Morbert's latest activity
-
Morbert replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The divisible subsystem transition map prevents the configuration of the subsystem from jumping across quasiclassical branches. The... -
Morbert replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The divisible transition map of quasiclassical subsystems are near exact. This means they will effectively never fail. You would need to... -
Morbert replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.No continuity is assumed in this formalism. The near exactness of the divisible dynamics is enough to prevent jumping. -
Morbert replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.The transition maps across division events will prevent jumping. -
Morbert replied to the thread Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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 Graduate 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...
