| R. Penrose, The Emperor's
New Mind (Vintage, London, 1990): Apart his
rather immense contributions in mathematics and physics, I remark here this extraordinary book
because it is an excellent example of cleverly combining the advances in
general relativity with other modern topics, including artificial
intelligence, consciousness, cosmology, philosophy and ultimately an
interpretation of what human mind actually may be. |
| J.B. Hartle, Generalized
Quantum Theory, Phys. Rev. D49, 6543 (1994); Int. J. Mod. Phys. A16, 1
(2001):
Starting with the sum-over-histories approach to
quantum theory, a general and detailed treatment is provided for the
formulation of the Decoherence Function and its applications to
nonfoliating manifolds. |
