Do our observations make reality happen?

We introduce and explore Rafael Sorkin's \textit{evolving co-event scheme}: a theoretical framework for determining completely which events do and do not happen in evolving quantum, or indeed classical, systems. The theory is observer-independent and constructed from discrete histories, making the framework a potential setting for discrete quantum cosmology and quantum gravity, as well as ordinary discrete quantum systems. The foundation of this theory is Quantum Measure Theory, which generalises (classical) measure theory to allow for quantum interference between alternative histories; and its co-event interpretation, which describes whether events can or can not occur, and in what combination, given a system and a quantum measure. In contrast to previous co-event schemes, the evolving co-event scheme is applied in stages, in the stochastic sense, without any dependence on later stages, making it manifestly compatible with an evolving block view. It is shown that the co-event realities produced by the basic evolving scheme do not depend on the inclusion or exclusion of zero measure histories in the history space, which follows non-trivially from the basic rules of the scheme. It is also shown that this evolving co-event scheme will reduce to producing classical realities when it is applied to classical systems.

Our five senses ask for the reference of reference, which cannot be found in our causal material reality. We all have a subjective reality that is presented as a simultaneity sphere around our consciousness. Consciousness not being a material entity with length or volume can be treated as a singularity. The cutting circles of the different spheres around the percipients form a foam (origin of decoherence) of objective mutual reality (history). Our Reductionist Causal Deterministic Universe (RCDU) is limited by the Planck Wall. Before that causality doesn’t exist, we call this “dimension” Total Simultaneity (TS). The causal time-line (β-time) consists of entangled Alpha–probabilities (α-P’s). Each “observer” is the origin of his own causal time lines. Free will makes the choice out of infinity of α-P’s in TS. Subjective individual time travel can happen without being conscious of the process (until now). We explain the double-slit experiment, the spooky action at a distance, the Many World Interpretation, Entropy, Time travel and free will. We indicate that the reductionist way of interpretation is only valid for a limited part of our reality and may not lead to the “truth” finding of the whole. The emergent way of approach may be more effective and create an understandable “being” of WHAT IS. (Parmenides, Greek Eleatic School of Philosophy, 515 BC).
