Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the recently developed contextual probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, see [123], [124], Växjö interpretation. Oppositely to the Copenhagen interpretation (at least its orthodox form) the Växjö interpretation is a realist interpretation of quantum theory. The possibility of using such a realist interpretation of quantum theory is especially important in applications of quantum formalism to cognitive sciences.
Often we enter the unknown edifice of a new scientific discipline through a lesser gate that leads us into a side passage. It may take us a long while to find our way to the main portal and to view the whole structure in its proper perspective.
