t'Hooft is apparently unhappy with the probabilistic "axioms" of quantum
mechanics. How can one sensibly talk about "probability" if a given
experiment can be repeated only a finite number of times - he asks.
So he mentions hidden variable theories and "beables" as possible
ways for a new quantum mechanics.
In EEQT we do not have these problems. The algorithm of EEQT generates
the Universe in "real time". And if "time" is to be avoided, since it
needs to be explained itself, then there is a "Schwinger-Fock" auxiliary
"time' at hand. It may be related to the parameter of the modular group
- as suggested by Connes-Rovelli.
In EEQT the probabilistic interpretation of the ordinary quantum
mechanics can be derived IF the experiment can be repeated infinitely
many time. But EEQT deals with a single system that is aware of its own
state (self-observation). It is self-observation (self-measurement a'la
Wheeler) that generates real "events" and that corresponds to "binamics"
- exchange of bits of information.
Throwing a TV set into a black hole is an EVENT - according to EEQT.
An annihilation operator is applied to the TV set, and TV set is
transformed into another object. The norm of the state becomes
renormalized. A quantum jump happens. And the information about the
event becomes recorded and "known", at least to the readers of spr :-)
