The locality of quantum subsystems III: A 'subsystem compatible' interpretation of quantum mechanics

TL;DR

This paper proposes a retrocausal interpretation of quantum mechanics where de Broglie-Bohm particles act as retrocausal agents, aiming to provide a local realist ontology consistent with quantum subsystem descriptions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel retrocausal interpretation that aligns de Broglie-Bohm particles with local subsystem descriptions, offering a new perspective on quantum ontology.

Findings

Develops a retrocausal interpretation compatible with local quantum subsystem descriptions.

Provides a framework linking de Broglie-Bohm particles to retrocausal agents.

Suggests a consistent local realist ontology for quantum mechanics.

Abstract

A local description of quantum subsystems can be used to construct ontologies of the full quantum predictions. This paper communicates one possible way to do so. A retrocausal interpretation of quantum mechanics where the de Broglie-Bohm particles are the retrocausal agents is developed. This interpretation is constrained to be compatible with the existence of a local realist description of quantum subsystems.
