Typicality Derived

TL;DR

This paper introduces Eventual Quantum Mechanics, an alternative framework that assigns higher likelihood to typical observations by using the Principle of Observational Discrimination to calculate probabilities.

Contribution

It proposes a new version of quantum theory that favors typicality and provides a method to compute probabilities based on unique observational data sets.

Findings

Supports the likelihood of typical observations in quantum mechanics

Introduces the Principle of Observational Discrimination for probability calculation

Offers a framework for normalized probabilities in quantum alternatives

Abstract

Hartle and Srednicki have suggested that standard quantum theory does not favor our typicality. Here an alternative version is proposed in which typicality is likely, Eventual Quantum Mechanics. This version allows one to calculate normalized probabilities for alternatives obeying what I call the Principle of Observational Discrimination, that each possible complete observation or data set should uniquely distinguish one element from the set of alternatives.
