Thermalization in Quantum Systems: An Emergent Approach
Clifford Chafin
The problems with an emergent approach to quantum statistical mechanics are discussed and shown to follow from some of the same sources as those of quantum measurement. A wavefunct…
The Slicing Theory of Quantum Measurement: Derivation of Transient Many Worlds Behavior
Clifford Chafin
An emergent theory of quantum measurement arises directly by considering the particular subset of many body wavefunctions that can be associated with classical condensed matter and…
Gauge Freedom and Relativity: A Unified Treatment of Electromagnetism, Gravity and the Dirac Field
Clifford E. Chafin
The geometric properties of General Relativity are reconsidered as a particular nonlinear interaction of fields on a flat background where the perceived geometry and coordinates ar…
The Quantum State of Classical Matter II: Thermodynamic Equilibrium and Hydrodynamics
Clifford E Chafin
In the previous companion paper, we proposed a subclass of wavefunctions to describe macroscopic solids that resolved and extended the theory quantum measurement and gave a more sp…
The Quantum State of Classical Matter I: Solids and Measurements
Clifford E Chafin
Using the kinematic constraints of classical bodies we construct the allowable wavefunctions corresponding to classical solids. These are shown to be long lived metastable states t…
