Dear Mark
Do you think you could prepare a brief summary of what you are doing, say 4 or 5 pages, relating it to issues in quantum foundations and the work that other people are doing, and saying why we should be interested in it? I confess to having gotten essentially nothing from the abstract and introduction of your 54 page article, and lack the motivation to spend hours digging through the rest of it. Nor did I find your hints to look here or look there helpful. There are too many unfamiliar terms and concepts, an enormous number of initialisms, but, worst of all, I do not know where you are going. Which of the big problems of quantum foundations do you think you have solved? Your style may be appropriate for communicating to specialists, but it then leaves someone like me, who has not been in on the discussion, out in the cold. Take a look at some of the other contributions to this workshop and I think you will see the level of writing and explanation needed to communicate to a group of this sort. I hope I am not being offensive by expressing my disappointment.
