No-common-cause EPR-like funny business in branching space-times
Reichenbach common cause branching space-times
2008/4/22
There is "no EPR-like funny business" if (contrary to
apparent fact) our world is as indeterministic as you wish,
but is free from the EPR-like quantum-mechanical phenomena
such as is sometimes des...
We introduce the notion of a Minkowskian Branching Structure ("MBS" for short). Then we prove some resultsconcerning the phenomenon of funny business in its finitary and infinitary variants.
The purpose of this paper is to survey the possible topologies of branching space-times, and, in particular, to refute the popular notion in the literature that a branching space-time requires a non-H...
Everettian accounts of quantum mechanics entail that people branch; every possible result of a measurement actually occurs, and I have one successor for each result. Is there room for probability in s...
What Branching Spacetime Might Do for Physics
branching spacetime non-Hausdorff quantum gravity
2008/4/18
In recent years, the branching spacetime (BST) interpretation of quantum mechanics has come under study by a number of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians. This paper points out some implicati...
I investigate the consequences for semantics, and in particular for the semantics of tense, if time is assumed to have a branching structure not out of metaphysical necessity (to solve some philosophi...
EPR-like ``funny business'' in the theory of branching space-times
branching space-times EPR
2008/4/11
EPR-like phenomena are (presumably)indeterministic, but they furthermore suggest thatour world involves seeming-strange ``funnybusiness.'' Without invoking any heavymathematics, the theory of branchi...
Branching histories approach to indeterminism and free will
indeterminism free will branching time
2008/4/10
An informal sketch is offered of some chief ideas of the
(formal) ``branching histories'' theory of objective
possibility, free will and indeterminism. Reference is
made to ``branching time'' and t...
Branching and Uncertainty
Everett many worlds Branching
2008/4/10
Following Lewis, it is widely held that branching worlds differ in important ways from diverging worlds. There is, however, a simple and natural semantics under which ordinary sentences uttered in bra...
``Branching space-time'' is a simple blend of relativity
and indeterminism. Postulates and definitions
rigorously describe the ``causal order'' relation
between possible point events. The key postu...
A branching space-times view on quantum error correction
indeterminism quantum mechanics branching
2008/4/9
In this paper we describe some first steps for bringing the framework of branching space-times to bear on quantum information theory. Our main application is quantum error correction. It is shown that...
