Of course, like Bohm, you can assume that there are particles, and conspiratorial potential, but that looks like Ptolemeaus epicycles, and worst, they prevent the computationalist theory of consciousness to apply. Scientists don't do that. Only blind believers do.

Bohmian mechanics is just pure Schrödinger wave equation -- simply interpreted in a slightly different way from Everett. In fact, it is generally recognized that Bohmian mechanics is equivalent to a many worlds interpretation. (Another illustration of the fact that non- locality is inherent in QM -- not even Everett avoids non-locality.)


Bohm = Everett + an infinity of zombies with spooky non-local telepathy.

Everett get rid of the zombies and of the telepathy by extracting the possible talks from the formalism applied democratically to every body.

Only problem: he uses computationalism, so his task is just not finished, the wave itself must be derived from self-reference/computer- science/number-theory. It works, and we get trace of a core symmetrical object, which suggests a shape for the hamiltonian.

Why would not the material appearances have an explanation/reason simpler that "It exists".
