Like.
I agree, I don't see anything in chapter 8 of Albert's book that corresponds to Coleman's argument. So I suppose it is due to Coleman... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.I finished browsing Albert's "Quantum Mechanics and Experience" book, and studying its last chapter "8. Self-Measurement", where his...

It is a sufficient condition (for possibly discontinuous trajectories) but you can't get this out of the thoery. You have to import it...

Sure, but the supposed philosopical contribution of the indivisible approach is compromised because you can't say it implies any novel...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.iste is talking about Barandes' formalism. In your example, Barandes talks about the normal Hilbert space formalism of QM. This doesn't...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.I guess, the biggest contribution of Barandes' "interpretation" is that it shows just how difficult it is to convincingly "disprove" an...

gentzen reacted to iste's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
I disagree. I think its throughout his lectures; interviews; and papers, his interpretation and the formalism are put in one box and a...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.I remember that he recently switched to a new attack on BM: The local phase of the wavefunction is a gauge freedom, but the actual BM...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.But Barandes attacks MWI as untenable, so this can't be an excuse for him. I would have to lookup the detailed reasons for Barandes'...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Exactly, that is the impression I got.

If M annihilstes it, it means that it takes it to the zero vector. So L is applied to the zero vector and returns the zero vector.

Zero, the number, times any vector gives the zero vector. Think of any specific vector space, say ##\mathbb R^3##, then ##0\cdot(a, b...

But it is irrelevant for this thread!

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Thanks for trying to drive this forward to closure. Your "more general version of your argument" nicely captures the reasons why...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.For "my fixed version of" Demystifier's simplified scenario, L was defined as The "more mundane measurement operators" would just...
