We develop a new interpretation of quantum theory by combining insights from extended Wigner's friend scenarios and quantum causal modelling. In this interpretation, which synthesizes ideas from relational quantum mechanics and consistent histories, events obtain relative to a set of systems, and correspond to projectors that are picked out by causal structure. We articulate these ideas using a precise mathematical formalism. Using this formalism, we show through specific examples and general constructions how quantum phenomena can be modelled and paradoxes avoided; how different scenarios may be classified and the framework of quantum causal models extended; and how one can approach decoherence and emergent classicality without relying on quantum states.

  1. A refined Frauchiger--Renner paradox based on strong contextuality

    quant-ph 2024-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The authors derive a GHZ-FR paradox from strong contextuality that avoids post-selection and quantum reasoning by modeled observers, unlike the original FR paradox.

  2. Decoherence without the state: A causal quantum Darwinist approach

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Decoherence is recast as causal information proliferation in unitary circuits, with dual decoherence selecting privileged consistent histories and letting states and outcomes emerge.
