They're waves, they radiate out from their source and decrease in amplitude and increase in wavelength as they go. In what sense could such waves be scale-invariant? Think of analogous waves on a lake when you drop a rock in - they look very different at different scales.I'm gonna get above my pay grade here, but do they really have scale? What are you using to measure them? I realize that some things are scale invariant, and so they'll survive the transition from one aeon to the next. I believe that gravitational waves fall into that category, they're scale invariant.
That doesn't help."Sequential" is a problem when you realize what I meant by "stacking". And yes, I was being intentionally vague.
That makes no sense to me - you can't just mush two completely different theories about different things together like that.But what if we try to put MWI and CCC together. What do we get? Well it depends on how you put them together. I want to stack them. Now when I say "stack", what I really mean is, I want to take the aeons from CCC and put them in superposition to give me MWI.
Consider for example Schrodinger's cat, CCC should produce an infinite number of aeons that are identical to the one in which Schrodinger's cat sits blissfully unaware of its potential fate. Of that infinite number, some of them will be identical only up to the point where we open the box and discover the fate of the cat, then they'll diverge. So this explains the decoherence that MWI theorizes, as opposed to the collapse that other theories propose. It also explains where those other worlds come from. They're simply the result of a perpetual cycle produced by the neverending increase in entropy...CCC.
Decoherence is not an alternative to wavefunction collapse, it follows from a superposition interacting with the environment. Wavefunction collapse is in addition to decoherence in collapse interpretations.
In MWI, Schrodinger's cat is not in a superposition until we open the box; the detector is a macroscopic object that records the quantum event, so decoherence and branching starts in the environment inside the box as soon as the emitted particle is detected, and spreads rapidly to encompass the detector, the poison vial, the cat, and the box, and from there to the outside environment. Versions of the cat and you will be in each branch of the wavefunction (particle emitted/particle not emitted) long before you open the box. You just don't know which branch you're in until you open it - this is 'self-locating uncertainty'.
Except that indistinguishable or not, the theory requires that each follows the previous in temporal order. Also, if entropy always increases, then they will be ordered entropically.Now the problem with a sequentially ordered series of aeons is, I can see no logical reason why I should stack them. They have a definite order. This one comes before that one. However, if can't tell which order they should go in, then I have no logical reason to put one before or after another, therefore I can logically treat them as if they occur simultaneously. In other words, I can treat them as if they're in a superposition.
