arXiv:2503.05681v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Determinism is (roughly) the thesis that the past determines the future. But efforts to define it precisely have exposed deep methodological disagreements. Standard possible-worlds formulations of determinism presuppose an “agreement” relation between worlds,but this relation can be understood in multiple ways, none of which is particularly clear
Local Scale Invariance in Quantum Theory: A Non-Hermitian Pilot-Wave Formulation
•
physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 2d
arXiv:2601.03567v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We show that Weyl’s abandoned idea of local scale invariance has a natural realization at the quantum level in pilot-wave (deBroglie-Bohm) theory. We obtain the Weyl covariant derivative by complexifying the electromagnetic gauge coupling parameter. The resultant non-hermiticity has a natural interpretation in terms of local scale invarianc

arXiv:1306.2266v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Natural philosophy integrates scientific observation with abstract frameworks, often using a mathematical Ansatz to hypothesise about physical phenomena. Exploring the possibility of other universes, however, challenges assumptions that physical laws, like spacetime geometry, extend beyond our reality. This paper argues that mathematical abstracti

arXiv:2601.13109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feynman famously said that single-particle interference is “a phenomenon which is impossible to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics.” In this paper we show that some of the phenomenology of interference can be reproduced in a “classical” way, by reproducing the Elitzur-Vaidman Bomb Tester (including

Superluminal Transformations and Indeterminism
•
physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 1d
arXiv:2601.15263v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum theory is widely regarded as fundamentally indeterministic, yet classical frameworks can also exhibit indeterminism once infinite information is abandoned. At the same time, relativity is usually taken to forbid superluminal signalling, yet Lorentz symmetry formally admits superluminal transformations (SpTs). Dragan and Ekert have argued th
The burden of Fundamentality: Metaphysical ambiguities and the issue of Superdeterminism

physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 1d
arXiv:2601.14316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we approach the problem of superdeterminism from a novel point of view, highlighting its character as a more metaphysical than scientific proposition. First, we introduce a distinction between two types of superdeterministic theories, na\”ive (NSD) and metaphysical (MSD), and argue how NSD presents significant epistemic flaws. We show h
