Even more generally, one could ask whether the results of decoherence could thus be used to explain the emergence of the entire classicality of the everyday world, i.e., to explain both kinematical features such as macroscopic localisation and dynamical features such as approximately Newtonian or Brownian trajectories, whenever they happen to be phenomenologically adequate descriptions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the case of statistical physics, we want to derive "macroscopic" conclusions about a physical system that require the initial state (and therefore also the final state) to be known incompletely, and a sensible choice of the priors is important (for example, one is not allowed to assume that the initial state is conspired to lead to a special or low-energy final state). ❋ Unknown (2009)
