In the double slit experiment, the probabilistic quantum observation results from the non-Lipschitz constraint force in the slit. For the harmonic oscillator, the Coulomb wave, the particle in the box, or the spinning particle, the initial probabilistic density distribution is classically propagated forward in time. In the EPR experiment [64,65], theorem 2.4 determines a constant angular momentum \u03c7o\u2191,\u03c7o\u2193 over time, and lemma 3.3 in turn allows a classical interpretation that the decision which spin correlation is sensed behind the filters is already taken when the particles separate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fundamental quantum postulates on the existence of a wave function, its propagation with the Schr\u00f6dinger equation in theorem 3.2 and the wave collapse at a measurement in lemma 3.3 are derived from the classical theorem 2.4.
