Abstract

In the many histories interpretation of quantum mechanics [1,2,3,4] one assigns probabilities to histories P ₁ (t ₁) …P _n (t _n ) where the propositions P _k can be pictured as gates through which the system has to pass at a time t _k . A consistent probability assignment should observe two kinds of links.
