Objective and Subjective Solomonoff Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics

Blog Article

Algorithmic probability has shown some promise in dealing with the probability problem in the Everett interpretation, since it provides an objective, single-case probability measure.Many find the Everettian cosmology to be Chess Set overly extravagant, however, and algorithmic probability has also provided improved models of subjective probability and Bayesian reasoning.I attempt here to generalize algorithmic Everettianism to more Bayesian and subjectivist interpretations.I present a general framework for applying generative probability, of which Cover Ups algorithmic probability can be considered a special case.

I apply this framework to two commonly vexing thought experiments that have immediate application to quantum probability: the Sleeping Beauty and Replicator experiments.
