I've thought about similar things, it seems to me to be a sort of retroactive causality.
It seems to me that there will be mutually exclusive states of reality existing in different spatial contexts; it's only at the meeting of light cones that the contradiction is reconciled (the likelihood of superposition mutex events is zero).
- yarg 6y agoI left out the reason that I think that this is important - it eliminates "spooky action at a distance". There's a fundamental equivalency there in terms of the consequences of the events - you can never outrun the light-cone of the remote event to reach any illegal states.
- rpz 6y agoStill a pretty spooky action if you ask me
- yarg 6y agoSure, in a creepy time erasing histories that were hitherto possible kinda way - but not in an event notification hopping gallactic distances without any form of medium kinda way.
- ravi-delia 6y agoI love reading more computer sciency takes on physics because they always give the distinct impression of God patching together a universe that juuuust barely works. Just something about the phrasing of it is delightful.
- matt123456789 6y agoI think you’ve just described quantum decoherence.
