What is a Quantum?
Simply put it is a discrete small packet of something, originally used for photons.
It is a small quantity of something that has to be this size and not some other size.
From Wiki :-
"In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction."
But I use it to mean the minimum of any quantity of anything that can not be subdivided without destroying its meaning, it does not have to be involved in an interaction.
Eg. The quantum of a pack or deck of cards is the card itself. You can not subdivide or add anything to the card or take any part of it away without destroying the card.
Eg. The quantum of a packet of sugar would be one molecule of sugar, you can not subdivide the molecule of sugar and still retain the status that it is sugar, in a less stringent way the grain of sugar could also be considered the quantum, although technically you can have different size grains you would not normally start to break or subdivide grains, so if you were just measuring this sugar you could not pour a part grain into a container, it would either be an extra grain or none.
You can have Abstract quanta. Eg. If you subdivided a 2D plane with a grid, then you could have one square as the quantum of that area, or a cube in a 3D Euclidean space.
Technically you can have any size Abstract quantum space, but in my model of the Universe there is a minimum space that is required to contain something that is 'Real'.
This is why I say 'Real' space is quantised.
It also has a structure that is not cubic.
It is also dynamic.
I call the minimum 'Real' space quantum the 'APE'.
