Analysis of Wallace's Decision Theoretic Proof of the Born Rule in Everettian Quantum Mechanics
Year: 2015
Type: preprint
Abstract: We analyse Wallace’s adaptation of Decision Theory to formally prove the Born Rule in Everettian Quantum Mechanics. His proof was reorganized with some improvements, and many details were filled in. In the process, we detected some inconsistencies in his concepts and axioms, as well as other problems, which, if not fixed, would invalidate the proof.
