Your text is from Zurek.

Errrrr. I don't know what to say.

Do you actually read references?

It isn't of course - but that you would confidently say it is, is to say the least, rather a concern.

I think I will take my leave of this thread - there is really no more to say anyway.

Thanks
Bill

Don't worry. I know the book is not authored by Zurek, I was referring to the text pages you highlighted, they refer to the concept of einselection, that comes from Zurek.
Nevermind, it is obvious you don't want to discuss physics.

It's as I said - position eigenstates. Why didn't you note the key word I said before eigenstate?

The problem is you have got the cart before the horse. /QUOTE]
The problem is that you are somewhat pedantic.
I read and met Ballentine about 25 years ago. I subscribe to his approach to quantum mechanics.
Yet, you can axiomatize QM all you want, it is not the same as understanding it.
And, imo a no-brainer, a wave function requires a wave equation.
Get out of that box.
