Additional quotes by Lee Smolin

Rule I: Except during a measurement, the wave evolves smoothly and deterministically, like a wave on water. ...
Rule II: During a measurement of position, the wave collapses around the position where it is seen, with a probability proportional to the square of the height of the wave, before the collapse. ...
In fact the two rules seem to contradict each other.
