Auxiliary nRules of Quantum Mechanics
Richard A Mould
abstract: Standard quantum mechanics makes use of four auxiliary rules that allow the
Schrodinger solutions to be related to laboratory experience, such as the Born
rule that connects square modulus to probability. These rules (here called the
sRules) lead to some unacceptable results. They do not allow the primary
observer to be part of the system. They do not allow individual observations
(as opposed to ensembles) to be part of the system. They make a fundamental
distinction between microscopic and macroscopic things, and they are ambiguous
in their description of secondary observers such as Schrodingers cat.
The nRules are an alternative set of auxiliary rules that avoid the above
difficulties. In this paper we look at a wide range of representative
experiments showing that the nRules adequately relate the Schrodinger solutions
to empirical experience. This suggests that the sRules should be abandoned in
favor of the more satisfactory nRules, or a third auxiliary rule-set called the
oRules. Keywords: brain states, consciousness, decoherence, epistemology,
measurement, ontology, stochastic, state reduction, wave collapse.
