Von Neumann's own argument to the contrary is that, assuming the relevant decomposition of the final state (1) to be of the form 5Presumably, the microscopic states of the apparatus corresponding to different readings need to be orthogonal, but will not form a basis of the (very high-dimensional) And indeed, since the finest ignorance-interpretable decomposition of ρ fixes the set of possible initial apparatus states that are invoked to explain the different measurement results, letting this decomposition depend on the state |ψ〉 of the system to be measured means that in general be noted, however, that von Neumann's assumption that the ignoranceinterpretable decomposition of the final state is of the form (6) essentially ./cache/work_cmkoqz22mjdzdglcw2y4swmxyi.pdf ./txt/work_cmkoqz22mjdzdglcw2y4swmxyi.txt
