Ontological Motivation in Obtaining Certain Quantum Equations: A Case for Panexperientialism

TL;DR

This paper proposes an ontological framework supporting a non-hierarchical state to derive fundamental quantum equations, advocating for panexperientialism as a philosophical basis that challenges indirect realism.

Contribution

It introduces a novel ontological approach to derive key quantum equations and advocates for panexperientialism as a philosophical foundation.

Findings

Derivation of Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon, and electromagnetic Klein-Gordon equations from ontological principles.

Argues that such an ontological state conflicts with indirect realism.

Supports panexperientialism as a straightforward philosophical stance.

Abstract

In this work I argue for the existence of an ontological state in which no entity in it can be more basic than the others in such a state. This is used to provide conceptual justification for a method that is applied to obtain the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, the Klein-Gordon equation, and the Klein-Gordon equation for a particle in an electromagnetic field. Additionally, it is argued that the existence of such state is incompatible with indirect realism; and the discussion suggests that a panexeperientialist view is a straightforward means to embrace it.
