It is a fact that QM dynamics doesn't actually follow the basis independence of Hilbert space(there is even a theorem that proves it). The measurement problem(preferred basis) is just a manifestation of this state of affairs. So 't hooft is just acknowledging it.stevendaryl said:I was certainly intrigued by the T'hooft interpretation when I first read about it, but there are a few weird things about it.
One is that it suggests the "basis independence" of QM is an illusion. Underneath the appearance of the superpositions, there is actually a "true" state variable that always has a definite value..
The case with spinors lies outside the theorem mentioned above.Applied to something like a spin-1/2 particle,.
