The Measurement Problem from the Perspective of an Information-Theoretic
Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

 

   Yes, Bub's insistence on the absolute randomness would remain invincible
as far as third-person probabilities are taken for granted from the outset
in comprehending what messages would QM convey to us. On the other hand,
once one may happen to feel at ease with the first-person probabilities
(see, for instance,  James Hartle's "Living in a superposition"
http://arXiv.org/abs/1511.01550 ), the first-person probability of the
occurrence of such an agent assuming the first-person status would come to
approach unity even within the framework of the decoherent-histories
interpretation of QM.
