In the standard mathematical formalism, the environment were treated classically, this is because observers (being macroscopic recording mechanisms) are treated classically, so the system is isolated. Decoherence is about open system, so how is decoherence compatible with Copenhagen or the standard formalism at all?
How can you make the standard formalism have an open system-environment too? Or perhaps is it correct to think the standard mathematical formalism is already updated and Copenhagen is already outdated? How do you link the two if you were to give a lecture about this in class (which I'll do)?
