Brent,
Can you elaborate on why qm depends on a continuum?
It assumes linearity, continuous complex valued linear combinations of states and
corresponding continuous values of probabilities. Notice I said "as we've formulated it".
I don't have a proof that it would be impossible to formulate a different, but quantum
like, theory avoiding a continuum.
