Re:What’s Going on During Wave Function ‘Collapse’

I think in QTT there is no collapse event, just a series of state transitions. It looks like the concept of a collapse is a product of a less complete understanding of what is going on.
That’s why the article spends so much time contrasting QTT with the view offered by Shroedingers equation. With Shroedinger there is no specific state predicted, so you have to introduce the concept of some event inducing a specific state to occur. QTT allows continuous prediction of state and even the ability to prevent or influence state transitions. At least that’s what I got out if it, although I’ll concede I think that’s a rough attempt at a summary.
