Abstract

A lot of what is said in this chapter is rejected by someone or other in the scientific community. But it is what I have come to accept as a clear accounting of a topic that touches on both the mathematical and physical interpretations of quantum theory. Unfortunately, it seems to be almost impossible to find an exposition of this topic that does not include some bits of utter nonsense. If you can believe a nearly doubly negative, totally self-referential sentence.
