| | [AI summary] The discussion revolves around the interpretation of quantum mechanics, particularly focusing on the Frauchiger-Renner thought experiment and the transactional interpretation (TI) as a viable physical explanation. Key points include the critique of instrumentalism, the role of decoherence in classical emergence, and the distinction between self-reference and self-measurement in quantum systems. The conversation highlights the importance of physical interpretations of quantum mechanics that address the nature of reality and measurement, while also addressing common misconceptions and errors in quantum thought experiments.

| | I have a nagging suspicion that we misinterpret quantum mechanics. I am probably wrong, but I believe that quantum computers may always be outperformed by classical algorithms.

| From the outside it might seem like physics and mathematics are a match made in heaven. In practice, it feels more like physicists are given a very short blanket made of math, and when they stretch it to cover their heads, their feet are freezing, and vice versa. Physicists turn reality into numbers. They process...
