The Ontology Conservation Law as an Alternative to the Many World Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper proposes an interpretation of quantum mechanics based on ontology conservation laws, suggesting that quantum uncertainties stem from deterministic laws combined with statistical principles, offering an alternative to the Many-Worlds interpretation.

Contribution

It introduces conservation laws of ontological variables as a foundational element, providing a sharper formulation of an interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Findings

Quantum mechanics can be viewed as combining deterministic laws with statistical uncertainties.

Uncertainties are transferred from initial to final states through conservation laws.

The approach offers an alternative perspective to the Many-Worlds interpretation.

Abstract

A sharper formulation is presented for an interpretation of quantum mechanics advocated by author. As an essential element we put forward conservation laws concerning the ontological nature of a variable, and the uncertainties concerning the realisation of states. Quantum mechanics can then be treated as a device that combines statistics with mechanical, deterministic laws, such that uncertainties are passed on from initial states to final states.
