If I only had the components of it, I wouldn't be writing this.

I won't say anything about transcending either, but I've always taken the fact of a type being more than a sum of its traits as an axiom.

"Personality Types can be viewed as quantum entities."

If you told that to a scientist, s/he would start crying.
