In quantum mechanics it is well known that, if any two states are superposed, they interfere with each other. It is true, we should not deny such interference in principle, but we may assert what follows. When two states different from each other in a great many degrees of freedom are superposed, the interference effect becomes obscure. If they are dif· ferent in an infinitely many degrees of freedom, they do not interfere at all, and their superposition is nothing but a mere probability function. This assertion enables us to understand how the probability amplitude for a micro·system is converted into a probability function for a measuring apparatus in the course of measurement.
