A Foundation Theory of Quantum Mechanics
The nRules are empirical regularities that were discovered in macroscopic situations where the outcome is known. When they are projected theoretically into the microscopic domain they predict a novel ontology including the frequent collapse of an atomic wave function, thereby defining an nRule based foundation theory. Future experiments can potentially discriminate between this and other founda...
متن کاملA topos for algebraic quantum theory
ing frames O (X ) coming from a topological space to general frames is a genuine generalization of the concept of a space, as plenty of frames exist tha t are not of the form O (X ). A simple example is the frame Oreg(R) of regular open subsets of R, i.e. of open subsets U with the property ——U = U, where —U is the interior of the complement of U . This may be contrasted with the situation for ...
متن کاملA Topos Foundation for Theories of Physics: II. Daseinisation and the Liberation of Quantum Theory
This paper is the second in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of constructing theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep issues that arise when contemplating quantum theories of space and time. Our basic contention is that constructing a theory of physics is equivalent to finding a representation in a topos of a certain formal languag...
متن کاملTopos theory and ‘neo-realist’ quantum theory
Topos theory, a branch of category theory, has been proposed as mathematical basis for the formulation of physical theories. In this article, we give a brief introduction to this approach, emphasising the logical aspects. Each topos serves as a ‘mathematical universe’ with an internal logic, which is used to assign truth-values to all propositions about a physical system. We show in detail how ...
متن کاملTopos-Theoretic Extension of a Modal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
This paper deals with topos-theoretic truth-value valuations of quantum propositions. Concretely, a mathematical framework of a specific type of modal approach is extended to the topos theory, and further, structures of the obtained truth-value valuations are investigated. What is taken up is the modal approach based on a determinate lattice D(e,R), which is a sublattice of the lattice L of all...
