Desired Realities: Concept and Examples

Figure 1: A minimal example of a Desired Reality.The user is standing at the corner of a virtual crossroad (left).Conventionally, whether the user can cross the desired direction when arriving at the crossroad at a random instance in time depends on an observed state of reality.In contrast, with a Desired Reality, observation does not lead to a collapse of possibilities into a single reality.Hence, green and red are equally possible for pedestrians and cars in all directions (see traffic lights and semi-visible cars).Depending on the side the user decides to cross the two possibilities collapse into a single reality (right).

Abstract

Figure 1: A minimal example of a Desired Reality.The user is standing at the corner of a virtual crossroad (left).Conventionally, whether the user can cross the desired direction when arriving at the crossroad at a random instance in time depends on an observed state of reality.In contrast, with a Desired Reality, observation does not lead to a collapse of possibilities into a single reality.Hence, green and red are equally possible for pedestrians and cars in all directions (see traffic lights and semi-visible cars).Depending on the side the user decides to cross the two possibilities collapse into a single reality (right).
