I don't know whether Coleman's position contains something original, but there is something else that I find problematic. Coleman first...

From what I read, this paper seems to imply some serious ambiguities in Barandes' work about what indivisibility actually mean, and when...

Think then of normative probability as the stochastic constraint of a predictive encoder. It not necessarily describing the correct...

He would know the frequencies, but the question is whether those frequencies would be describable by some regular lawlike expression...

I feel like there can't be a fact of the matter if Barandes' formalism doesn't tell you how to construct trajectories. Saying they're...

A new paper (arxiv:2602.23491) seems relevant to the issues we're discussing here. Given its length, I need to reread it to draw...

Here is a nice explanation of the PBR theorem by Maudlin: He only acknowledges the assumption of statistical independence, so you...

No, all physically meaningful probabilities. If you have a probability describing a physical system that is not approximated...

You might find this Curt Jaimungal episode interesting: Well I think all probabilities bottom-out this way. Probabilities just won't...

Yes, you could see laws like this; I would say that from the perspective of the omniscient observer, he could codify laws about all the...

No, my objection is not against randomness in general. The indivisible interpretation implies there are definite configurations for a...

Yes, that's the paper. Sure, I think the stcohastic-quantum correspondence is a valid way to argue that the quantum state is not...

In conventional paradigm, the physical dynamical law is essentially encoded in "just" differential equations. I think this can maybe be...

This is just my thoughts on the new Barandes papers. Regarding Barandes' Pilot-Wave-As-Hidden-Markov-Models paper, I feel like...

My issue here is the lack of a simple example, outside of quantum mechanics. Just because you can go from one picture to another it...
