Toward reconstruction of relative state formulation of quantum theory

Abstract

In quantum theory, it is widely accepted that all experimental results must agree with theoretical predictions based on the Copenhagen interpretation. However the classical system in the Copenhagen interpretation has not been defined yet. On the other hand, although ongoing research of decoherence is trying to elucidate the emergence of the classical world, it cannot answer why we observe one of eigenstates in observed system. These situations show that the relation between what we observe and physical law has not been elucidated. Here I elucidate the relation by developing Everett's suggestion. Further, from this point of view, I point out that today's brain science falls into circular argument because it is trying to assign what we observe in the brain to process of the subjective perception, and I suggest the future research line in brain science.
