Duality and measurement: the Copenhagen reconciliation

TL;DR

This paper reaffirms the dual-aspect interpretation of quantum mechanics based on Copenhagen principles, proposing a multi-dimensional schema that resolves the measurement problem and related dichotomies by emphasizing duality over monism.

Contribution

It introduces a multi-perspective dual-aspect schema for quantum theory that dissolves traditional measurement and macro-micro dichotomies rooted in monistic interpretations.

Findings

Resolves the measurement problem through dual-aspect framework

Dissolves macro-micro dichotomy in quantum theory

Reaffirms the Copenhagen interpretation's duality principles

Abstract

Duality, not monism, constitutes the hermeneutic lens that characterizes the original Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Therefore, evoking the principles of correspondence and complementarity, in this work we re-assert a dual-aspect reading of quantum theory, structured through a multi-perspective schema encompassing its ontological, analytical, epistemological, causal, and information dimensions. We then show how this schema dissolves the so-called 'measurement problem', along with the associated 'knowledge-information' and 'macro-micro' dichotomies, issues historically raised within later monistic or universalist philosophical settings that ultimately depart from the traditional Copenhagen spirit.
