"Space is blue and birds fly through it" [PDF]
, 2017 Quantum mechanics is not about 'quantum states': it is about values of physical variables. I give a short fresh presentation and update on the $relational$ perspective on the theory, and a comment on its philosophical implications.Comment: Presented to ...

Representation of the Universe as a Dendrogramic Hologram Endowed with Relational Interpretation
Entropy, 2021 A proposal for a fundamental theory is described in which classical and quantum physics as a representation of the universe as a gigantic dendrogram are unified.

Relational Quantum Mechanics and Probability [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2018 We present a derivation of the third postulate of Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) from the properties of conditional probabilities.The first two RQM postulates are based on the information that can be extracted from interaction of different systems, and the third postulate defines the properties of the probability function.

Fundamental decoherence in quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2005 A recently introduced discrete formalism allows to solve the problem of time in quantum gravity in a relational manner. Quantum mechanics formulated with a relational time is not exactly unitary and implies a fundamental mechanism for decoherence of ...

Can Darwinism help us understand quantum mechanics? [PDF]
Belgrade Philosophical AnnualQuantum Mechanics is arguably the most controversial theory ever constructed: its overwhelming empirical success contrasts with the perplexity about its basic meaning.

Relational Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
, 2015 The application of quantum theory to cosmology raises a number of conceptual questions, such as the role of the quantum-mechanical notion of "observer" or the absence of a time variable in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation.

A Graph Theoretic Perspective on CPM(Rel) [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 Mixed states are of interest in quantum mechanics for modelling partial information. More recently categorical approaches to linguistics have also exploited the idea of mixed states to describe ambiguity and hyponym / hypernym relationships.

A Study of Entanglement in a Categorical Framework of Natural Language [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 In both quantum mechanics and corpus linguistics based on vector spaces, the notion of entanglement provides a means for the various subsystems to communicate with each other.

Fundamental decoherence from relational time in discrete quantum gravity: Galilean covariance [PDF]
, 2004 We have recently argued that if one introduces a relational time in quantum mechanics and quantum gravity, the resulting quantum theory is such that pure states evolve into mixed states.

Conditional probabilities with Dirac observables and the problem of time in quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2008 We combine the "evolving constants" approach to the construction of observables in canonical quantum gravity with the Page--Wootters formulation of quantum mechanics with a relational time for generally covariant systems.
