dhw: I suspect David never sleeps, as he seems to keep up with everything, -I just use the internet as a fabulous library:- "TI provides the following: a straightforward, simple and elegant account of the Born Rule; an observer-free account of collapse; the collapse is Lorentz-invariant since it occurs either atemporally or all along a spatiotemporal four-vector (depending on one's ontological interpretation); a realist ontology in terms of possibilist realism, thus providing a clear answer to "where all the computation takes place" in quantum computing. It potentially opens a door to an entirely new and exciting understanding of physical reality worthy of the great empirical successes of quantum theory: namely, that the world around us is seething with unactualized, but nevertheless real and potent, physical possibility."-http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1001/1001.2867.pdf-This is a Kastner paper and although I am not educated to follow all the inferences, it appears to me to open up a whole new world of approach to QM. Beyond the great Feynman!
