@davidsuculum@mathstodon.xyz That's a good point! You're correct that there are a number of such theories. The one I've encountered quite often is the Diósi-Penrose model. I do think of these as being somewhat in their own category, though, precisely because they actually propose to make an empirically-testable modification of the Schödinger equation in order to address things like the measurement problem. @androcat@toot.cat @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz

@internic@mathstodon.xyz @davidsuculum@mathstodon.xyz @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz Well, that's the thing: They are not theories, but rather interpretations. The moment they stop being a blanket reproduction of QM, they stop being interpretations of QM. If something was to be an actual theory in this area, it would need to experimentally supplant QM itself.
