Mathematical vs Empirical Measurement

TL;DR

This paper discusses the distinction between mathematical and phenomenological perspectives in quantum measurement, critiquing Ozawa's approach to wave-collapse and system interactions.

Contribution

It highlights a fundamental problem in Ozawa's attempt to connect mathematical formalism with physical phenomena, emphasizing a clear separation between the two.

Findings

Identifies issues in Ozawa's interpretation of wave-collapse

Argues for a distinction between mathematical and phenomenological worlds

Critiques the attribution of wave-collapse to system interactions

Abstract

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I will put in evidence a problem nested in Ozawa's effort to block von Neumann's chains and in his attributing the wave-collapse to a interaction between systems. This suggests distinguishing sharply the mathematical world from the phenomenological one.
