Thanks Brian
 
I am trying to wade through England’s paper on self-replication.
 
It is all classical so it is incomplete. He really cannot succeed using only classical physics.
 
He needs to extend his theory to the Bohm interpretation including the quantum potential Q with entanglement effects.

Abstract. Bohmian mechanics provides an explanation of quantum phenomena in terms of point-like particles
guided by wave functions. This review focuses on the use of nonrelativistic Bohmian mechanics to
address practical problems, rather than on its interpretation. Although the Bohmian and standard quantum
theories have different formalisms, both give exactly the same predictions for all phenomena. Fifteen years
ago, the quantum chemistry community began to study the practical usefulness of Bohmian mechanics.
Since then, the scientific community has mainly applied it to study the (unitary) evolution of single-particle
wave functions, either by developing efficient quantum trajectory algorithms or by providing a trajectory-based
explanation of complicated quantum phenomena. Here we present a large list of examples showing
how the Bohmian formalism provides a useful solution in different forefront research fields for this kind
of problems (where the Bohmian and the quantum hydrodynamic formalisms coincide). In addition, this
work also emphasizes that the Bohmian formalism can be a useful tool in other types of (nonunitary
and nonlinear) quantum problems where the influence of the environment or the nonsimulated degrees of
freedom are relevant. This review contains also examples on the use of the Bohmian formalism for the
many-body problem, decoherence and measurement processes. The ability of the Bohmian formalism to
analyze this last type of problems for (open) quantum systems remains mainly unexplored by the scientific
community. The authors of this review are convinced that the nal status of the Bohmian theory among
the scientific community will be greatly influenced by its potential success in those types of problems that
present nonunitary and/or nonlinear quantum evolutions. A brief introduction of the Bohmian formalism
and some of its extensions are presented in the last part of this review."
 
However, I hope some of his basic organizing ideas for open steady state dissipative structures relating entropy production to forward and backward transition rates continue to hold in the quantum regime - especially using Rod Sutherland’s new approach to Bohm’s 1952 pilot wave theory.

please send his real papers if you find them

I think I’ve come across some of the details.  Meanwhile my own gloss on this is provisionally described at arxiv:1506.06774, but I’m currently integrating it with the ideas of Hankey, at http://philpapers.org/rec/HANCBI-3.
