But consistent history depends on the choice of framework. We cannot say that the microscopic angular momentum obtains some value, period. Instead, we say that the microscopic angular momentum obtains some value in one framework, and does not obtain any value in another framework. Different frameworks, in my understanding, are just different modes of thinking. In this sense the CH interpretation is not one interpretation, but a large class of interpretations. Each framework can be thought of as another interpretation. The frameworks do not exist out there in nature itself, without physicists who apply them as their way of thinking. Does it make sense to you?Morbert said:a microscopic system's angular momentum obtaining some value, even if no measurement is made.
Consistent histories seems to better capture convention here
