On the causal efficacy of qualia: Philosophical zombies are fine-tuned, and implications for the quantum measurement theory
Adam Brownstein
We suggest that qualia have a causally efficacious role in quantum mechanics; an occurrence which explains how information about qualia can enter the physical environment. This is…
The locality of quantum subsystems II: A 'local sum-over-paths' ontology for quantum subsystems
Adam Brownstein
Subsystems of entangled quantum systems are not traditionally described in a local way. This paper begins to address the issue by constructing an explicit local hidden variable the…
The locality of quantum subsystems III: A 'subsystem compatible' interpretation of quantum mechanics
Adam Brownstein
A local description of quantum subsystems can be used to construct ontologies of the full quantum predictions. This paper communicates one possible way to do so. A retrocausal inte…
The locality of quantum subsystems I
Adam Brownstein
Many of the contemporary formulations of quantum mechanics describe the marginal probability distributions of entangled many-body systems in a non-local way. Unlike the non-localit…
