DoT: The Duality of Time Postulate

And Its Consequences on General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

Mohamed Haj Yousef

7.4. Collapse of Wave-Function:

 

Moreover, we can now give an exact account of the collapse of the wave function, since the superposition state of a system of  individual points comes from averaging their dual-state of zero or , all of which had already made its contribution except the real current one at the very real instance of time of measurement, which is going to be determined right in the following instance. Therefore, because the state of any individual point automatically collapses into zero after it makes its contribution to the total quantum state, once the moment passes, all states are determined automatically, although their eigenstate may remain unknown, as far as it is not measured.

So, as in the original Copenhagen interpretation, the act of measurement only provides knowledge of the state. However, if the number of points in a system is very small, and since the observer is necessarily part of the system, the observation may have a large impact on determining the final eigenstate.
