The "Ghostly" Quantum Worlds

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel interpretation of quantum theory based on the idea that the universe has multiple, irreducible structures or facets, which could explain phenomena like free will and measurement in a new light.

Contribution

It proposes a new interpretation of quantum theory centered on the universe's multiple irreducible structures, offering fresh insights into free will and measurement.

Findings

Different structures of the quantum universe are mutually irreducible.

These structures can be viewed as different facets of the same universe.

The interpretation provides a new perspective on free will and measurement phenomena.

Abstract

We present the foundations of a new emerging interpretation of quantum theory bearing wide-range implications. Physical basis of the interpretation is non-questionable yet relatively new--it relies on the different structures (decompositions into parts, subsystems) of the quantum Universe. We compare the mutually irreducible structures of the Universe and recognize them as the different facets of the one and the same quantum Universe. Physical picture is interesting and non-reducible to the existing interpretations. As a particularly interesting topic in this context appears the 'free will' topic of current interest in the interpretation of quantum theory. To this end, we arrive at the following interesting observation. The freely chosen actions (e.g. quantum measurements) performed by a (conscious) agent that are still locally observable in the alternate Worlds could seem physically unexplainable ('non-physical', 'ghostly').
