Unscrambling the Quantum Omelette
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on recent theorems about quantum value-indefiniteness it is conjectured that many issues of “Born’s quantum mechanics” can be overcome by supposing that only a single pure state exists; and that the quantum evolution permutes this state.

RNA-directed epigenetic regulation of DNA rearrangements.
Ciliated protozoa undergo extensive DNA rearrangements, including DNA elimination, chromosome breakage and DNA unscrambling, when the germline micronucleus produces the new macronucleus during sexual reproduction. It has long been known that many of these events are epigenetically controlled by DNA sequences of the parental macronuclear genome. Recent studies in some model ciliates have reveale...
متن کاملThe Effects of Task Variation on the Accuracy and Complexity of Iranian EFL Learners’ Oral Performance
Task variation is an integrative method aiming at the importance of learner-to-learner interactions in a wide range of learning contexts and fostering authentic use of language and meaningful communication. This study investigated the impact of task variation on the accuracy and complexity of Iranian EFL learners’ oral speech. In so doing, 80 intermediate EFL learners, majoring English at the I...
متن کاملThe ld and dlad Bio-Operations on Formal Languages
We continue the language theoretic study of operations suggested by the gene unscrambling process in stichotrichous ciliates. One of the two complementary models of gene unscrambling is based on operations inspired by the ways in which a DNA molecule can fold: hi (hairpin loop with inverted pointers) which reverses a substring between a pointer sequence and its reverse, ld(loop with direct poin...
متن کاملA note on unscrambling address lines
A writer stores some data in memory accessible via address lines. If an adversary permutes the address lines after the writer leaves the message, then how can a reader find the permutation? This is the so-called unscrambling address lines problem of Broder et al. [SODA’99, 1999, pp. 870–871]. By a divide-and-conquer approach, we give a very simple algorithm to recover the permutation. Our metho...
متن کاملA Logic of Quantum Measurement
We present a formulation of quantum mechanics based on a logic representing some aspects of the behaviour of the measurement process. With such an approach, we make no direct mention of quantum states, and thus avoid the problems associated to this rather evasive notion. We then study some properties of the models of this logic, and deduce some characteristics that any model (and hence any form...
