%0 Journal Article %T The Born rule from a consistency requirement on hidden measurements in complex Hilbert space %A S. Aerts %J Physics %D 2002 %I arXiv %X We formalize the hidden measurement approach within the very general notion of an interactive probability model. We narrow down the model by assuming the state space of a physical entity is a complex Hilbert space and introduce the principle of consistent interaction which effectively partitions the space of apparatus states. The normalized measure of the set of apparatus states that interact with a pure state giving rise to a fixed outcome is shown to be in accordance with the probability obtained using the Born rule. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0212151v1
