Title:Seminar on Records Theory

Authors:Edward Anderson

Abstract: In quantum gravity, one seeks to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity. In attempting to do so, one comes across the `problem of time' impasse: the notion of time is conceptually different in each of these theories. In this seminar, I consider the timeless records approach toward resolving this. Records are localized, information-containing subconfigurations of a single instant. Records theory is the study of these and of how science (or history) is to be abstracted from correlations between them. I explain how to motivate this approach, provide a ground-level structure for it and discuss what kind of further tools are needed. For a more comprehensive account with many more references, see [1].
