This sounds almost tautological. I have not read Masanes' paper, but he seems to be saying the Born rule is a matter of pure logic. In some ways that is what Born said. The Born rule is not hard to understand. If you have a state space with vectors |u_i> then a quantum state can be written as

Two fascinating (and very different) approaches are presented to derive Quantim Mechanics main practical tool (e.g. Born's rule). Wonder what some of the physicists on here think about this research? I find the argument that no laws is the fundamental law... and that the universe and its laws
