Abstract

Starting from the Born–Oppenheimer approximation and the state density functions, which can be computed for any molecular structure, several conformational vector space enfoldments can be described, and configuring what can be described as well-defined molecular quantum mechanical universes. The collection of all imaginable molecular enfoldment universes, constitute the molecular multiverse. This study sets the basic definitions to describe such mathematical constructs.
