Description
Scope/Content: Among Hugh Everett's files were a number of handwritten documents related to the writing of his thesis. Many of them were drafts of material that ultimately appeared in the long thesis. This document, entitled "4. The stochastic process interpretation," was found in a file labeled "Footnotes," which consisted mostly of partial drafts of material (not necessarily footnotes) that was discussed in the long thesis. This document discusses Bopp's stochastic variable theory, in some ways similar to the more recent GRW interpretation
Scope/Content: This document was found in the basement of Mark Everett in 2007 by Mark Everett and Peter Byrne, in a file labelled "Footnotes."
