Kwantowa teoria miary a ontologia
Journal Title: Filozofia Nauki - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Since noncommutative measure theory plays a central role in the quantum theory, one might say that quantum mechanics is a new generalized theory of probability. That assertion, however, raises many problems with interpreting quantum probabilities and quantum events. Although one can take a radically instrumentalist or pragmatist approach toward this question, it is much more interesting, both theoretically and heuristically, to adopt a realistic or ontological strategy that treats the quantum measure as an effective parameter of an underlying time-symmetric regime of physical dynamics, which only generates the classical events and probabilities at its limit. It is argued that time-symmetric relativistic reformulations of the quantum theory with time-like nonseparability have important advantages over space-like nonlocal hidden-variable Bohmian-type models, which have Aristotelian spacetime as their natural environment.

The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze the first (1922) of a long series of Hilbert’s works in which he presented the mature version of formalism. His formalism in 1922 can be called mature because it is charac...
