Algorithmic Randomness and Physical Typicality
Jeffrey A. Barrett, Eddy Keming Chen, Josiah Lopez-Wild
Appeals to typicality are common in physics, but it is often unclear what it means for a physical state to be typical relative to a probability measure, and correspondingly unclear…
The Distribution Postulate in Algorithmic Bohmian Mechanics
Jeffrey A. Barrett, Eddy Keming Chen, Josiah Lopez-Wild
In order to make the right empirical predictions Bohmian mechanics requires a special statistical boundary condition -- the distribution postulate -- but it is unclear how best to…
A Nonstandard Formulation of Bohmian Mechanics
Jeffrey Barrett, Isaac Goldbring
Using the tools of nonstandard analysis, we develop and present an alternative formulation of Bohmian mechanics. This approach allows one to describe a broader assortment of physic…
Algorithmic Randomness and Probabilistic Laws
Jeffrey A. Barrett, Eddy Keming Chen
We apply recent ideas about complexity and randomness to the philosophy of laws and chances. We develop two ways to use algorithmic randomness to characterize probabilistic laws of…
Everettian mechanics with hyperfinitely many worlds
Jeffrey Barrett, Isaac Goldbring
The present paper shows how one might model Everettian quantum mechanics using hyperfinitely many worlds. A hyperfinite model allows one to consider idealized measurements of obser…
Typical Worlds
Jeffrey A. Barrett
Hugh Everett III presented pure wave mechanics, sometimes referred to as the many-worlds interpretation, as a solution to the quantum measurement problem. While pure wave mechanics…
