论文摘要
某些“非凡”概率现象(尤其是对热力学第二定律的宏观侵犯)的事实可以通过将硬排斥作为基本的物理定律来解释。即,从存在的事件中排除了对应于非常小但非零机械重量值的非零值。这种方法与埃弗里特解释的通常本体论不一致,在该解释中,结果与国家向量的分支相对应,但可以使用基于海森伯格 - 局部的本体学成功实施,其中在操作员的转换中编码结果。艰苦的排除可以为生物进化提供解释,这反过来又可以解释我们对“普通”概率现象的主观经验和反应,以及这些经验和反应与我们通常认为是由物理定律产生的客观概率的兼容性。
The fact that certain "extraordinary" probabilistic phenomena--in particular, macroscopic violations of the second law of thermodynamics--have never been observed to occur can be accounted for by taking hard preclusion as a basic physical law; i.e. precluding from existence events corresponding to very small but nonzero values of quantum-mechanical weight. This approach is not consistent with the usual ontology of the Everett interpretation, in which outcomes correspond to branches of the state vector, but can be successfully implemented using a Heisenberg-picture-based ontology in which outcomes are encoded in transformations of operators. Hard preclusion can provide an explanation for biological evolution, which can in turn explain our subjective experiences of, and reactions to, "ordinary" probabilistic phenomena, and the compatibility of those experiences and reactions with what we conventionally take to be objective probabilities arising from physical laws.
