This paper provides theorems aimed at shedding light on issues in the foundations of quantum mechanics. These theorems can be used to propose new interpretations to the theory, or to better understand, evaluate and improve current interpretations. Some of these applications include: (1) A proof of the existence of pilot-wave theories that are fully equivalent to standard quantum mechanics in a path-wise sense. This equivalence is stronger than what is entailed from the more traditional requirements of equivariance, or good mixing properties, and is necessary to assure proper correlations across time and proper records of the past. (2) A proposal for a minimalistic ontology for non-collapse quantum mechanics, in which Born's rule provides the proper predictions.(3) The observation of a close relationship between Born's rule and a version of the superposition principle. |
