An overview of the Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics is presented.
This interpretation proceeds from the recognition that the fundamental theoretical
framework of physics is a probability algorithm, which serves to describe an
objective fuzziness (the literal meaning of Heisenberg?s term ?Unschärfe,? usually
mistranslated as ?uncertainty?) by assigning objective probabilities to the possible
outcomes of unperformed measurements. Although it rejects attempts to construe
quantum states as evolving ontological states, it arrives at an objective description
of the quantum world that owes nothing to observers or the goings-on in physics
laboratories. In fact, unless such attempts are rejected, quantum theory?s true
ontological implications cannot be seen. Among these are the radically relational
nature of space, the numerical identity of the corresponding relata, the incomplete
spatiotemporal differentiation of the physical world, and the consequent top-down
structure of reality, which defies attempts to model it from the bottom up, whether
on the basis of an intrinsically differentiated spacetime manifold or out of a multitude
of individual building blocks.
