dc.descriptionCounting outcomes is the obvious algorithm for generating probabilities in quantum mechanics without state-vector reduction (i.e. many-worlds). This procedure has usually been rejected because for purely linear dynamics it gives results in disagreement with experiment. Here it is shown that if non-linear decoherence effects (previously proposed by other authors) are combined with an exponential time dependence of the scale for the non-linear effects, the correct measure-dependent probabilities can emerge via outcome counting, without the addition of any stochastic fields or metaphysical hypotheses.
