There is No Quantum World

TL;DR

This paper proposes a neo-Bohrian interpretation of quantum mechanics, supported by von Neumann's framework, which addresses the measurement problem and emphasizes classical concepts in quantum theory.

Contribution

It introduces a neo-Bohrian interpretation aligned with Bohr's insights, using von Neumann's infinite product framework to resolve foundational issues.

Findings

Provides a neo-Bohrian interpretation consistent with Bohr's views

Uses von Neumann's framework to address the measurement problem

Justifies the primacy of classical concepts in quantum mechanics

Abstract

I outline a neo-Bohrian interpretation of quantum mechanics -- a view of quantum mechanics that accords with the core insights in Bohr's thinking, with a twist that justifies the prefix `neo.' In a second part of the paper, I show how von Neumann's work on infinite direct products provides a theoretical framework that deflates the measurement problem and justifies Bohr's insistence on the primacy of classical concepts.
