Summary
This chapter discusses the necessity of interpreting offer and confirmation waves as possibilities whose structure is described by Hilbert space. The transactional process leads to a set of incipient transactions, with spontaneous symmetry breaking resulting in the actualization of one, which constitutes the process of “measurement” and the emergence of spacetime events from the quantum substratum.
