On the Conceptuality Interpretation of Quantum and Relativity Theories

TL;DR

This paper proposes a conceptuality interpretation of quantum and relativistic entities, suggesting their strange behaviors are due to their nature being fundamentally conceptual rather than objectual, which simplifies their interpretation.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that quantum and relativistic entities share a conceptual nature, offering a new perspective that resolves many interpretational difficulties.

Findings

Many interpretational difficulties disappear under the conceptuality hypothesis

Quantum and relativistic entities are better understood as sharing a common conceptual nature

Our view of the physical world becomes radically different but more coherent

Abstract

How can we explain the strange behavior of quantum and relativistic entities? Why do they behave in ways that defy our intuition about how physical entities should behave, considering our ordinary experience of the world around us? In this article, we address these questions by showing that the comportment of quantum and relativistic entities is not that strange after all, if we only consider what their nature might possibly be: not an objectual one, but a conceptual one. This not in the sense that quantum and relativistic entities would be human concepts, but in the sense that they would share with the latter a same conceptual nature, similarly to how electromagnetic and sound waves, although very different entities, can share a same undulatory nature. When this hypothesis is adopted, i.e., when a 'conceptuality interpretation' about the deep nature of physical entities is taken seriously, many of the interpretational difficulties disappear and our physical world is back making sense, though our view of it becomes radically different from what our classical prejudice made us believe in the first place.
