Defining what is Quantum: Not all what matters for physical phenomena is contained in space-time

TL;DR

This paper argues that key quantum interpretations support the principle that not all aspects of physical phenomena are contained within space-time, suggesting a fundamental principle underlying quantum theory and Born's rule.

Contribution

It introduces Principle Q as a foundational concept that unifies major quantum interpretations and offers a new way to define quantum physics from fundamental principles.

Findings

Supports Principle Q through analysis of main quantum interpretations

Links Principle Q to Born's rule

Proposes Principle Q as a fundamental basis for quantum theory

Abstract

It is argued that the three main quantum interpretations, Copenhagen, de Broglie-Bohm, and Many-Worlds, support the Principle Q (Quantum): Not all what matters for physical phenomena is contained in space-time. This principle underpins Born's rule as well. So Principle Q may be the best way to defining Quantum "from more fundamental principles".
