Author manuscript, December 1995; published in Experimental Metaphysics in 1997. Discusses the absence of back-reaction and a law-like universal wave function.

Detlef Dürr, Sheldon Goldstein and Nino Zanghì investigated how the usual quantum measurement rules arise in Bohmian mechanics, where a wave function guides a definite particle configuration. Their analysis connects quantum equilibrium, with configuration probability density $\rho =|\psi {|}^2$, to the statistics of apparatus records. In this account, a self-adjoint operator summarizes a class of experimental procedures; its appearance does not require every quantum observable to be an additional pre-existing particle property.^[ref]
