Question: Why is the "derivation"* of the Born Rule in (Everett, 1957) not considered satisfactory**?
*Everett shows that the amplitude-squared rule for subjective probability is the only measure consistent with an agreeable additivity condition. **It is apparently not satisfactory because there have been multiple later attempts to derive the Born Rule from certain other (e.g., decision-theoretic) assumptions in an Everett framework (Deutsch, Wallace). I have not yet studied these later works so cannot yet comment on them (but would appreciate any remarks/opinions that Everything-listers have to offer). -- Joseph Knight -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
