Consistent Histories is the most logical. Here you have Many worlds.. and factorization defaults (collapse) to one world dictated by the consistent histories with temporal reversibility in the histories backtracking.

Can't it also create all the constants of nature.. the consistent histories produce the right constants all the way to the big bang. This can solve the fine tuning, hierarchy problems, and others.

What do you think is the problem with Consistent Histories, if there is any?

All "interpretations" and "approaches" provide a narrative for all the observed phenomena. What counts as "most logical" depends on personal taste.
Coming up with logical frameworks like this is not the problem - it's coming up with an empirical way to choose one over another.
For issues with "consistent histories" you could try starting with:

Simon is correct.

Consistent Histories is a nice interpretation but for me its like defining your way out of problems. For example don't like the observation problem - then don't have observations - instead you have a theory about histories.

Thanks

This post is a spin-off of the original post that discussed Barandes theory, A new realistic stochastic interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, for any details about the interpretation in general PLEASE look up for an answer there. Now I want this post to focus on this pre-print: J. A. Barandes, "New Prospects for a Causally Local Formulation of Quantum Theory", arXiv 2402.16935 (2024) My main concerns are that Barandes thinks this deflates the anti-classical Bell's theorem. In Barandes...
I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
