A Testable Theory for The Emergence of the Classical World

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new approach to understanding how the classical world emerges from quantum mechanics, focusing on the role of measurement basis selection, which remains theoretically unresolved.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on the basis-dependent nature of measurement and the emergence of classicality, addressing a key gap in quantum theory.

Findings

Highlights the importance of basis selection in measurement

Proposes a framework for understanding classical emergence

Identifies the lack of a theory for basis selection as a key issue

Abstract

The transition from the quantum to the classical world is not yet understood. Here we take a new approach. Central to this is the understanding that measurement and actualization cannot occur except in some specific basis. But we have no established theory for the emergence of a specific basis.
