Presentist Fragmentalism and Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel Presentist Fragmentalist interpretation of quantum mechanics, providing new insights into longstanding problems like Schrödinger's Cat, Bell nonlocality, and the Born rule, while maintaining consistency with relativity.

Contribution

It proposes a new interpretation that addresses key quantum paradoxes and is compatible with special relativity, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of time in quantum theory.

Findings

Handles Schrödinger's Cat, Bell nonlocality, and Born rule consistently

Shows compatibility with special relativity

Provides intuitive explanations for quantum phenomena

Abstract

This paper states and gives three applications of a novel Presentist Fragmentalist interpretation of quantum mechanics. In a cognate paper it was explicitly shown this kind of presentism is consistent with special relativity and that it has implications for how to understand time as it relates to the Big Bang, 5. In this paper we narrowly focus on three applications. These are surely the most important conundrums for any proposed interpretation of quantum mechanics, Schrodingers Cat, Bell nonlocality, and the Born rule. It will be shown that these can be handled in a consistent and intuitive way.
