Abstract
Despite all negative accounts in many popular and superficial
discussions of quantum theory, causal and realistic interpretations
of the quantum mechanical formalism can be demonstrated to work
perfectly well. They accept nonlocality as a well-established
fact and mostly consider a quantum system as analyzable into a
local particlelike nonlinearity of a generally nonlocal wavelike
mode of some subquantum structure of the vacuum (`Dirac ether').
In this view, a particle can be considered as being guided along
one specific route by the (generally nonlocal) configurations
of superimposed waves, which spread along all possible paths of
an experimental setup. Moreover, in the approach of quantum cybernetics,
an additional focus is on the fact that the energy and momentum
of a particle also determine the wave behavior. Thus, waves and
particles are mutually and self-consistently defined, and quantum
cybernetics puts particular emphasis on the circular relationship
- mediated by plane waves - between a quantum system and its macroscopically
defined boundary conditions. To show how firmly rooted this picture
is in the orthodox quantum theory, an example is discussed here
on the basis of the standard formalism that makes a systemic approach
called for. |
