Abstract
The nonclassical features of quantum mechanicsare reproduced using models constructed with a classicaltheory — general relativity. The inability todefine complete initial data consistently andindependently of future measurements, nonlocality, and thenon-Boolean logical structure are reproduced by theseexamples. The key feature of the models is the role oftopology change. It is the breakdown of causal structure associated with topology change that leads tothe apparently nonclassical behavior. For geons,topology change is required to describe the interactionof particles. It is therefore natural to regard topology change as an essential part of the measurementprocess. This leads to models in which the measurementimposes additional nonredundant boundary conditions. Theinitial state cannot be described independently of the measurement and there is a causalconnection between the measurement and the initialstate.
