Hidden variables in quantum mechanics: Generic models, set-theoretic forcing, and the appearance of probability
Abstract
The hidden-variables premise is shown to be equivalent to the existence of generic filters for systems of commuting observables of a quantum system. The significance of this equivalence is interpreted in light of the theory of generic filters and boolean-valued models in set theory. The apparent stochastic nature of quantum observation is derived for these hidden-variables models.
