Chemical Hidden Variable Theory
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper introduces the Chemical Hidden Variable Theory (CHVT), a novel approach to theoretical chemistry predicated on the belief that existing chemical theories fundamentally lack crucial variables. Drawing an analogy with the historical search for hidden variables in quantum mechanics, CHVT posits the existence of underlying, unobserved chemical variables that dictate the behavior of chemical systems. The core objective of CHVT is to identify and model these "Hidden Chemical Variables" (HCVs) to potentially revolutionize our understanding of chemical phenomena. This paper outlines the fundamental concepts, proposed methodologies, and potential implications of CHVT, focusing on the identification and mathematical representation of HCVs. The theory relies on a revised understanding of probabilistic descriptions in chemistry, suggesting that observed probabilities are not inherent but rather results of the influence of these hidden variables. The central argument is that a more complete description of chemical systems requires acknowledging and incorporating these HCVs, leading to more accurate predictions and a deeper understanding of chemical reactions and properties. The exploration of HCVs promises a shift from purely probabilistic models to a more deterministic, yet fundamentally quantum-influenced, framework for chemical theory. ---
