Misunderstanding Convivial Solipsism: the Necessity of a Perspectival Logic
Herve Zwirn
Convivial Solipsism is easily misunderstood. Because it denies the absoluteness of observed events while preserving the universality of quantum mechanics, it invites objections tha…
Non-Absoluteness, Tracking, and Intersubjectivity in Perspectival Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: A Conceptual and Formal Analysis
Herve Zwirn
This paper offers a conceptual and formal analysis of non-absoluteness in perspectival interpretations of quantum mechanics. Extended Wigner-type experiments reveal a fundamental t…
Are Events Absolute?
Herve Zwirn
The Wigner's Friend thought experiment stands as one of the most intellectually provocative and challenging conceptual puzzles in quantum mechanics. It compels us to confront profo…
Quantum Decision Theory
Herve Zwirn
In this article, we propose to use the formalism of quantum mechanics to describe and explain the so-called "abnormal" behaviour of agents in certain decision or choice contexts. T…
Is Intersubjectivity Proven? A Reply to Khrennikov and to QBists
Herve Zwirn
In two recent papers Khrennikov uses what he calls Ozawa intersubjectivity theorem to claim that intersubjectivity is necessarily verified in quantum mechanics and to criticize QBi…
Convivial Solipsism as a maximally perspectival interpretation
Herve Zwirn
A classification of different interpretations of the quantum formalism is examined and the concept of perspectival interpretation is presented. A perspectival interpretation implie…
