Measurements are ‘Actual Selections’

  • Actual measurements are selections of alternate histories

    • Unphysical alternatives actually removed by some (undiscovered) dynamical process.
    • This sets to zero any residual coherence between nearly-decoherent histories, if a branch disappears.
  • Different alternatives ui often summarised by an operator A of which they are distinct eigenfunctions: Aui = ?i ui, and labeled by some eigenvalues ?i .
