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!
