Symmetry principle dictates that the concept of probability is more fundamental than the notion of the wave function in that the former can be derived directly from symmetries rather than have to be assumed as an additional axiom. It is argued that the notion of quantum probability and that of the wavefunction are intimately connected.展开更多

We achieve consistent results by taking the <em>j</em> = 1/2 edges as dominant and by subjecting these edges to experience quantum fluctuations at the horizon. This also leads to a modification of the value of the Immirzi parameter in the <em>SU</em>(2) framework.展开更多
