Hi. I would really like to hear your opinion on this related video: youtu.be/TXnPKbiyRv0

Great video. I’ll be writing a dedicated piece on interpretations of quantum mechanics soon. A key point is that the waves don’t oscillate in real space but in an “imaginary”phase space.

Would you count the idea behind my video as an interpretation?

I made a note on my substack about this a while back where I'm not as restricted by word limit.

Could you link to that note? I didn’t find it.

Yes, definitely. From what I understand, you view the superposition as a manifestation of a particle existing in different dimensions. I think this is an insightful model, but it very much echoes the many worlds interpretation. The decisive mystery is understanding why we only observe one timeline.

Also, the reason why we only observe one timeline is explained here: youtu.be/_N7Mum3uw70

Thanks. Read your note on substack. The crux is that the superposition is in the minds of synchronously running observers. Multiple time dimensions is different to the MVI; for a start the parallel timelines interact. I look at it as an explanation rather than an interpretation.
