    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Localised wave packets do not follow exact Newtonian trajectories because decoherence causes them to fan out into new more localised packets

    Because einselection continuously regenerates localisation through branching rather than preserving it, the resulting ensemble of packets structurally deviates from any single Newtonian geodesic.

    Key Terms

    Branching(Used to describe how some theories explain chance and possibility in the universe.)
    The idea that reality splits into multiple possible futures at certain moments, like a tree growing new branches, so that different versions of events actually exist.
    Einselection(quantum mechanics)
    Short for 'environment-induced selection'; Zurek's idea that a quantum system's environment naturally 'selects' which properties become definite and observable.
    Newtonian geodesic(as used in classical physics)
    In classical (Newtonian) physics, the natural path that an object follows under the influence of forces, like the curved path of a planet orbiting the sun.
    ensemble(Gibbs framework in statistical mechanics)
    An imaginary collection of infinitely many copies of the same system (sharing the same phase space, dynamics, and measure) that happen to be in different states

    localisation(as used in quantum physics)
    The process of pinpointing something to a specific location or state, rather than having it spread out or undefined across multiple possibilities.
    packets(as used in quantum physics)
    Distinct bundles or groups, often used in physics to describe concentrated portions of energy or matter.
    structurally deviates(as used in comparative analysis)
    Differs or diverges in its fundamental organization or pattern compared to something else.
