Manifestation at the Edge: Introducing the Absolute Nonexistence Superposition Hypothesis (ANSH)

Wouter Slettenhaar

The Absolute Nonexistence Superposition Hypothesis (ANSH) offers a novel interpretation of quantum superposition, proposing that unobserved quantum entities do not exist in spacetime in any classical sense. Instead of existing in multiple states simultaneously, they reside in a state of atemporal, nonlocal potential—what we term “nonexistence” relative to the framework of time and space. Upon observation or interaction, this potential manifests as a singular, localized event in spacetime. ANSH reframes superposition not as a paradox of many existences, but as the absence of existence until observation brings about manifestation. This perspective resolves key paradoxes such as Schrödinger’s Cat and the behavior of photons in the double-slit experiment, without invoking multiple worlds or branching realities. By understanding the boundary conditions of existence—such as light speed and Planck limits—ANSH suggests that quantum phenomena emerge from regions where time and space themselves cease to apply. This approach provides a unified, simplified view of quantum mechanics, grounded in the principle that existence itself is conditional and emergent upon measurement.

Elements of Measurement Theory

Bernard d’Espagnat

This chapter examines the reasons why measurement theory is a particularly controversial part of modern theoretical physics. The problem of measurement in quantum mechanics is considered as nonexistent or trivial by an impressive body of theoretical physicists and as presenting almost insurmountable difficulties by a somewhat lesser but steadily growing number of their colleagues. The law of evolution in time constitutes the essential part of the conventional measurement theory. In this theory, the existence of a Hamiltonian describing the instrument-system interaction is postulated, not derived. In other words, this assumption is considered as a legitimate idealization of the experimental facts. A wave packet reduction can be considered as a phenomenological procedure that, in many instances, can be applied in order to calculate the results of successive observations and the correlations between them without introducing into the formulas the complicated wave functions of the various instruments.

Uncertainty principle and joint distributions of observables

Sylvia Pulmannová, Anatolij Dvurečenskij

Connections between Heisenberg uncertainty relations and the existence of joint probability distributions of corresponding observables in the frame of quantum logics are investigated. It is shown that, provided the set of physical states is sufficient, uncertainly relations imply the nonexistence of joint probability distributions in any state On etudie la relation entre les relations d'incertitude de Heisenberg et l'existence de distributions de probabilites multiples des observables correspondants dans le cadre des logiques quantiques. On montre que, si l'ensemble des etats physiques est suffisant, les relations d'incertitude impliquent la non existence des distributions de probabilite multiples dans quelque etat que ce soit
