I'm not sure if what the author calls "Many-Worlds variant of CH" is distinct from Many-Worlds, where choice of "history space" is a... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.Honestly, I find this description unnecessarily ambiguous. And assuming you had used clearer language, would different CH proponents...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.Well, you can tell a story where the system has ... You can also tell another story, consistent with itself and measurement results, but...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.The path is a possible consistent story. But it is not the only possible story. In this sense, it is not physically real. But it is more...

yea I’m having a tough time trying to comprehend what the formalism is saying. Are the coarse grained descriptions supposed to be the... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.The formalism offers a way to have coarse grained descriptions and their compatible refinements. You are supposed to use those coarse...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.Are you aware that CH also has a formalism? Is your tough time related to that formalism? Or more to boiling down CH to „some essence“...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Consistent histories -- particle positions prior to measurement.At least CH does not reject this statement, if you limit the meaning of „trajectory“ to suitably coarse grained descriptions.
