In their defense, they are really, really GOOD illusions.
Lots of good mathematical implications in this soft science article.

Good article, Mosca, thanks for the link!

Brilliant.
I don't get how unitarity is in question though. I don't view this as an assumed law of nature but as a matter of definition.
The probability of an outcome is the number of times that outcome happens divided by the total number of observations. Thus the sum of all the probabilities must always equal 1, at any point in the observation process.
Can someone explain the point about unitarity better than the article?

The Hindu's called it Maya about 6000 years ago. Its
all an illusion. The dream of Vishnu. Whats old is
new again.

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Or,
Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Softly through liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is but an illusion.
I learned that watching Mr Rogers when I was 6.

I'm not sure, but I think that the new set of equations don't need unitarity like current quantum theory does. They work without assuming it.
I could have missed the point, though, and very badly.
