Some years ago Wolff's ideas came up. I judged largely that one should not put a whole lot of stock in them. He has these ideas about incoming and outgoing waves with every event in the universe or some such thing. As for these being useful physics there is not a lot there. With every decoherent event or a measurement this happens. Below is a path integration diagram which illustrates how a summation of all possible histories of a decoherence on some set of paths is equal to the whole. This might be similar to Wolff's ideas, but expressed in more rigorous terms. Mach's principle is a guiding idea that motivated Einstein. In a sense the mass-energy “out there” generates curvature of spacetime that influences mass-energy “here.” So the idea has a bit of relevance. However, the full idea of matter everywhere establishing inertial locally has not really materialized. There is no general principle whereby a local timelike direction can be parallel translated everywhere in general spacetime manifolds. Since mass-energy is the generator of time translations, energy or mass-energy it is then not possible to formulate a principle quite in the form that Ernst Mach may have envisioned.
