摘要

某些“非同寻常”的概率现象——特别是宏观上违反热力学第二定律的现象——从未被观察到发生过,这一事实可以通过将硬排除作为基本物理定律来解释;即排除与量子力学重量非常小但非零值相对应的事件的存在。这种方法与Everett解释的通常本体不一致,在Everett解释中,结果对应于状态向量的分支,但可以使用基于海森堡图像的本体成功实现,其中结果在算子的转换中编码。硬排除可以为生物进化提供一种解释,而生物进化反过来又可以解释我们对“普通”概率现象的主观体验和反应,以及这些体验和反应与我们通常认为的由物理定律产生的客观概率的相容性。

Probability, preclusion and biological evolution in Heisenberg-picture Everett quantum mechanics
The fact that certain "extraordinary" probabilistic phenomena--in particular, macroscopic violations of the second law of thermodynamics--have never been observed to occur can be accounted for by taking hard preclusion as a basic physical law; i.e. precluding from existence events corresponding to very small but nonzero values of quantum-mechanical weight. This approach is not consistent with the usual ontology of the Everett interpretation, in which outcomes correspond to branches of the state vector, but can be successfully implemented using a Heisenberg-picture-based ontology in which outcomes are encoded in transformations of operators. Hard preclusion can provide an explanation for biological evolution, which can in turn explain our subjective experiences of, and reactions to, "ordinary" probabilistic phenomena, and the compatibility of those experiences and reactions with what we conventionally take to be objective probabilities arising from physical laws.
