论文摘要

我们基于不同的``图片''的量子力学解释进行了批评,该解释描述了隔离量子系统的时间演变。没有外部强加的框架来限制这些可能的图片,该理论将无法产生非平凡的解释性陈述。这类似于古德曼著名的语言和归纳问题。使用适用于多种动力学理论的一般框架,我们尝试确定对理论的有意义解释所需的其他结构(如果有)。我们发现``grue-bleen''问题不仅限于量子力学,而且会影响其他理论,包括经典的哈密顿力学。对于所有这些理论,缺乏外部框架信息,隔离系统没有解释。

We present a critique of the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, based on different ``pictures'' that describe the time evolution of an isolated quantum system. Without an externally imposed frame to restrict these possible pictures, the theory cannot yield non-trivial interpretational statements. This is analogous to Goodman's famous ``grue-bleen'' problem of language and induction. Using a general framework applicable to many kinds of dynamical theories, we try to identify the kind of additional structure (if any) required for the meaningful interpretation of a theory. We find that the ``grue-bleen'' problem is not restricted to quantum mechanics, but also affects other theories including classical Hamiltonian mechanics. For all such theories, absent external frame information, an isolated system has no interpretation.
