Hidden Variable Theory of a Single World from Many-Worlds Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper introduces a method to identify initial states in many-worlds quantum mechanics that evolve deterministically yet appear random, explaining how single-world experiences emerge from a multiverse framework.

Contribution

It presents a novel approach to determine initial states that produce single-world trajectories within the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Findings

Deterministic initial states can lead to single-world evolution.

Randomness emerges from information growth over time.

The method bridges many-worlds theory with observable single-world phenomena.

Abstract

We propose a method for finding an initial state vector which by ordinary Hamiltonian time evolution follows a single branch of many-worlds quantum mechanics. The resulting deterministic system appears to exhibit random behavior as a result of the successive emergence over time of information present in the initial state but not previously observed.
