Abstract
Griffiths claims that the 'single family rule', a basic postulate of the de coherent histories approach, rules out our requirement that any decoherent history has a unique truth value, independently from the decoherent family to which it may belong. Here we analyze the reasons which make our requirem ent indispensable and we discuss the consequences of rejecting it. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
