摘要

现代埃弗雷特对量子力学的解释描述了一个新兴的多元宇宙。本文的目的是利用最近对(弱)本体论涌现的描述，为多元宇宙如何出现提供一个清晰的特征。这将通过一个案例研究来证明，该案例研究将退相干识别为涌现的机制。更大的形而上学清晰度可以反驳Baker(2007)和david and th bault(2015)提出的批评，这些批评将新兴的多元宇宙本体视为不连贯的;作者还对莫德林(2010)和蒙顿(2013)对埃弗里特方法提出的挑战作出了回应。

Incoherent? No, Just Decoherent: How Quantum Many Worlds Emerge

Abstract The modern Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics describes an emergent multiverse. The goal of this paper is to provide a perspicuous characterisation of how the multiverse emerges making use of a recent account of (weak) ontological emergence. This will be cashed out with a case study that identifies decoherence as the mechanism for emergence. The greater metaphysical clarity enables the rebuttal of critiques due to Baker (2007) and Dawid and Thébault (2015) that cast the emergent multiverse ontology as incoherent; responses are also offered to challenges to the Everettian approach from Maudlin (2010) and Monton (2013).
