What Connects Different Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics?

Quantum Physics 2014-11-18 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We investigate the idea that different interpretations of quantum mechanics can be seen as restrictions of the consistent (or decoherent) histories quantum mechanics of closed systems to particular classes of histories,together with the approximations and descriptions of these histories that the restrictions permit.
