论文摘要
量子物理学的一个核心开放问题是将理论与经验调和。在这项工作中，我提出了一个框架，用于研究超级世界中不同的经验方式。经验模式的特点是世界，经验和期权如何通过感知，决策和行动以及概率规则相互关联，以编码第一人称体验之间的概率或确定性相关性。在玩具模型中，比较了不同候选经验模式中生物的生活期望。发现没有宏观叠加的量子模式以宏观叠加和实际振幅为止。这些强调了通过其进化优势来解释经验方式的前景。
A central open problem of quantum physics is to reconcile theory with experience. In this work I present a framework for studying distinct modes of experience in a superposed world. A modes of experience is characterized by how the world, experiences, and options relate to each other by the perceptions, decisions, and actions, as well as by probabilistic rules encoding probabilistic or deterministic correlations among first person experiences. In a toy model, the life expectancies of beings in different candidate modes of experience are compared. It is found that the quantum mode without macroscopic superposition outlives that with macroscopic superposition and that with real amplitudes. These highlight the prospect to explain a mode of experience by its evolutionary advantages.
