Morbert's latest activity
-
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The transition maps across division events will prevent jumping. -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.We can derive the subsystem transition map from the larger unistochastic system a la section 3.7 in Barandes's paper. We can say it... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.Both transition maps are nomologically valid for their purposes, and while the universe contains subsystems, this does not mean the... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.In Barandes's formalism, interference terms in a quantum state encode the indivisibility of a stochastic process. From his... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The collapse postulate is motivated by the fact that, for all practical purposes, the statistics of a quantum system + pointer degrees... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.@Sambuco your case 2 is the relevant one. But The transition matrix nearly exactly reflects the dynamics of the particle + apparatus... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.It would only be equivalent to the collapse postulate if it was claimed that the transition matrix ##p(z_i\omega_i, t | z_j\omega_j,t')... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.Barandes's formalism is an effective collapse formalism, which means the transition matrix ##\Gamma(t\leftarrow 0) = \Gamma(t\leftarrow... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The near exactness of divisibility, analogous to the near exactness of decoherence, means that for a toy system I described previously... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.For a subsystem constantly interacting with its environment, the stochastic dynamics will be divisible. They can be defined in terms of... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.This timestamp might be of interest, where he discusses dynamics of subsystems vs the entire universe. -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.See section 3.7 here. Transition maps are the entirety of dynamics in this formalism, and system-environment dynamics (equation 44) give... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.It's quite simple: Transition probabilities, not standalone probabilities, make up the nomological content of the reformulation. No... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.It is the case in Barandes's formalism. Consider for example a simple model of the Stern-Gerlach Experiment with initial particle... -
Morbert replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.At the timestamp, Barandes remarks on the distinction between standalone probabilities and transition probabilities, the latter of which...
