Abstract

There have been recent attempts at justifying, from first principles, and within the standard framework, the emergence of classical behavior in the post-inflationary cosmological context. Accounting for this emergence is an important issue, as it underlies the extraordinary empirical success of our current understanding of cosmology. In this work, we offer a critique of different efforts at explaining the emergence of classical behavior in cosmology within the standard framework. We argue that such endeavors are generically found lacking in conceptual clarity, as they invariably rely, either upon unjustified, implicit assumptions, or on circular logic. We conclude that, within the standard approach, the emergence of classical behavior in cosmology constitutes an unexplained phenomenon.
