Abstract
Let be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and the C*-algebra of bounded operators on Suppose that are self-adjoint operators in We show that, if commutators are sufficiently small in norm, then ``Approximately Macroscopically Unique" states always exist for any values in a synthetic spectrum of the -tuple of self-adjoint operators. This is achieved under the circumstance for which the -tuple may not be approximated by commuting ones. This answers a question proposed by David Mumford for measurements in quantum theory. If commutators are not small in norm but small modulo compact operators, then ``Approximate Macroscopic Uniqueness" states also exist.
