On Many-Minds Interpretations of Quantum Theory

This paper is a response to some recent discussions of many-minds interpretations in the philosophical literature. After an introduction to the many-minds idea, the complexity of quantum states for macroscopic objects is stressed. Then it is proposed that a characterization of the physical structure of observers is a proper goal for physical theory. It is argued that an observer cannot be defin...

Many-Minds Quantum Mechanics

Preface This is a draft of an upcoming book with a computational approach to quantum mechanics based viewing the the Schrödinger equation for a many-electron atom or molecule as a non-linear system of of one-electron equations in the spirit of Hartrees classical method, which is solved in a collective computational process with each electron updating its own three-dimensional wave function acco...

The Many-Worlds and Many-Minds Formulations of Quantum Mechanics

The many-worlds and many-minds formulations of quantum mechanics are reconstructions of Hugh Everett ill's (19578, 1957b, 1973) relative-state fonnulation of quantum mechanics. Each is presented as a proposal for solving the quantum measurement problem. Much of the philosophical interest in these theories derives from the metaphysical commitments they suggest. They illustrate the roles played b...
