"I just gave my colleague Nifa and Chetan tentative proofs of getting special relativity and general relativity. It looks very, very plausible to me. And I've got a— I'm working on the Born rule."
Donald Hoffman says he has shared tentative proofs with colleagues that his mathematical framework can recover aspects of Einstein’s special and general relativity. He also says he is working on the Born rule, but provides no paper or published derivation in the excerpt.
