Humeanism in Light of Quantum Gravity
Enrico Cinti, Marco Sanchioni

TL;DR
This paper explores how the ER=EPR conjecture and causal structure can reconcile Humeanism with quantum entanglement, challenging previous assumptions of incompatibility.
Contribution
It introduces a novel philosophical framework linking causal structure and ER=EPR to resolve conflicts between Humeanism and quantum entanglement.
Findings
Reconstructs the tension between Humeanism and entanglement
Shows how ER=EPR and causal structure resolve this tension
Provides a philosophical interpretation of quantum correlations
Abstract
Quantum Theory and Humeanism have long been thought to be incompatible due to the irreducibility of the correlations involved in entangled states. In this paper, we reconstruct the tension between Humeanism and entanglement via the concept of causal structure, and provide a philosophical introduction to the ER=EPR conjecture. With these tools, we then show how the concept of causal structure and the ER=EPR conjecture allow us to resolve the conflict between Humeanism and entanglement.
