Abstract

We present an idealized model for a sequence of position measurements, and we then take an appropriate limit in which the measurements become continuous. The measurements lead to fluctuations without systematic dissipation, and they rapidly destroy off-diagonal terms in the position basis; thus the pointer basis is position. A modification of the model incorporates systematic dissipation via a feedback mechanism; in the modified model there is no decay of off-diagonal coherence in the position basis.

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.
