• Title: A new interpretation of quantum theory, based on a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism
• Authors: Martin Korth
• Abstract summary: The 'weirdness' of quantum theory can be understood to derive from a vanishing distinguishability of indiscernible particles. The claim is made that quantum theory can be interpreted in an intelligible way by positing a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism instead of materialism.

• Abstract: After about a century since the first attempts by Bohr, the interpretation of quantum theory is still a field with many open questions. In this article a new interpretation of quantum theory is suggested, motivated by philosophical considerations. Based on the findings that the 'weirdness' of quantum theory can be understood to derive from a vanishing distinguishability of indiscernible particles, and the observation that a similar vanishing distinguishability is found for bundle theories in philosophical ontology, the claim is made that quantum theory can be interpreted in an intelligible way by positing a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism instead of materialism as the underlying fundamental nature of reality.

  I present and defend a new ontology for quantum theories (or sinterpretation'' of quantum theory) called Generative Quantum Interpretation (GQT) GQT provides a series of important benefits that current widely discussed lack, namely, wave function realism and primitive primitive, without some of their costs. I will argue that GQT should be taken seriously because it provides a series of important benefits that current widely discussed lack, namely, wave function realism and primitive primitive, without some of their costs.

  It appears that for quantum theory to be viable in a realist sense, it must possess genuine, physical non-unitarity. Penrose's theory of gravitation-induced collapse and the Transactional Interpretation are discussed.

• Towards Noncommutative Quantum Reality [0.0]
  The implications of the physical theory of quantum mechanics on the question of realism is much a subject of sustaining interest. We give here a picture of quantum mechanics as the basic theory for nonrelativistic' particle dynamics. The key is to fully embrace the noncommutativity of the theory and see it as a notion about the reality of physical quantities.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
