Abstract

We present an axiomatic modification of quantum mechanics with a possible worlds semantics capable of predicting essential “nonquantum” features of an observable universe model—the topology and dimensionality of spacetime, the existence, the signature and a specific form of a metric on it, and a set of naturally preferred directions (vistas) in spacetime unrelated to its metric properties.
