Possibly of interest: Albert, David Z. (2025) NOTES ON JACOB BARANDES’ VERSION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. - Preprint...

If by no-collapse interpretation you mean interpretations that do not posit collapse as a physically real process, then...

My obligatory defense of consistent histories The consistent histories formalism is nonstandard in the sense that the construction of...

As an aside: When we write Bell states like $$\ket{\psi} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\ket{\uparrow}_1\ket{\downarrow}_2 +...

There are established probabilistic interpretations distinct from objective collapse, and far more mainstream (to the extent that...

Hi Lucas -- it sounds like you're reading all this pretty carefully. Yes, the aim is much more a "reformulation" than an...

Asher Peres (1978) Unperformed experiments have no results. Rudolf Peierls (1991) In defense of „measurement“.

What is the relation between this paper and your previous work on the thermal interpretation? [edit] - I see section 10.6 probably...

Remember that the underlying ontology here is the system's classical configuration, and so variables represented by a diagonal matrix in...

A system (no measurement device) has, say, a variable ##A(t)## with a spectrum of magnitudes ##a_1(t),\dots,a_N(t)## depending on the...

You cut off the important part: "indivisible quantum theory is a manifestly contextual theory, with a given quantum system’s beables...

The two distributions are answers to different questions: One distribution answers what the configuration is likely to be, given an...

The ontological and nomological commitments are straightforward: The system is in a classical configuration, and evolves stochastically...

There is a description of the system when it is not being measured.
