The Quantum Liar Experiment in Cramer's Transactional Interpretation
R. E. Kastner

TL;DR
This paper applies Cramer's Transactional Interpretation to the Quantum Liar Experiment, explaining paradoxical features through nonlocal interactions and proposing a higher-dimensional space for offer and confirmation waves.
Contribution
It extends TI to the QLE and introduces the idea of higher space for wave propagation to maintain interpretative elegance.
Findings
Paradoxical features explained nonlocally
Offer and confirmation waves may propagate in higher space
Supports the nonlocal nature of TI
Abstract
Cramer's Transactional Interpretation (TI) is applied to the "Quantum Liar Experiment" (QLE). It is shown how some apparently paradoxical features can be explained naturally, albeit nonlocally (since TI is an explicitly nonlocal interpretation, at least from the vantage point of ordinary spacetime). At the same time, it is proposed that in order to preserve the elegance and economy of the interpretation, it may be necessary to consider offer and confirmation waves as propagating in a "higher space" of possibilities.
