Measurement Mechanics — Resolves QM Measurement Discrepancies

Measurement Mechanics proposes a major modification to the current understanding of measurement. This modification adds a unit standard as axiomatic to measurement theory. Currently, measurement theory (representational) defines the result of a measurement comparison to be a ratio of quantities (numerical value and unit) where the unit terms are equal and cancel. When the units cancel such a ratio is local to one measurement system, i.e., probabilistic. Thus all QM measurement results, based upon current measurement theory are local, as J. S. Bell confirmed. However, the units of each metrology measurement result are correlated by calibration to an independent unit standard. Then measurement result comparisons are a ratio of quantities each correlated to a common unit standard, which allows independent measurement result comparisons that are non-local and deterministic. When unit standards are included in measurement theory all the apparent discrepancies between QM and classic measurements are resolved.
