New Submission: Reply to Marchildon: absorption and non-unitarity remain well-defined in the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation

Published by on

I rebut some erroneous statements and attempt to clear up some misunderstandings in a recent set of critical remarks by Marchildon regarding the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation (RTI) in this Journal, showing that his negative conclusions regarding the transactional model are ill-founded.

Remarks on the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Published by on

Louis Marchildon (Universite du Quebec) Kastner (arXiv:1709.09367) and Kastner and Cramer (arXiv:1711. 04501) argue that the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation (RTI) of quantum mechanics provides a clear definition of absorbers and a solution to the measurement problem. I briefly examine how RTI stands with respect to unitarity in quantum mechanics. I then argue that a specific proposal to locate the origin… Read more →
