Interaction-Conditional Semantics and the Dissolution of Quantum Paradoxes

TL;DR

This paper proposes that quantum paradoxes stem from semantic errors related to interaction conditional outcomes, and introduces principles that resolve these puzzles by grounding outcomes in measurement geometry, leading to a relational form of objectivity.

Contribution

It introduces four principles for configuration relative predication that dissolve quantum paradoxes without new physics or ad hoc interpretations.

Findings

Dissolves quantum puzzles through semantic correction

Reframes Bell's and Kochen-Specker theorems as constraints on explanation

Establishes a relational objectivity avoiding naive realism and subjectivism

Abstract

This paper argues that several canonical puzzles in quantum mechanics, including spin measurement, the double slit, entanglement correlations, and Wigner's friend, share a common origin in a semantic error and the illicit promotion of interaction conditional outcomes to intrinsic properties. I introduce four principles that license only configuration relative predication, grounding outcomes in physical measurement geometry while preserving objectivity. Applying these principles uniformly dissolves each puzzle without new physics or ad hoc interpretive machinery. Bell's theorem and the Kochen-Specker theorem are reframed not as dynamical mysteries but as constraints on permissible explanatory structure, evidence that intrinsic-outcome semantics is incompatible with empirical reality. The result is a relational objectivity that avoids both naive property realism and observer subjectivism.
