NO
minor mistake: "sum-squared-magnitude-conserving" is interestingly different from "unitary"
Resolved
NO
catastrophic problem: there's some ~insurmountable gulf between the post's framework and our universe
Resolved
NO
catastrophic problem: quantum mechanics actually frequently displays non-unitary dynamics
Resolved
NO
minor mistake: 1+ of the diagrams I claimed showed unitary dynamics actually doesn't, or vice versa
Resolved
NO
big problem: the last two example systems don't actually meaningfully correspond to the real-world QM experiments I claim (but this is relatively-easily-salvageable)
Resolved
NO
catastrophic problem: the last two example systems don't actually meaningfully correspond to the real-world QM experiments I claim (unsalvageably)
Resolved
NO
minor problem: I mis-linked at least one exercise-solution

I just published "Quantum without complication". This set of markets is about any errors it contains.

  • As a costly signal of believing what I'm saying, and an incentive for people to point out my mistakes, I'm buying NO on everything.

  • The "25x number of ..." markets will resolve on Feb 1, to PROB(25% times the number of that kind of mistake I think I made).

  • I'm confident my stake won't affect my assessment of what's not-an-issue/minor/major/catastrophic.

  • Feel free to point out issues by adding markets! I promise to only bet NO. If you post a limit order, I will probably bet NO against that limit order even if I believe YES, to reward you for pointing out a problem.

  • If you point out a mistake, I will probably not spend more than 10min thinking about it; if I get bored before I feel like I understand it, I'll resolve markets assuming it's not a real problem.
