The Quantum Mechanics of Being and Its Manifestation
Ulrich Mohrhoff

TL;DR
This paper explores the interpretation of quantum mechanics as a framework describing both the fundamental nature of reality and the probabilistic assignment of events, emphasizing a distinction between manifest and unmanifested aspects without relying on observers.
Contribution
It offers a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics that distinguishes between the manifested world and its manifestation, avoiding observer dependence.
Findings
Provides a new conceptual framework for quantum mechanics
Clarifies the distinction between definite and measurement-dependent quantities
Proposes an interpretation free from observer-centric assumptions
Abstract
How can quantum mechanics be (i) the fundamental theoretical framework of contemporary physics and (ii) a probability calculus that presupposes the events to which, and on the basis of which, it assigns probabilities? The question is answered without invoking knowledge or observers, by interpreting the necessary distinction between two kinds of physical quantities - unconditionally definite quantities and quantities that have values only if they are measured - as a distinction between the manifested world and its manifestation.
