Interpretations of quantum theory have traditionally assumed a "Galilean" observer, a bare "point of view" implemented physically by a quantum system. This paper investigates the c…
Autonomy all the way down: Systems and dynamics in quantum Bayesianism

Quantum Bayesianism ("QBism") has been put forward as an approach to quantum theory that avoids foundational problems by altogether disavowing the objective existence of quantum st…
Quantum mechanics from five physical assumptions
