But this throws away relativity, since the QFT Schrodinger equation forces you to pick a particular frame, which makes your definition... -

Of course. But that doesn't mean the mathematical objects are reality. Nor does it mean that the mapping in question has to be simple... -

But you're claiming more than that: Ok so far, but... ...this is an additional claim which, as I've already said, is not implied by... -

I would say QFT also treats waves as derived--they're coherent states, just as particles are Fock states. The fundamental entities in... -

Quantum fields aren't waves, they're operators. So I don't think "fields as fundamental" is the same thing as "wave-realist". -

This arxiv-document is based on Mermin's "Light Rectangles", where the area of causal-diamonds is proportional to the square-interval... -

Ppines-demon replied to the thread It's been half a century - Why am I still warring with my printer?.I strongly believe printer companies do not sell printers or software for printers, they sell ink. Printers are relatively cheap now...

Haha.
I give up. Time to buy a new printer. Never mind when the ink runs out, I just but a new one whenever the network connection stops... -

Informative.
For those interested in how Schrodinger originally derived his famous equation and why it eventually gave the correct answer (after some... -
Ppines-demon replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.More like Barandes interpretation does not want to define its properties in terms of usual entanglement terminology. I still don’t know...
