- Dr. Cramer drew this graphic. It depicts his description
of his own interpretation of quantum mechanics which he describes
in this paper:
-
- The
Transactional Interpretation
of Quantum Mechanics
-
- "The basic element of the
TI is the transaction describing a quantum [special] event as an
exchange of advanced and retarded waves, as implied by the work
of Wheeler and Feynman, Dirac, and others."
-
- As quoted from the Abstract of Dr. Cramer's paper.
-
- "It provides a description
of the state vector as an actual wave physically present in real
space.
- It provides a mechanism for the
occurrence of nonlocal correlation effects
- through the use of advanced waves.
- The collapse of the state vector
in the TI is the formation of a
transaction which occurs by an exchange of retarded and advanced
waves.
- The transaction model provides
a way of clearly visualizing and developing intuition about the
quantum phenomena which have remained mysterious and counter-intuitive
for half a century."
-
- As quoted from Section 3.0 of Dr. Cramer's paper.
-
- Note that Cramer's transaction is a quantonic
interrelationship!
- It is a 2D non-loop graphic similar to the ones we
drew for
- Pirsig's new philosophy called the
- Metaphysics of Quality or MoQ I Reality loop, and
- Mechanics of Quanta or MoQ II Reality loop.
