Ignoring unitarity for a mo', something that calculates a probability of an area value that is statistically smudged and observer dependent looks like the beginning of tiling a landscape to me. :think: :dunno:


I suppose if you want to think of the quantum spacetime as a landscape, yes. But my understanding (maybe wrong ?) of the string landscape is that it's a landscape of possible theories, which is something not quite as nice like.

Ah thanks. I thought you might know - you seem to have your finger on the astrophysical pulse.
