The reason I included Gleason's theorem in the dynamics was the following. Wallace writes as a response to "What makes the pertubations that are small in Hilber-space norm 'slight', if it's not the probability interpretation of them": "Small changes in the energy eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian...

Thank you for your replies. Let's see if I understand this correctly. By Gleason's theorem there can be no other probability measure than the Born rule over a Hilbert space of dimension 3 or greater. Thus if I want to interpret the improper mixed state from decoherence probabilistically I...

Lately I have been interested in the many-worlds interpretation, and in particular the way it is described by Wallace in his latest book The Emergent Multiverse. In the book he tries (or succeeds) to derive the Born rule from unitary dynamics by using game-theoretic arguments. But for this he...

@Evo, I didn't think it would be against the rules, since this is the general discussion forum, but apparently I was wrong. @zoobyshoe The point was not about whether or not you have free will, but about getting the argument across. Anyhow, I am already starting to regret having opened this...

Hi jedishrfu, I understand that. I registered here for the physics discussions, but this was something that popped into my mind and that's why I put it in the General Discussion forum. I hope that's fine. I agree one should be careful not to speak with authority about areas outside of your...

I thought I'd let my first post be a non-physics one. It's a long one, sorry for that ;). I wonder how often you guys run into heated arguments with non-phycists. I sometimes get a bit annoyed when another person is unable to follow my arguments. For example some time ago I had a...
