Brent,
You are implying there is some difficulty in calculating specific decoherence results
yet the people who are performing experiments in decoherence have no such problem in
calculating them with no reference at all to either of your interpretations or choosing
between them... The math works just fine in our single world and produces predictable
results...
But it produces probabilities. And the experiments confirm that the measured values are
random with the distribution predicted. But each measurement only produces one of the
probable values. So the question is how do you get from the probabilities, which is what
QM+decoherence predicts, to actual realized unique values? Omnes just says what do you
expect QM is a probabilistic theory. Everett says they all happen every time with
different values and we 'happen' every time as observers with correlated experiences.
What do you say?
