4 Results Summary
The key result is the formulation of quantum mechanics without the collapse postulate (“pure wave mechanics”), introducing the concept of relative states. Everett shows that observers, treated as physical systems, will have determinate relative measurement records, and that in the limit of many measurements, almost all relative sequences exhibit the standard quantum statistics via a typicality measure. Thus, the conventional probabilistic predictions are recovered as subjective appearances within a deterministic, no-collapse framework.
