" the big conceptual barrier blocking many researchers from seriously considering TI is its time-symmetry: TI allows what Price (1997) terms “advanced action” in the form of confirmation waves; that is, physical influences (of limited scope) operating in a time-reversed direction. It is commonly thought that such influences must give rise to causal paradoxes, conflicts with relativity, or other inconsistencies. ... absorbers provide the confirmation waves that give rise to incipient transactions (four-vector superpositions of OW and CW) and thus trigger collapses (actualized transactions), bringing clear and decisive closure to state vectors at appropriate levels. Such actualized transactions will furthermore naturally line up with decoherence arguments, since decoherence, taking into account as it does the total environment of a system, is fundamentally based on the nature of absorbers available to emitted particles."
