Taking Heisenberg’s Potentia Seriously. (arXiv:1709.03595v5 [quant-ph] UPDATED)  quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-3-23 12:59am GMT Authors: R. E. Kastner, Stuart Kauffman, Michael Epperson It is argued that quantum theory is best understood as requiring an ontological duality of res extensa and res potentia, where the latter is understood per Heisenberg’s original proposal, and the former is roughly equivalent to Descartes’ ‘extended substance.’ However,… Read more →
