Quantum Mechanics is Either Non-Linear Or Non-Introspective

Quantum Physics 2016-09-08 v1

Abstract

The measurement conundrum seems to have plagued quantum mechanics for so long that impressions of an inconsistency amongst its axioms have spawned. A demonstration that such purported inconsistency is fictitious may then be in order and is presented here. An exclusion principle of sorts emerges, stating that quantum mechanics cannot be simultaneously linear and introspective (self-observing).
