Abstract

In this chapter we shall present an outline of a proposal expressed in a subtitle of this book: the many-valued interpretation of quantum mechanics, according to the scheme adopted in Chap. 2. However, before we do this, let us consider the following situation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is not a problem to a vast number of scholars that are comfortable with the apparent “non-locality of QM”. Our “guts feeling” is that no influence, carrying information or not, should propagate faster than light. This issue is, however, not addressed at the present stage of development of the proposed MVI of QM.

  2. 2.

    This problem is solved if MVI is applied to any of “Objective Collapse Theories”, but of course not when it is applied to the “Orthodox QM”.
