The fact that certain “extraordinary” probabilistic phenomena — in particular, macroscopic violations of the second law of thermodynamics — have never been observed to occur can be accounted for by taking hard preclusion as a basic physical law, i.e. precluding from existence events corresponding to very small but nonzero values of quantum-mechanical weight. This approach is not consistent with the usual ontology of the Everett interpretation, in which outcomes correspond to branches of the state vector, but can be successfully implemented using a Heisenberg-picture-based ontology in which outcomes are encoded in transformations of operators. Hard preclusion can provide an explanation for biological evolution, which can in turn explain our subjective experiences of, and reactions to, “ordinary” probabilistic phenomena, and the compatibility of those experiences and reactions with what we conventionally take to be objective probabilities arising from physical laws.

海森堡图片埃弗雷特量子力学中的概率、排除和生物进化

某些“非同寻常的”概率现象——特别是宏观违反热力学第二定律——从未被观察到发生的事实可以通过将硬排除作为基本物理定律来解释，即排除对应于非常量子力学重量的小但非零值。这种方法与 Everett 解释的通常本体论不一致，其中结果对应于状态向量的分支，但可以使用基于海森堡图片的本体论成功实现，其中结果被编码在运算符的转换中。硬排除可以为生物进化提供解释，进而可以解释我们对“普通”概率现象的主观体验和反应，
