“we discuss. 2 Wigner’s Friend In 1961, Eugene Wigner proposed a thought experiment that focuses on the tension between unitary evolution and wavefunction collapse mentioned in the introduction above (Wigner, 1961). The experiment, called ‘Wigner’s Friend’, is a variation on Schrodinger’s Cat. Instead of a cat inside a…”

“For example, in the context of Wigner’s friend thought experiment (Wigner, 1995), Wigner and his friend may assign different quantum states to the same system, but these states are considered epistemic, representing individual perspectives and information, rather than any objective feature of the…”

“In this way, however the „biological invariant of motion”, which is representing the usual physical symmetry, which generally does not have a symmetry – induced physical invariant (Wigner, 1959), there might be a (biological) dynamical invariant, (existing only in „ket”, „bra” spaces motion), and time inversion symmet…”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
