In a quantum universe with a strong arrow of time, we postulate a low-entropy boundary
condition (the past hypothesis, PH) to account for the temporal asymmetry. In this article, I …

If there are fundamental laws of nature, can they fail to be exact? In this paper, I consider the
possibility that some fundamental laws are vague. I call this phenomenon fundamental …

Two of the most difficult problems in the foundations of physics are (1) what gives rise to the
arrow of time and (2) what the ontology of quantum mechanics is. I propose a unified …

I show explicitly how concerns about wave function collapse and ontology can be decoupled
from the bulk of technical analysis necessary to recover localized, approximately Newtonian …

It is shown how to extend Bohmian mechanics to an arbitrary representation, based on the
polar form of the wave function. The early criticism of Pauli and Heisenberg concerning the …

In this work, we proposed a smooth transition wave equation from a quantum to classical
regime in the framework of von Neumann formalism for ensembles and then obtained an …

In a quantum universe with a strong arrow of time, it is standard to postulate that the initial
wave function started in a particular macrostate—the special low-entropy macrostate …

It is a century-old view that experiential philosophies are not compatible with materialism. In
the contextual inconsistency with the reality, that matter is inertly acquiring only a single …

We present a way to construct a pilot‐wave model for quantum field theory. The idea is to
introduce beables corresponding only to the bosonic degrees of freedom and not to the …
